Dovecliff Hall Hotel

Arrived with friends celebrating a 60th birthday. We were greeted by Emily who was an absolute star she made our visit perfect she couldn’t do enough for us even taking our photos. The food was amazing the drink flowed nicely too overall a fabulous night what more could you ask for

Despite 2 of our party not turning up they were not fazed and provided us with a superb lunch with exceptional food and service. The table in the dining area had a lovely view over their well kept grounds. The fish main courses were cooked perfectly as were the accompanying veg and sauces. The food there is very good value for money

From arrival to departure, this was a top class stay in an exceptional hotel. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly and we felt immediately comfortable. We had dinner both nights of our short stay and enjoyed both meals enormously. The room we had, with a river view, was large, comfortable and very tastefully appointed. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom well appointed. What made the visit so special was the friendliness and care from all of the staff.

I organised a surprise 80th birthday for my Mum and held it in the drawing room at Dovecliff Hall Hotel. Nothing was too much trouble from the start, a couple of members of our family have allergen requirements and these were dealt with swiftly. The food was excellent!! Decent size portions and very flavoursome, and all of the staff were very attentive and extremely helpful. Would recommend to anyone thinking of holding a party or just going for lunch.

Wonderful stay.could not fault anything.All six of us commented on what a lovely break.Garden facing bedrooms with bath,shower ,comfy bed.The evening meal was excellent.We booked a DBB deal which was value for money.The bar is very small,only seating twelve people so if Hotel full needs another overspill area to sit. The staff were all attentive,helpful and spoke well of the Hotel.Breakfast did not disappoint,full English or Continental,hot and tasty.Check that no wedding on as it would be very busy,although they may not take other bookings.From initial booking to checking out,regular welcome updates.The Hotel is old and certainly quaint,but adds to the ambiance.Everywhere was clean and had a feel of a country house.One of the best Hotels we have stayed in.

After spending two nights at this hotel I can well understand why Dovecliff has won the Travellers’ Choice award for this year. The bedrooms are extremely comfortable and our upgraded room was very large and elegant with wonderful views over the gardens. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly. The food was wonderful, tasty and well presented at both dinner and breakfast. The only improvement I can suggest is installing a lift as the main staircase is very large if carrying luggage or if you had walking difficulties (although I believe there are some ground floor rooms). Already thinking of excuses to stay there again!
