Tranquil retreat with hot tub

Perfect location (we went to an event at Silverstone). Really private and peaceful, everything we needed was provided, place was very clean, bed was super comfy, shower was powerful and clean, kitchen was spot on and hot tub was great. Definitely would recommend!

Everything was as described. A lovely, modern chalet in a beautiful little village with a couple of pubs/restaurants within a two minute stroll, where you can watch the narrowboats negotiate a couple of locks. Perfect for our two night stay. We visited during the heatwave at the end of May and John had kindly had the forethought to leave a large fan in the chalet for us - much needed & appreciated. Would definitely recommend.

A really lovely stay, close to some wonderful pubs and walks. John is so informative and made sure we were comfortable at all times. 😊

The Dovecote is a lovely, cosy place to stay with lots of scenic walks and nice pubs. Everything you need is in walking distance or a short drive away. John has been a very friendly and responsive host, going above and beyond with kind recommendations about the area. The space we had was cozy and clean and it was a peaceful nights sleep. I would definitely revisit!

Lovely little place, great location. Beautiful village. 
Everything you want from a host too.

Lovely place to stay, 5 minutes from the canal and pubs. Home clean and tidy and hot tub was great.

A lovely place to stay, nice decorated and a super comfy bed. A well stocked kitchen which had everything you need. The shower was good too. A nice light and airy feel to the place. Enjoyed the hot tub too.

Both the pubs are very close and serve nice food with a good atmosphere. Also some nice local walks you can go on. Definitely worth a visit

great stay hot tub was a fantastic addition lots of local walks, pubs and food locations kitchen was fully stocked for anything you would need to cook with 5 stars all round great weekend get away with a partner :)

Me and an old uni friend meet once a year and book out an Airbnb to catch up. This place was perfect for our weekend away! Everything was very clean and as described and we enjoyed the jacuzzi! We enjoyed the local pub opposite where the locals were very friendly. Thank you for a lovely stay :)

The Dovecote was a great place to stay, the village was peaceful and we got lots of use out of the hot-tub. 2 pubs very close by and the canal through the village was a lovely bit of scenery. We really enjoyed our stay and John was prompt to return messages and had a binder inside the property full of things to do and other items such as instructions for the hot-tub. We’d happily stay in one of John’s AirBnBs again !

Really loved our stay here to celebrate our anniversary, very comfy bed, private hot tub ready to go and a cosy sofa too with lovely restaurants nearby and larger towns within a short drive. We hope to visit again soon!

We had a lovely stay and will be back to stay again.

Great place for the 2 nights we stayed, hot tub was a great addition. Would stay again if in the area.

Lovely Air BnB in a very peaceful yet beautiful area. Would happily stay again. Thank you John!

Great place to stay and  the hot tub is a good bonus. would definitely stay again and being close to restaurants is great. Would 100% recommend.

Such a lovely get away, even if it was cold and icy weather but didn’t stop us using the hot tub. Great host.

Great place. Hot tub was great first night. Was cold second though

The property was lovely and pristine. Unfortunately a bit too cold to make use of the hot tub. The surrounding area was great with some nice walks nearby and two pubs within walking distance which both did great food.

Stayed here for Christmas and had the most relaxing and beautiful Christmas Day. Loved having a hot tub to start and finish the day off with. The location is lovely, a peaceful quiet little village but not too far out of the way. Would 100% recommend to family and friends❤️

Fantastic property! We’ve just got home from a wonderful two night stay. Amazing walks near by, lots to do and would definitely come back. Thank you.

Just stayed here with my boyfriend for a little christmas get away. The place was stunning and so was the area, everything was easily accessible and there’s a little pub just over the road. The place was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed the heated floor was a bonus. Overall we had a great experience and a homely stay would recommend 10/10!

We enjoyed every minute of our stay. We were initially a little concerned that the hot tub area was not fully enclosed, but after using it once, we couldn’t resist going back again. It completely put us at ease. John gave us privacy and allowed us to enjoy the space at our own pace, with clear guides provided for all appliances and facilities. Thoughtful touches such as disposable slippers for the hot tub and provided robes really stood out. The area was peaceful and the overall experience was truly amazing.

Thanks,
Ashley

Great host, very quick to respond and also very happy to go above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay !

Great place to stay , so pretty this time of year with lights too . Very comfortable and hot tub and dressing gowns added touch . Thank you

Amazing hosts, thank you for letting us stay it was so relaxing

very clean, very peaceful around and quite, loved the hot tub

Outstanding! The location is perfect, yards away from a couple amazing pubs and great Indian restaurant and yet was super quiet ! The place was beautiful and tidy and also the hot tub was private and a great touch! We’ll be back!

Lovely place to stay. Great for a couples getaway. Peaceful and John is a great very attentive to our needs

we had a lovely stay, its a great place, well located and the hosts were helpful and always available

Great location for walks along the canal and surrounding countryside. Great private outdoor area for the hot tub and very comfy bed! perhaps a little smaller than we thought from the photos on the listing but had what we needed for a few quiet nights away!

Excellent stay, very relaxing countryside break!

I had such a fantastic experience staying at John's place! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described. The location was perfect — close to pubs, local attractions, yet peaceful and quiet at night.

John was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making check-in smooth and easy. They even provided thoughtful touches like coffee, hot chocolate, which made the stay feel extra special.

I really appreciated the comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen, and cozy atmosphere — it truly felt like a home away from home. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting this place.

Nice relaxing place with plenty to do in the surrounding areas and the house was nice and cosy with good facility’s

John (the host) was very good with queries. He's really responsive. Lovely stay  with a nice walk along the canal.

If you’re looking for a nice little getaway, especially as a little romantic break, I would highly recommend this location. It is one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed at, couldn’t speak hardly enough of the location. The hot tub was great too..

Beautiful little cottage , had everything I needed . The hot tub was a great addition . Host was great too . There are two local pubs with great food . Will definitely be back x

A lovely stay! Quiet, peaceful and a well kept accommodation with all instructions provided proactively. Can’t fault it.

Nice place to stay. We had a meeting in the pub opposite so perfect location. With our busy life it was a very peaceful few days in a place we could relax.

had a lovely stay at the dovecote. beautiful area, we loved the walk by the canal. hot tub was the perfect end to the evening. would recommend!

thank you John we had a wonderful time     very clean     2 great pubs to walk to   cant fault the place      we will return                                                                            we took a small portable folding fence with us to stop our two dogs running of when you open the door as its a shared path

Cozy, comfortable little cottage close to the canal and great country, canal side pubs. John was a very helpful host, indeed. We especially liked the duvet, the Hotel Chocolat velvetier and, of course, the relaxing hot tub. Highly recommended!

Really lovely place to escape busy life!
Really clean and homely and matched all expectations, host was great and was responsive to any questions we had. Would definitely recommend!

We booked Dovecote not knowing the area at all but looking for a peaceful staycation. We were very excited there was a hot tub to relax in and this was clean and accessible. The welcome pack gave useful information about local pubs, menus and the Indian takeaway across the road. The Dovecote was clean. We went on a canal boat ride (£5 adults, £4 children) to see Blisworth Tunnel. We ate from the Indian takeaway and at The Navigation. Both meals were a reasonable price and very tasty.  The area is lovely and was perfect for us and our dog. John was always on hand to message if we needed anything and replied promptly. We have already started recommending this place to friends and family. Thank you.

We had a great stay in this lovely little get away. Peaceful, private, well kept and comfortable. The host has great attention to detail and the place had everything we needed. Great little walks, lovely beer gardens and a gorgeous canal all literally as you step out of the house - and a super relaxing hot tub too. John was super accommodating and flexible. Thanks for a lovely mini break!

We had an amazing stay at the Dovecote! The place was spotless, beautifully styled, and felt like a real treat from the moment we arrived. The amenities were top-notch — we especially loved the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser for cosy nights in, and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after exploring. The location is fantastic, close to everything but still peaceful and relaxing. John was friendly and responsive, which made everything even smoother. Would definitely recommend and hope to return!

We had a fabulous stay at The Dovecote.  It’s in a beautiful location close to the canal and two fab pubs. The hot tub was great. We hope to return.

lovely little place with the added luxury of the hot tub. Restaurants on the doorstep.  nice walks nearby. would definitely recommend.

