    We had a wonderful afternoon tea in the very newly refurbed Dovecote. Decor is lovely. Superb service from Caitlin who coped very ably with all the specific requests around dietary requirements. As always the offerings were divine, love the French vanilla tea. Never disappoints, consistently great

    My wife and I stayed at the hotel and we had a 3 course meal on the Saturday evening and a 3 course Sunday lunch the following day in the Dovecote restaurant and they were both exceptional. We had a wonderful dinning experience and the staff were superb. It wasn’t cheap to eat at the Dovecote but you are paying for the quality and experience so if you fancy a treat i would highly recommend.
