Get together, but have your own quiet and peaceful space to retire to…

Exclusive use booking of the Dovecote Barns accommodates up to 22 guests in 11 luxurious ensuite bedrooms across all 4 five-star barns.

The whole site can be catered for using the huge kitchen in the Grand Barn with group dining for 22 guests around one table in the adjacent Long Hall.

We provide you with all the trappings for a fine-dining experience and will provide you with the details you need to book a private chef to ensure a personalised menu and memorable experience.

You’ll find a games room with pool table, darts and plenty of board games for rainy days and large grass paddock for outdoor games for sunny days!

Our ‘party policy’ means you must take exclusive use of the whole site to avoid any noise disturbance to other guests staying.

Included are 4 welcome baskets (one for each barn) each containing Yorkshire breakfast produce, homemade bread and choice of Prosecco, wine or juices.

Weekend 2 night bookings – check out by 4pm on the Sunday.

About Exclusive Group Bookings

All of our barns can be booked together to create a fantastic and flexible retreat for larger groups.

Across the 11 ensuite bedrooms, 6 are twin/super king rooms, 2 further super king rooms and 3 king rooms.

The Long Hall is used to socialise and dine together as one large group.

There are fairy lights giving the Long Hall that extra special celebratory feel.  You are free to add your own touches to the decor in the Long Hall to make it your own.

You have all the trappings provided to self-cater out of the Grand Barn kitchen, however we can offer a full catering service with local catering partnerships.

The licenced bar in the Long Hall only operates for large event rental for up to 56 guests (contact us). Under normal rental, the bar itself is not accessible and the Long Hall operates on a BYO basis for 22 guests.

Trip Advisor Travellers Choice - Best of the best

What a fabulous property. Our every need and comfort catered for. We stayed here to celebrate my 70th and it was a lovely lovely time with our family. Thank you so much. Such a massive amount of thought has gone into this property, we wanted for nothing. We will definitely be back!

We just wanted to say a big thank you for making our wedding weekend so special! It was flawless from start to finish and we couldn’t have hoped for a more perfect day! All our guests were stunned by the accommodation and the attention to detail was spot on. We wouldn’t have changed one thing from the weekend, so thank you! We’ll be recommending you to everyone!

We all came together for a family wedding and we want to say a HUGE thanks for making our stay so wonderful. The barn and other cottages we had the pleasure of staying in are phenomenal. Amazing quality, such attention to detail, outstanding in every way.

What an absolutely fantastic place. Spotlessly clean and everything you could possibly want and more!! We’ve stayed at lots of venues as a group on weekends away and this will be hard to beat! Would come back here in a heartbeat and will be telling everyone about this gem of a place.

Award winning luxury breaks.
