An old country inn set in a quiet historic village within easy reach of Southwell and Newark. Very welcoming and helpful staff. The room was located across the courtyard away from the main building and was very generously proportioned, well equipped and comfortable. We also dined at the inn that evening and weren't disappointed.

The bathroom was a little small but the walk-in shower was good. The bed was big but a bit on the soft side. Only continental breakfast was on offer (which was pre-prepared the day before) and taken in our room, but there was a fair variety of foods available.

The friendly welcome, the luxurious bathroom and the very comfortable super-sized bed. There was a generous supply and good variety of cereals, breads etc in the continental breakfast basket provided the night before, and it was nice to have a well-stocked fridge with fresh milk, yoghurt and juice.

When we used the toaster it set off the smoke alarm and we had to flap towels under it because we couldn't reach it. We were confused and rather disappointed that although the information folder said that there was a Nespresso machine and coffee pods they were not actually provided and we had to make do with instant coffee.

Clean, extremely comfortable in a lovely picturesque location. Loved the continental breakfast in the room, you had thought of everything! So much choice for breakfast, cereals, bread, toast, pan au chocolates and loads more. Loved the table in the room with all the breakfast items put in the night before. Such a cosy, comfortable and well put together room with quality furnishings. The front of house manager was so friendly and welcoming. We also visited the pub which does very good well kept beer and delicious high quality food. You clearly have a very good staff team that work very hard. Thank you for a lovely stay, love to come back.

Nothing! Everything was perfect!

The Dovecote Inn is one of those places that i don't really want to tell anyone else just how nice it is just in case it gets far too popular & we don't get to stay again! The bedroom looks better than the website photo, which isn't usually the case! The idea of a breakfast tray in the room is perfect, especially with an early start like we had. We had a meal in the restaurant, delicious, all three courses! Hope we get to stay again.

The one & only thing i could think of that i wasn't too keen about was the loose sugar in the canister!

Welcoming staff, lovely quality continental breakfast. Large airy room with novelty of ensuite plus downstairs bathroom (with a bath and shower which is rare) Fabulous location in a historic village. Pub food was excellent, the desserts in particular! We would definitely come back.

Bed wasn't as comfy as we would like and the downstairs bathroom bin hadn't been emptied after the last guests which was not so nice. Was very dusty in places, needs a full going over rather than quick tickle!

It's a beautiful place,with a very old inn. Our rooms were in a separate building-may have been the old stable block or similar. The living/bedroom is a beautiful room,with oak beams,and is wonderfully quite and private. The bathroom downstairs is stunning too,a large room with separate shower,and a beautiful roll top bath. The Dovecot is now on our list of favourite places to stay,and when we're going to Notts'County show,we'll book it again. Exceptional!

Well located to spend time with family living nearby and visit Newark Air and Southwell Cathedral. Staff friendly and helpful, excellent meal in pub which was also good value. The room was spacious with comfy bed and good shower room. Continental breakfast was varied and generous.

The actual outbuilding where the rooms are located is very tired and the lighting in the entrance and communal corridor where there are steps is very dim and potentially risky especially when carrying suitcases etc.

The room was beautifully decorated with a lovely shower room. Comfortable bed and a fridge in the room with complimentary milk, juice and water. The continental breakfast was delicious - more food than we could eat so had a couple pain au chocolate to take with us for lunch! We also had a meal in the evening which was very good. The beautiful village also has a fascinating history.

Had to phone for instructions of how to get to the room. Not a huge problem - just a bit tiring after a long journey.

Perfect stopover Lake District to Essex. All staff were brilliant. Small and perfectly executed menu, food was great. Room was home from home, really cosy, great size and everything you could possibly want..Loved, loved loved the breakfast! This is no ordinary "continental served in your room" really well thought through, ample, fresh and flexible, well done on that. Bar was friendly, well stocked and welcoming. Chuffed to have found the Dovecote. Will be back ! Many thanks all involved in my stay.

What's not to like? Loved it.

Fabulous little village, greeted by owner on arrival and personally shown to our room. Room was lovely, we had a suite and as main bathroom was downstairs they had also included a small toilet room so you didn’t have to go downstairs during the night. We ate in the pub which was excellent and obviously loved by locals too. Breakfast was in your room, continental, which was fine for one night but wouldn’t be our choice for longer stays, although that said everything provided was good.

We couldn’t get the Wi-Fi to work on any of our devices, either in the pub or in our room, didn’t matter for one night though.
