Loverly clean place with everthing you needed the secure garden was great for our little dog to play we brought a baby gate to stop our dog going up stairs but there was one aready there. This cottage is highly recomeded a great location to explore with loads of history there are two local pubs the Crown on your door step and one further diwn the road that both do great food and were dog friendly and made us feel welcome. Thank you so much for the wine and fudge and a great hoilday.

Excellent cottage, our second time there this year and will be back again soon. Excellent location close to a few towns a short drive away. Some nice walks if youre visiting with a dog. Hot tub lovely cottage clean and well kept.

Lovely little cottage. great location. warm welcoming local pub. BnB next door which we have tried to find on line but unfortunately not been able to. Looks like the owners also have a further 2 properties in their portfolio. would make an ideal location for a coupled group looking for a nice relaxing space where they can have a lovely get away yet their on private space. Could do with a few more kitchen utensils eg tong, turner, carving fork

Michael

It was everything we wanted,lovely

A beautiful cottage very well appointed and comfortable. Location is perfect for a relaxing break and perfectly situated to explore the surrounding areas. Definitely a wee gem.

The location itself was great for a lot of our favourite hikes in yorkshire, the local pub do delicious desserts everything is easily commutable! Hot tub was the perfect size for two people would be great with the cover in winter. The cottage itself had a really cosy vibe! Only note we have is alot of things need a little update like all the crockery, utensils, outdoor furniture etc maybe a welcome pack would be helpful too, this is the only place we have stayed over the last 5 years that didnt supply a welcome pack with info Would recommend for anyone who doesnt like to be too isolated when in the country as based on a busy estate. Nice change, we really enjoyed our stay

Wow what can I say had a fabulous stay so chilled and relaxing loved the cottage. Everything you needed hot tub just made it too. Would definitely recommend to all will also be back for another visit soon.

A beautiful, tastefully decorated cottage with a lovely kitchen. It's a bit strange having an open toilet and bath in the bedroom but manageable thanks to the outside toilet and shower. Some maintenance issues, particularly with the outside furnishings. The outdoor loungers are in a dangerous condition. The outdoor space is great for dogs but a piece of flat rubber or wood on the bottom of the gates would make it even safer for small dogs. The bed was really comfy but it could do with new pillows. Thank you to the owners for the wine and chocolates. Overall a pleasant stay.

Beverley

Dove Cote cottage is perfect in every way. Absolutely lovely. Everything you could want, need with extra touches. The hot tub is great after a day out. The village is perfect and a great pub 2 mins away. Riverside walk 5 mins away. Location to exploring the areas around Yorkshire is perfect too.

Lovely cosy cottage with everything you need. Dave was very reactive to a minor electrical problem and dealt with the issue immediately. Everything was spotless and clean and the hot tub was a lovely addition. The bottle of wine and fudge was a thoughtful welcome gift. The local pub serves lovely pub food and is a short walk away and the locals are very welcoming. A little village shop is across the way with everything you need for your stay. Lovely country and riverside dog walks all 5 minutes away. You won't be disappointed

Sandra

Unique property with all you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Very friendly owners and great pub, the crown, on the doorstep. Our dog loved the river walks too!

Desmond

Lovely and quiet. Excellent Sunday dinner in the pub next door. Very warm and cosy. Excellent Indian takeaway in Richmond that delivered! The only thing that was needed was maybe a book with how to work things. Especially the underfloor heating! I would highly recommend.

This is a fabulous quirky property, which felt so homely, spacious & comfortable. The bedding & towels smelt lovely, thank you. The hot tub was what really sold it to us & didnt disappoint, the tv was a great addition. We would recommend this property, only 3 miles from Richmond, which has a lovely theatre, nice shops.

Beverley
