If you are looking for somewhere that's beautiful and a little different, then look no further!
I made the booking for my mum as surprise over christmas, and even though I only live 15 mins away I did make the most of the sofa bed during the stay.
The location is really central with the perk of a parking space, which is a massive bonus in an area which is all pay and diplay and permits. It's also close enough to bus services if you would rather not walk into town.
The dovecote has everything that you could need from a bolt hole. It was clean, tidy, well laid out and beautifully presented. There is everything you could need in the kitchen, but it is more designed for eating out as apart from the gas rings it has a combination microwave rather than an oven.
The feel of the place was almost like being in a chalet in France with the wooden interior which for me gave it a really cosy feel.
All in all, I would even go as far to say I would book it for myself for a treat even though I live so close. It's not very often you can stay somewhere so quirky, steeped in so much history and yet so beautifully refurbished.
