The Dovecote Inn

What a wonderful place. Very peaceful out in the country. Very clean accommodation. Lovely comfortable bed and pillows. Wonderful continental breakfast, with a great selection of cereals, fruit, yoghurt, sourdough, flapjacks, jam, butter, ground coffee etc. if the weather is good, you can sit outside. The pub is lovely and cosy, had a meal there on one evening, had the pie which was devine. The pub is currently only serving floor on a wed through to the weekend, but there is a village a few miles down the road where there is a Tesco, Asda and takeaways. My only very small criticism is that they could do with a small light on the desk so you can do your makeup, as it's a tad dark. There is a great mirror and light in the bathroom, but nowhere to put the make up, so it was a catch 22, sit at the dressing table with all my makeup or put it in the sink in the bathroom to have good light. 😂😂😂

A long drive down south from Edinburgh! we had worked in Nottinghamshire earlier in our career so it was poignant returning to the county. Such a warm welcome! The accommodation "across the way" is brilliant: warm; lovely bed; shower and continental breakfast in the room which suited us. Really grateful for the excellent touch of cafetiere in the room. We loved eating in the pub and enjoyed the cask ales around a lovely fire on a filthy night. It must be very hard in the hospitality business at present. We loved our stay and the experience. We also felt it was tremendous value for money. Well done to the teams of staff at The Dovecote Inn. Let's support such a business which displays excellent customer care - in itself, very difficult to achieve.

We had a fantastic meal at the Dovecote Inn, Laxton. The place has been tastefully decorated and is very welcoming. The menu is interesting and the chef first class. We highly recommend this lovely pub in the centre of a historic village.
