We weren't disappointed with the welcome we received from Brigita at the Dovecote Barns. The location, the cleanliness, decor and the welcome basket were all excellent. We stayed in the Haybarn and the Irishman's Cottage and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. In fact they were so good we're taking the family back there in June.

Excellent in every way. A lovely long weekend in fabulous surroundings. The barns are exceptionally comfortable and everything that you could want is provided. All rooms were very well appointed, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. Our host was fabulous and friendly and all aspects of the booking process and stay were dealt with professionally and with a smile. Highly recommended.
