Whether you are dreaming of a tranquil escape, thinking of a fun-filled family getaway or attending a local event, Dovehouse Farm is the perfect base, and a cozy private haven in North Warwickshire. Our charming 16th Century property and cottages, set around a secure gated private courtyard, have been lovingly restored to present really comfortable accommodation including all usual modern amenities. From picturesque landscapes, beautiful walking and great cycling routes, to awesome attractions and a vibrant local town, everything you might want is within easy reach. Whilst our cottages are principally self-catering, we do also retain household staff who can cater meals if needed, upon adequate notice. We are also able to arrange various customised visiting services in the comfort of your cottage, including professional massage therapy and beauty treatments. We grow a variety of organic fruit and vegetables in our walled kitchen garden, with its decking area being a great place for a private barbeque, or simply an extremely tranquil spot to just relax. For those with children, there is also a barked play area, including swings, climbing frame and a slide.
I love welcoming people to our amazing 16th Century property, as they are typically astounded by its beauty and character. My wife and I have travelled a great deal, for business and pleasure, so we understand what is important in making your stay in our cottages just perfect. We maintain a household staff and so there is always someone around to help, whether that be for something within your cottage, recommendations on local hostelry, or simply for directions.
Our beautiful 16th Century property and cottages offer privacy and seclusion when desired, yet are also ideally placed for exploring the beauty of North Warwickshire and the many attractions of the West Midlands. Warwick, Stratford, Coventry and Birmingham are all within very easy reach, as is the National Exhibition Centre (NEC). Our cottages are an ideal base from which to visit attractions like Drayton Manor theme park, Warwick Castle, West Midlands Safari Park, Dudley Zoo & Castle, the Birmingham Science Museum, the National Motorcycle Museum, Kenilworth Castle, the Birmingham Sea-life Centre, the Birmingham Legoland Discovery Centre, Twycross Zoo and the birthplace of Shakespeare. You might otherwise just want to unwind and explore the North Warwickshire countryside, with a peaceful stroll along the renowned Heart of England Way, which passes adjacent to the property. From picturesque landscapes, beautiful walking and great cycling routes, to awesome local attractions and a vibrant local town, everything you might want is within easy reach. Experience the charm of a rural period cottage, take the time to just be together, or use as a beautiful base from which to explore.
