About this property
Snaith 3.8 miles. Nestled in the quaint village of Hensall in North Yorkshire is Dovecote Farm House. This charming property makes for a spectacular holiday setting thanks to its contemporary interior that has been seamlessly blended with original features such as exposed stone walls, exposed beams, woodburning stoves and feature fireplaces. After exploring the surrounding countryside, cross the threshold into the spacious entrance hall and kick off your muddy boots before heading into the fully-equipped kitchen to prepare a hearty meal. Enjoy this together with a group at the dining table before stepping outside to soak up the last of the sun with a glass of wine in hand; on colder evenings snuggle up in front of the warming woodburning stove and flick on the TV. Later, climb the stairs to wash off the day in the bathroom before retiring to one of four bedrooms; choose from a king-size with en-suite cloakroom, two doubles or a twin. Adjacent to the property is the owners restaurant, the very popular LA Anchor Bar and Restaurant, a stylish setting with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, serving Italian cuisine by Italian chefs, booking is recommended!

I have to admit there is nothing around too do unless pubs if your thing, be prepared to travel to something else. The owner lives up the road, he was around to help if you required it. He asked how our stay was going, there were a problem with ants, he came around with traps for them so was prompt.

Plenty of room for 8 adults with a lovely garden to sit in and enjoy the sunny weather. The house is enclosed and private. The owner, Nick, was there to greet us and showed us around the house. He also owns La Anchor, a restaurant across the road.It serves large portions of tasty Italian food and is well worth a visit. A great stay in Hensall at the Dovecote Farmhouse. Thank you Nick.

The garden was smaller than appeared in the photo but with 2 handy play areas in the village the children were well catered for.
