The kitchen needs. Proper deep clean. The cooker hood extractor is filthy and stinks of stale grease making the whole downstairs have that awful smell. Floors not clean, stair carpet is filthy at the bottom. Cobwebs etc Towels were marked and like sandpaper . Good location enclosed yard was great. Just needs a real good clean

A beautiful cottage very well appointed and comfortable. Location is perfect for a relaxing break and perfectly situated to explore the surrounding areas. Definitely a wee gem.

Wow what can I say had a fabulous stay so chilled and relaxing loved the cottage. Everything you needed hot tub just made it too. Would definitely recommend to all will also be back for another visit soon.

The location itself was great for a lot of our favourite hikes in yorkshire, the local pub do delicious desserts everything is easily commutable! Hot tub was the perfect size for two people would be great with the cover in winter. The cottage itself had a really cosy vibe! Only note we have is alot of things need a little update like all the crockery, utensils, outdoor furniture etc maybe a welcome pack would be helpful too, this is the only place we have stayed over the last 5 years that didnt supply a welcome pack with info Would recommend for anyone who doesnt like to be too isolated when in the country as based on a busy estate. Nice change, we really enjoyed our stay

A beautiful, tastefully decorated cottage with a lovely kitchen. It's a bit strange having an open toilet and bath in the bedroom but manageable thanks to the outside toilet and shower. Some maintenance issues, particularly with the outside furnishings. The outdoor loungers are in a dangerous condition. The outdoor space is great for dogs but a piece of flat rubber or wood on the bottom of the gates would make it even safer for small dogs. The bed was really comfy but it could do with new pillows. Thank you to the owners for the wine and chocolates. Overall a pleasant stay.

Beverley

Dove Cote cottage is perfect in every way. Absolutely lovely. Everything you could want, need with extra touches. The hot tub is great after a day out. The village is perfect and a great pub 2 mins away. Riverside walk 5 mins away. Location to exploring the areas around Yorkshire is perfect too.

Lovely cosy cottage with everything you need. Dave was very reactive to a minor electrical problem and dealt with the issue immediately. Everything was spotless and clean and the hot tub was a lovely addition. The bottle of wine and fudge was a thoughtful welcome gift. The local pub serves lovely pub food and is a short walk away and the locals are very welcoming. A little village shop is across the way with everything you need for your stay. Lovely country and riverside dog walks all 5 minutes away. You won't be disappointed

Sandra

Unique property with all you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Very friendly owners and great pub, the crown, on the doorstep. Our dog loved the river walks too!

Excellent and beautiful cottage. Everything you needed with added bonus of fudge and wine on arrival. Such a gem! We will definitely be booking again.

Gillian

We had a great stay at the cottage. Very nice bottle of wine and fudge left for us. Cottage very warm and cosy and had everything we needed . Hot tub great with outside shower room. Good location to get out and about to see the wonderful countryside. Thank you Gill & Warren

Philip

Very friendly host,everything went really well. Lovely area to have a break.

Stephen

Beautiful cottage in a great location, owners have thought of everything for a fabulous stay, pub and shop on you're doorstep with smashing food and welcome, lovely walks nearby. Been to loads of cottages and this one is the best, owners don't bother you unless you need them. Will definitely be back to dove cote. Thank you

Desmond

Lovely and quiet. Excellent Sunday dinner in the pub next door. Very warm and cosy. Excellent Indian takeaway in Richmond that delivered! The only thing that was needed was maybe a book with how to work things. Especially the underfloor heating! I would highly recommend.

This is a fabulous quirky property, which felt so homely, spacious & comfortable. The bedding & towels smelt lovely, thank you. The hot tub was what really sold it to us & didnt disappoint, the tv was a great addition. We would recommend this property, only 3 miles from Richmond, which has a lovely theatre, nice shops.

Beverley

Beautiful cottage with everything you need. I would highly recommend to all. Lots of places to visit nearby. Lovely welcoming pub 2 mins walk and shop over the road. Just perfect.

Allison

Well what a little gem only downside for us was the bed not very comfortable apart from this couldnt fault it

Excellent, everything has been thought about and provided. The hot tub was fabulous

Deborah

We loved the cottage! It was really clean and comfortable with a lovely hot tub and secure area for our dogs. Would definitely come back.

Rebecca

The Dove Cote is a lovely little cottage. It's clean and well kept, and the owners have provided a substantial list of things to do, places to eat and helpful numbers for during your stay. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone and would love to return in the future!

Alison

Perfect cottage. 1010 for everything. Location brilliant for exploring. In the village there is a shop that is well stocked and very friendly, there's 2 pubs one a couple of minutes walk away the other a 10 minute stroll, both friendly with lovely, reasonable priced food. We will definitely book the dove cote again.

