3-room inn in the last Medieval village of Laxton
Dining
The Dovecote restaurant serves home-cooked food made with local and seasonal ingredients. Guests can choose from a diverse menu that includes weekend specials, generous portion sizes, and the option to book a table for evening meals. The pub also offers a selection of ales, beers, and fine wines, along with a dog-friendly dining area.
Rooms
The three bedrooms are located in a barn conversion with private entrances, original beams, and garden views. Each room includes a bowl of fresh fruit, a flat-screen TV, and a toaster with fresh bread provided. Bathrooms offer a bathtub or walk-in shower, and rooms have soundproofing and ironing facilities.

Dovestays sits in the historic village of Laxton, the last remaining Medieval village in the UK with an open field system. Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood, is a 15-minute drive away. Nottingham city center can be reached in 45 minutes by car, and the National Holocaust Centre and Museum is nearby.

Each room has a fridge stocked with fresh milk and bottled water, plus a kettle and cafetiere. Free parking is available on-site, and the inn provides daily housekeeping and packed lunches on request.