We didn’t speak much but it was all very simple and well communicated. Stoke Bruerne is a beautiful little town and for a weekend get away to detox it is magical. Thoroughly enjoyed this little cottage and the town it’s in.

Another lovely weekend. John's place is  so central to the canal and the pub. We hardly used the car, we walked lots of canal, took a trip through the Blisworth tunnel and spent lots of time in the hot tub, thanks for coming to clean it so quickly. The pub is central to the community and we ate there twice and used the kitchen twice. The bed is very comfy and thank you so much for providing a fan, definitely needed during this heat wave. Highly recommended for a sneaky weekend away.

We had a lovely, peaceful 2 night stay. The property was clean, the bed was very comfy and the shower had great pressure!! Something that is rare to find these days🤣 The EV charger was also a big plus point. The village is lovely, quiet and the people are very friendly too. It has 2 pubs and an indian restaurant within 2 minutes walking distance of the property, all of which are located on the canal. We would definately recommend eating at the indian restaurant, by far one of the best curry’s we have ever had! We also visited Whipsnade Zoo and the hot tub was lovely to relax in after all the walking. We would definately recommend staying here and John is a really good host. Very responsive and nothing seemed too much trouble! Overall we had a lovely time

Really lovely place to stay. Super quiet and peaceful.

Great place would recommend it to anyone,Everything else was super . Pauline and Rob

I went to Stoke Bruerne to attend a family wedding. what a gem of a find The Dovecote is. 

It had everything a guest could possibly need. A well kitted out kitchen, the most comfortable bed ever and good water pressure in the shower. Not that I needed it in June thankfully, but there's even under floor heating too.

Really impressive accommodation. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.😊

I booked this for my partners birthday and it was the perfect location. The place was very clean and it was a relaxing few days for us both. John was accommodating with quick responses. We did really enjoy our time away but the only downside was that the jets in the hot tub wasn’t working but John did communicate this with us before we arrived at the property. Would definitely recommend/ return back.

The dovecote was such a good stay and the dog walks around are really good

This place absolutely matches the photo and description. Had peaceful and calm stay. I strongly recommend it.

Fantastic place for couples wanting a relaxing few days away.  John was very helpful and friendly from beginning to end. property was clean tidy with little added extras which was unexpected.  Loved trying out the Velvetiser and the Hot Tub was a brilliant added extra 
Definitely worth the money and can't wait to book again

Had a wonderful stay. it was an incredibly serene place and the perfect getaway for my girlfriend and I.

Johns place is a bijou gem. The village is lovely and it was perfect for where I need to be. The hot tub was fabulous. I’d highly recommend it.

We have a lovely stay at Dovecote cottage. The walks around the beautiful surrounding  and relaxing evenings in the hot tub made special memories for my partners birthday. Would definitely recommend a stop by the boat inn , the navigation and Truva lounge restaurant (10 min drive) during your visit. Thank you for having us !

John is a very responsive host. We had a great couple of nights away. Location is great, nice and peaceful. Very relaxing. The property was perfect for a short break away.

Had a lovely stay with beautiful places to visit

I booked The Dovecote as a treat for my son and his girlfriend. He described the place as "unreal" - which is the highest complement available! A truly beautiful place and surroundings, with a delightful and very helpful host - thank you John!

Was a lovely little place to stay in, perfect for a couple. We visited both the near by pubs and they were lovely as well, the food was good. Also had the Indian across the road which was equally as nice. Would recommend this to anyone looking for an out of the way place with walkable places nearby. It was clean and tidy and very cozy. Will be looking again in the future :)

Dovecote is an absolutely beautiful place with everything you could possibly need, John was very responsive and nothing seemed any trouble to him, we chose an early arrival and a slightly later checkout and that was all agreeable, easy walking distance to the Boat inn and restaurant who are extremely friendly with views over the canal, we will definitely stay again in the future, Steve & Sue

There was nothing not to like about here.  Everything you need for a break & the hot tub was amazing. John was quick to come back to me when needed.
The bed was very comfy & lovely linen, nice touch to have slippers, gowns & extra towels for outside.
We were able to take the dogs, lots of lovely walks and dog friendly pubs.  Although we knew the living & dining area was open plan, we hadn't really realised that the bedroom was too. This meant we had to pile up our cases to stop the dogs coming in at night. We don't allow dogs on the beds at home, but they would take a chance if they could!  
The private yard is secure, but not directly accessible from the front door. This meant I had to pop on their leads to take them out.  In the summer, I would have been unable to leave the door open to the yard. Again, not a major problem, but this is useful info.
Location is lovely, good Indian takeaway, The Boat Inn supplies groceries. The Navigation great for riverside drinks but awful Sun roast

