Thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Beautifully renovated old building - small yet perfect for the two of us, including kitchen facilities! Thoughtful touches including goodies and essentials left for us, and great information about the area. Wood burning stove was a real treat!

Location was more remote than we expected - but beautiful, quiet village.

A cosy base from which to explore

The clever conversion was cosy and comfortable. I was sad that it was warm and I had no opportunity to light the wood burner. I may go back in colder weather just to hunker down and be cosy. Everything you need is there including some supplies in the fridge. The quiet location was ideal for exploring the area.

Hidden Gem !

Our stay at The Dovecote was perfect. The location is quiet and peaceful yet fairly near to Saffron Walden and Cambridge. The Dovecote is clean and comfortable and has a great shower. Good place for a couple to stay. Parking is just outside the front of the building. We very much enjoyed our 2 night stay here!

bloody amazing.

it looked stunning and exactly like the photos. we loved it. small enough to be cute and comfortable, but big enough to have space. amazing find.

little bit cut off, no phone signal so heavily reliant on Wi-Fi so when that went down briefly we were cut off. can’t really be helped though so not really a downer.

Beautifully converted old farm building offers a welcoming and comfortable rural retreat

The Dovecote is an excellently renovated property set in an agricultural, rural location. The interior has been completed to a very high standard. The woodburner was a welcome feature: there was snow on the ground with sub-zero temperatures when we visited. The bathroom is lovely, the bedroom is comfortable and the downstairs living area is very welcoming. We'd visit again!

As it's self-catering, the addition of a freezer drawer within the fridge would be beneficial, but there's really not much to say against this property. ('Restaurant' is mentioned in some of the information, but this isn't the case and I suspect just a tick box error somewhere.)

Lovely cosy accommodation, with plenty of attention to detail.

Bottle of bubbles in the fridge nice touch. Amazing bedroom with extremely comfortable bed, amazing shower. Plenty of kindling and logs for fire. Loved the underfloor heating.

Sofa not big enough for a couple to snuggle up.

A beautiful property in a quiet and picturesque location.

The Dovecote is a very unique property. we loved the vaulted roof, the brick floor downstairs and the fixtures and fittings which were all perfect for their surroundings.

There was nothing we didn’t like about the Dovecote.

Lovely, quiet, calm weekend away, would definitely come back.

Great secluded location, very friendly pub (The Bull) in walking distance. Staffron Walden town is only a 15/20 minute drive away. Very clean, well maintained, rustic, cosy property.

A very peaceful hideaway in a lovely part of the countryside

Awesome conversion. Very nicely decorated. Very clean. A lot of literature about the area. A lot of staple food items in the fridge. While I didn't get the chance to use it, the outside seating looked very nice.

Quite hard to find, could do with a signpost from the road. Hairdryer was a little old and underpowered. Otherwise faultless.

The Dovecote is a beautifully restored building. Quiet & peaceful, set in the stunning countryside. The little hamlet of Langley Green is like stepping back in history. We had easy access to walks, historic towns & gardens.

A perfect retreat

We had an absolutely brilliant stay. Mel was so communicative ahead of time and gave us some great pointers on things to to locally. The property itself is just lovely. Every detail is thought of and with the wood burner going it is so cozy. Fantastically well appointed and the most comfortable bed. We will certainly be back and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Nothing at all :)
