“Returning to this older country house, I found the spacious rooms and quiet atmosphere a welcome respite, with a stunning Dovedale location that truly takes your breath away. Evenings were a delight, particularly the well-prepared meals and the engaging service from the restaurant manager, while breakfasts were satisfyingly traditional. The genuine warmth of the staff, despite being clearly stretched, made check-in and check-out feel effortless, reinforcing the relaxed, country-hotel charm.”
