What a fantastic place to relax and chill out so easy going, so peaceful. P.Connor

Dovecote Cottage truly is a little gem in The Wye Valley. Young and Old enjoyed its cosy warmth, perfect nooks and crannies for playing hide and seek, proximity to beautiful walks and general peace and quiet. The suggested walk alongside Offa's Dyke took a couple of hours with the two eldest of the four children and upon our return it was a true joy to warm up our fingers and toes whilst looking over the frosty hillside from the warmth of the living room.
Karin and family New Year

We had a very pleasurable stay. The website is very informative and the cottage itself is very warm with stone walls. Absolutely loved it. Tushar and family
