Positive: Staff were amazing
Food and drink choice was great
Very quaint and unexpected room, extremely quiet with good surrounding views and great location
Negative: I can't say that I didn't like it, just a couple of little points.
1. Somebody had left 'a present ' in this downstairs toilet which smelt like it had been there for a day or two, which wasn't a nice start
2. The mattresses could do with a replacement, they're pretty hard and quite noisy,
Summary: Quaint and quiet

Lovely cosy rooms in the perfect location to explore the village. Upstairs, just above the info centre! Very clean and tidy.
Negative:
Breakfast is continental (ie sitting in room when you arrive)…not for those who enjoy a great English pub breakfast! Pillows a bit thin. And be aware that no food is served on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday evenings. Not ideal.
Summary: Lovely cosy rooms in a beautiful village, but….

Jess and her team were very passionate about providing the best possible experience for their visitors. We were made to feel very welcome. The historic nature of the Laxton village was fascinating and Jess helped us discover the background to unique traditional "Open Field" faming in the area. There was a good selection of options in the provided continental breakfast, and we also enjoyed a tasty dinner in Inn's dining room.
Negative:
All good. Nothing that comes to mind.
Summary: A delightful stay at Dovestays
