The best Sunday dinner we have had in a long time. Freshly prepared, good portions and delicious homemade Yorkshires and stuffing. Service was great and all staff really friendly. Recommend The Dovecote Inn booking advised as popular.

Food was outstanding! We visited the restaurant this evening & the atmosphere was lovely and chilled. The service was top notch the 2 ladies serving were so polite & helpful. Now the food, 1 word WOW! We had 3 courses but wish we could have tried everything on the menu. The food was delicious the seasonal menu was perfect! The flavours paired perfectly together the chefs definitely know what they are doing!! First visit but we shall be back! Thank you x

Such a lovely pub with a very friendly, homely atmosphere. The food is superb and the service is great… The wine selection is excellent and the Timothy Taylor is a great hit with my husband. The village of laxton is very quaint. I would very much recommend this establishment.

This place is lovely; Sam who greeted me was amazing, very knowledgeable and helpful, the room was beautiful and the food excellent!! I will definitely stay again. I’ve added some pictures of the local village from some of the walks I did near by too.

The fish and chips that I had here are the best that I've had this side of Whitby. All the dishes our party had were superbly presented and delicious. Super friendly service as well.

Nice pub with good beer, but food service was slow 🐌 and the food was nothing special when it finally arrived.

We had a Sunday roast here plus a dessert and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. There is a lovely large garden area which we took advantage of for a post meal drink. I can't comment on the rooms as we didn't stay here. The pub is in the old village of Laxton which is worth a visit for its history.

Close to Sherwood Forest and Major Oak, a most charming and welcoming pub-restaurant-B&B. Attentive staff, a superb room and impeccably clean. It was the ideal stopover on the way back from the Lake District and to kiss dear Robin Hood (Woods in French... Robin des Bois!) and his merry companions!

The dovecote is one of my favourite pubs and a little gem in this country, I've never had a bad meal. Beautiful location in Laxton village. The museam of the ancient field system is located in one of the old barns and is interesting. Food is locally and seasonal sourced and always high quality. They have great Sunday roasts. I don't drink but those who do enjoyed a pint or two. It's great for any occasion and the staff and owners will always do what they can to facilitate requests.

Soulless. Very sad to see the decline. It is an old English country pub which used to be extremely popular, full of character, punters and good food. Even the furniture was not fitting for a country pub but more like a cheap cafe. Pleasant service but oppressive decor.. It could be brilliant

We were staying in Laxton, so had to try the 2 courses for £20 deal, which by todays standards is very reasonable! 2 couples, we had Beef and Pork roast, all was really nice. Only slight criticism was needed more roasties and veg. We had sticky toffee pudding with custard, which was a joy. Doggy friendly too which is a bonus!

From walking in, to leave you are very well looked after. Food excellent, only issue was which meal to have. Spent nearly twos in total up at Upton Hall. I wish it was my local. Special mention to the wonderful, well behaved dog, sorry forgot name.
