We have just returned from our second visit to Dovecot House, the first being about 2 years ago. Maggie (the proprieter) still maintains the excellent standards previously found and is as warm and friendly as ever. This visit was to have been made a year ago but was cancelled due to the bad winter and Maggie had kept us informed... More

Our Scottish breakfasts were delicious and the cosy garden room was ideal - with the birds and a pet rabbit to entertain us! Our son and his partner thought their double en-suite... More

I absolutely loved my week that I stayed here. Maggie could not be more accommodating and welcoming and helpful. It was just a short bus trip to the city itself and there was a couple of good places to eat not far away... A must stay!! More

The Best B&B anyone could ask for. Top service, bed so comfortable and room large, light and airy. Good location for catching the bus into the city. Maggie went out of her way to assist us. Her cheery, friendly nature is amazing, and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts were so good. More

The location is easy to get into town from and there are lots of amenities within easy walking distance. Breakfast was very good quality and Maggie made slight changes daily to keep it interesting. She was most helpful... More