Richard

Beautiful place to stay. Close to pub. Only draw back. You need to travel miles for entertainment. Great place to relax and switch off.

We loved our stay at dove cove! So quite,relaxing, very welcoming, clean and tidy, we went to some nice restaurants in richmond too.

Theresa

This cottage is beautiful. Very well equipped & spotlessly clean. The hot tub is glorious. Fran & Dave are such a lovely couple. Nothings too much for them. Everything is just as it should be & more. We loved are stay for the 3rd year running. Will be coming back again

We had a lovely stay at Dove Cote perfect location, accommodation was excellent close to amenities. An ideal spot great gor our dogs all closed In. Hot tub under cover which was nice. Would definitely go back owners were very friendly. Sue and Simon Ward

Lovely cottage, could be better with a few things, tv in bedroomhot tub need replacing as showing age. Need a blind over the bedroom window. Better quality towels would be nice feature.

This cottage is stunning, it has everything you need and want . The owners are very friendly and helpful. Two lovely pubs within walking distance. A great little shop just over the road. We will definitely be coming back.

Melanie

Had a perfect weekend at Dove Cote, the house was lovely and clean. Hot tub was fresh and upto temperature ready for our arrival. Nice little shop opposite for any essentials. Owners were lovely, very quiet and private area. Would highly recommend

What a wonderful, cozy little cottage in a beautiful location. The village itself is very pretty with a local shop just across the road from the cottage and a lovely local pub just down the road. The cottage is clean and well maintained with almost everything you could need the only things we found lacking were some large glasses we like to take large glasses of water to bed with us to drink throughout the night and an indoor shower! It was a little awkward showering in the bathtub! Other than that, the kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need. The bedroom is cozy with a very comfortable bed and plenty of storage. We slept incredibly well during our stay. Dave came and introduced himself to us on arrival and explained a few things before reassuring us that if we needed anything he was only next door. Other than that, we were left to our own devices. There are plenty of places to explore within a reasonable driving distance. We visited Richmond only a few miles away and Whitby, which was well worth the drive. Although we didnt venture there on this visit, we have previously been to Barnard Castle, which is only a few miles away and definitely worth a visit if you havent been before. We came for a weekend away for a quiet, relaxing weekend to get away from the daily grind and thats exactly what we got! The hot tub is great, especially with the outdoor TV to watch whilst chilling out.

We had a lovely weekend break here. The cottage had everything we needed. Hot tub was superb. Enclosed area was good for the dogs. Lots of walks to go on in the area. Visited Richmond castle, the river and the icecream parlour. They were all great to visit. Weather was forecasted to be very wet, on the whole, it was good to us. Hosts were welcoming, and although there was building works going on next door it didn't impact on our weekend break. Thank you for the wine and chocolates.

Sharon

A great experience from start to finish. Every finer detail was thought about to make your stay a home from home visit. I would definitely recommend this place.

The cottage was lovely and was just as outlined on the listing. Great location in the village and a perfect spot to go off exploring both by foot or in the car. It was our first holiday with our dog and the fact that she had the secure outside space to go into as well was great. The hot tub was a perfect addition thoroughly recommend it! What a perfect way to relax at the end of a day of walking!

Matthew

First impression building work & builder overlooked back yard. Went for peace & quiet & private holiday kind of restricted times to use hot tub & think advert should state this. On this point was a couple of days not there & if your out until evening won't be a problem. Property is clean and comfortable but did get a shock sitting on right side of settee sank right down in it. Bbq outside seen better days. Decent base for setting out from good walks for Dogs warm property & just about right space for 2 people.

Claire

What a delightful break in an amazing cottage. Not only have we enjoyed the local walks along the river with our dogs but visited some lovely local market towns with very friendly folk. The cottage was wonderful and homely and the dogs loved the outside space with the bonus of a hot tub for us

We have just stayed in Dove Core for a week, the cottage is spacious comfortable and clean. The hot tub and the tv outside is luxurious and something we made use of after a long day exploring. The cottage is in a friendly village with a shop and pub within in walking distance. The cottage is well positioned to explore the Yorkshire Sales staring with the town of Richmond. The village has wonderful walks beside the river which our dog loved, the garden is enclosed and safe for the dog which was reassuring. The owners are friendly and helpful when needed . Overall a very love!y cottage we would recommend. One note currently there is building work next door, the builder is very aware turning off his music off, it wasn't a problem for us but some people might not appreciate it.

Loved our stay at Dove Cote. Great base to explore the Dales. Easy access to the A1 for exploring further afield. Beamish Museum was well worth the drive north. Dave was friendly, gave us a tour of the property on arrival and quickly dealt with an issue with the shower. Enjoyed the hot tub every day. Well equipped kitchen and bed was comfy.
