Dove Cote Lodge

Liked Small, quiet and relaxing site
Tourist leaflets available
Washing up area with warm water and washing up liquid
Short walk outside nearest town
Very friendly and informative messages before visiting

Disliked I drove past the entrance the first time as the sign was so easily missed.

Some parts of the site look run down and uncared for - but perhaps they're your neighbours?

From the manager: It’s great to hear you enjoyed the quiet, relaxing atmosphere, the warm washing‑up area, the short walk into town and the information we send before arrival. I really appreciate you mentioning those.

Thank you also for your helpful feedback. We are looking into an easier to spot entrance sign.

You’re absolutely right about shared facilities too — they’re always as clean as the last guest leaves them, though I do check them regularly.

I’m really pleased you had a lovely stay overall. Thank you again for your kind words, and you’re very welcome back any time.

Liked Its a small site, only 5 pitches.
Facilities close to the pitch and clean.
Hosts very friendly.
Has washing up facilities with a fridge and freezer.
Water tap on field.
No issues with phone signal.
Have EHU but didnt use.
Was lovely listening to all the birds around.
Close to Selby and shops.

Disliked No fault of the site but close to a main road and train line so can hear traffic and trains honking all hours (although does die down overnight) so wouldn't class as fully peaceful.
Shared the site with others who all knew each other so they sat around the fire bit and bbq meaning we were unable to use it without intruding. They were also very noisy till the early hours.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re glad you found the facilities clean and well kept. Noise levels here can vary depending on wind direction, and while we’re near a road and a distant train line, trains don’t usually run overnight and most guests describe the site as peaceful.

We’re sorry your stay coincided with a particularly lively group — this isn’t typical of the site, and we do ask all guests to follow quiet hours so everyone can enjoy a relaxing stay.

We appreciate your comments and hope the rest of your trip was enjoyable.

Liked Flat pitch, we had some shade setting up on a scorching hot day. The field is a lovely size and enclosed. Plenty of space between campers. Fridge onsite which was very handy and the toilet/showers were very clean.

Disliked Nothing.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review — we’re really glad you enjoyed the small, quiet setting and the facilities during your stay.

You’re right that we’re near a main road and a distant railway line, and how noticeable they are can vary depending on wind direction. Most guests still find the site peaceful overall, but we really appreciate you mentioning it so others know what to expect.

Thanks again for your kind feedback, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Liked This was my 1st trip in my van. Dove Cote is a nice site in the countryside and was quiet. With only half a dozen pitches the site has a welcoming feel. The toilets and showers are adequate and well looked after by the owners. The owners are rightly very proud of their little site and it was nice to meet Liz to tell her how good my stay was. Will definitely return soon to this beautiful little site. Some Decent pub grub within short travelling distance by car at the Black Dog Inn at Camblesforth Selby.

We’re delighted you plan to return and thank you for the recommendation for the Black Dog Inn — always nice to have local tips. Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Liked Such a beautiful quiet area with power outlets, clean bathrooms and shower.
Didnt smell strongly of manure or have loud farm animals waking you early morning. The managers of the site were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely come again.
