The Dovecote was a perfect base for my short stay in the area. The cottage is clean, cosy, very well appointed and stylishly presented. The bed and soft furnishings are really comfortable and although close to the road the cottage is really peaceful. Helen provided a generous welcome box of goodies and communication beforehand was excellent.I hope to return to explore the area some more.
