We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding.

We are looking forward to welcoming you all back, customers old and new and hope you love the refurbishment as much as we do!

    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.
