Why they chose this property

We loved living in Doves Barn, but when the children left home the property was far too big for us. It dates back to the 16th Century and has amazing authentic features and a magical atmosphere where you will feel immediately relaxed as you enter.

The property is semi rural with open spaces, countryside and beautiful views. Doves Barn is a very spacious property, so although we have up to 22 guests staying everyone has plenty of room to spend a quiet moment or join the party.
We would recommend this property for all your special occasions from family celebrations, birthdays, Hen Parties, rural retreats (bird watching) or simply spend time at Doves Barn to relax and unwind. Please see Trip Advisor for all our great reviews from our valued guests.
