The Dove Cote, a relaxing rural retreat

At the Dove Cote, the emphasis is on quality, privacy and relaxation…Crisp cotton sheets, preparing breakfast in a lovely hand-built kitchen, and relaxing with a cup of tea gazing over the fields towards the medieval castle at Hornby… now that’s what getting away from it all is all about.
​
A relaxing hide-away for two, the Dove Cote offers a blend of comfort, tradition and style.  In times gone by, this listed cottage was used by the resident flock of Doves. These days the Dove Cote sleeps two people in modern and contemporary comfort, and has a cleverly-designed layout with everything that two people could want for a relaxing short break.

The Relaxing Dales Short Break
​

The Dove Cote is a special place where we hope you'll relax and rediscover yourself.  The Dovecote (as the name suggests) used to house a flock of doves which gave us the idea for the theme, which is Relaxation.  If you have ever listened to a flock of doves you'll understand why.  Sit in your own wood-fired hot tub and enjoy the breathtaking sunsets over the woods, whilst sipping a glass of Prosecco. 

​Exclusive use of a Wood-fired hot tub with all Dove Cote bookings!
