Service with a smile was second to none and friendly. We stayed in Dovecote for a week, cottage is basic but does everything you need it to do on a fishing holiday, there is sky tv in the cottage as well. Plenty of fish where had. Bivvied up on the final few nights and used the cottage as a base for showers etc. We are already planning our next visit.Posted on Laura MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