Really enjoyed our stay! The property was so cosy and John and his wife were very welcoming and super responsive. Would definitely come back again, worth every penny, thank you so much ☺️

this place was perfect for us to get away and disconnect with the real world for a little bit. the weather was pants but we made the most of it and still went in the hot tub... cracking little place xx

Was a lovely clean little house to stay in would definitely go back again. Lovely pub called the navigation

We stayed at the dovecote for our anniversary and it was absolutely perfect, exactly what we were looking for. It was a great location, the cottage was super cozy, and the hot tub was a great bonus in the evenings. 
The host, John, was lovely and always easy to reach. Can’t recommend this place enough!

John was very helpful from the start. We arrived early and he accommodated for us to check in early. The cottage was just as described and was simply stunning and clean. John was extremely responsive to messages and I couldn’t recommend this place any more highly!

Fantastic place, the hot tub is absolutely amazing. Great host, very lovely and clean.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The hottub was a great feature. Felt very private and cosy. The floor heating was another great feature.

superbly located retreat with everything you could need from private hot tub to chill or walks along the canal side. would highly recommend

Great place in a lovely area, peaceful and relaxing. Cottage was warm and cosy. Would highly recommend

Great little cottage everything needed was there and the area around was lovely. Everything was easy and simple inside the stay and around the village. Really enjoyed 

Thanks

Lovely accommodation. Clean and decorated to a high standard. It was a bit of a squeeze in the bedroom with a travelcot but not a problem when only staying for a few days. Hot tub was great. Two pubs within a two minute walk.

Just returned from a great stay. Was spotlessly clean and just as described

Fab place and location. Highly recommended

Really enjoyed it, loved the place. Beautiful and peaceful and having the hot tub is just an added bonus. 
Perfect for a quick getaway

Stayed at the dovecote for my girlfriend’s birthday, we liked the location as it’s close to a large shopping centre in Milton Keynes and Whipsnade zoo. The place is very cosy and nicely equipped. Best part was definitely the hot tub. Despite the storm we still enjoyed and relaxed in the evening. Would stay again

Me and my partner loved staying here for our anniversary. Absolutely lovely place to stay so peaceful and tranquil. Exactly like the photos and John is a great host.

Lovely cottage in a great area. Very easy to check in, wished the weather had been better so we could have explored and used the hot tub!

This place is a hidden Gem! 

Really good pubs locally, plenty of walking along the canal path and the hot tub in -3 temps is a must! 😄 

John has a fantastic info pack choc full of local info, accomodation info and local points of interest.

Great communication with the host and loved the property! cannot rave about this place enough!

A lovely place to stay, exactly what we wanted. The hot tub was a highlight. Thank you for a perfect weekend to celebrate a birthday.

Great place, John looked after us. Big fan of the hottub!

We had a lovely time in the cottage. It was a lovely area and would definitely go back.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage!
Everything we needed, a truly relaxing break for us!

Gorgeous little place! Hot tub was amazing! Close to two great pubs and the canal. No shop so take everything you need like extra milk, drinks and snacks.

Lovely weekend break, hot tub was amazing, the best we have used in an Airbnb.  Bed was super comfy. The local pub was excellent and very close. We were lucky with the weather and had lovely walks along the canal.

We had a great few days away here. Everything was as described and presented lovely. Lots of local places to either have breakfast at, grab an afternoon treat and have dinner without having to go out in the car, great if you fancy a drink or two. The hot tub was the icing on the cake, sitting out in the evening with a clear sky was amazing! Thanks for a great stay!

I had an amazing stay at John's cabin! From the moment I booked, John's proactive communication and quick response time really stood out, making the whole experience stress-free. The cabin itself was cosy, peaceful, and the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of having manual booklets for all the appliances—such a helpful detail that made everything easy to use. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I felt right at home. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway!

Gorgeous location for pubs and the canal thoroughly enjoyed our stay thankyou
