Shop, pubs and restaurants 1 mile.
Free WiFi
The laundry facilities are shared.
The water is from a spring, well or borehole, and not a mains supply.
A delightful cottage in a beautiful setting. It felt very homely and is well equipped. Ideal location to explore the surrounding area.

The Dovecote is a very cozy and well equipped cottage with lots of good walking routes for our two golden retrievers which were warmly welcomed. Harrogate is only a 15 minute drive away and it offers easy access to the Yorkshire Dales. There are a number of excellent dog friendly pubs close by also offering excellent food.

Lovely location, Dovecote is nicely presented.
Lovely location, Dovecote is nicely presented. Very warm and cosy. We were 4 adult staying there. The settee is very comfortable however the 2 chairs were not as comfy. All the amenities required for a stay at Dovecote are there. Lovely welcome pack and a special welcome from Sir James too.

My wife and I really loved our long weekend break at the Dovecote. The cottage was warm and cozy and the welcome hamper was a nice touch. It is very quiet and away from the bustle of modern living. We are planning to return early next year.

What a lovely find !!! In the grounds of Birstwith Hall gorgeous little cottage everything you could want for a stay in this wonderful area. Beds were comfy. Kitchen well stocked and the lovely present of eggs, bread, a lovely cake and milk. The bottle of Prosecco was a nice touch too. Flowers in vases just lovely old world charm. Would definitely recommend staying here if you want a quiet place to stay yet not far from all Yorkshire has to offer.

Well appointed, clean and quiet, this cottage is in a lovely albeit isolated position but not too far from a small village. The owner visited us personally even though we were there for only 3 days, and provided an excellent welcome pack of local produce. There’s even a local cat to fuss if you’re a cat lover like us!
