Dovestays

A fleeting one night stay as I had a meeting in Mansfield the following day. A lovely welcome from Debbie, shown to my room. Spacious, comfortable, clean and warm. Fabulous bar with a great range of beers, the meal I had was superb. Whitebait with a spicy sauce for starters. I couldn’t decide between the sausages or pork belly so Debbie said the chef/she would decide. The pork was delicious, beautifully cooked and presented. Spiced pear crumble rounded off a meal that i shouldn’t have had however i couldn’t stop! Comfortable bed, an in room continental breakfast with good bread, pastries, fruit etc. This is a great pub serving delicious food and the accommodation was super. For the price I could have stayed in a Premier Inn/Travelodge; no contest. I know where I’m staying next time I’m in the area. Thank you Debbie.

Booked a lunchtime meal. Arrived and stood around waiting for ages, was informed by people drinking at the bar, that a party of 12 had arrived and that there was only one person running the bar and restaurant. Whilst we were waiting other couples were turning up wanting a table only to be informed by the bar drinkers of the situation and the people then deciding to go elsewhere. Long waits for food which when arrived was mediocre.

Just been to the Dovecote inn this afternoon for Lunch. The food was absolutely gorgeous and the owner was very welcoming. For anybody wanting proper home cooked food this pub is a little gem. Thank you for everything today, we will be returning again very shortly.
