The reviews are great, and the photos are breathtaking, but the Dovecot is even more fantastic in real life. My boyfriend and I still cannot stop talking about how amazing it was. The solid building still has its original 500 year-old stone, but there are many modern conveniences seamlessly blended for comfort, so it's ancient and modern at the same time. The heated floors were a luxury. The shower was lit like an art installation, and so we were actually taking photos of the bathroom (a first!). There are even little garden lights that will turn on at the push of a button on the key chain, so if it's dark, it looks like little fairies are lighting the way through the ancient garden. Everything was so well thought out and uncluttered. It's a very special, magic place that obviously had a lot of care put into it. The host, Sarah, was so kind and considerate. I wish I could've had a cup of tea with her and asked about her art. She seems like an interesting artist. She had personally prepared reviews of local restaurants and pubs, which was extremely helpful to us being in an unfamiliar town. Thanks to her, we heard some great Scotland folk music. And she even typed up some of her research of the Dovecot so we got to learn about the building's history. I'm ecstatic we decided to stay here. I will be dreaming about the Dovecot.
