The Dovecote at Pauntley Court, situated in Redmarley, Gloucestershire, offers a unique and enchanting retreat for up to four guests. This two-bedroom house, characterized by its historical significance dating back to the 1300s, beautifully blends rustic charm with modern conveniences. Renowned poet John Masefield described Pauntley Court as a place of "great beauty and strangeness," reflecting the magical atmosphere that envelops the estate, which is also notable as the birthplace of Dick Whittington, a figure who rose to become the Lord Mayor of London.
Guests at The Dovecote can enjoy access to the estate's main formal gardens, which feature a variety of captivating landscapes, including a walled garden with a statue of Pan, a cloister garden with pleached hornbeams, and a sunken garden adorned with tulips, alliums, and roses. The gardens are designed to offer inspiration with their artistic use of stone and local bricks. The property also includes a private garden with seating and a barbecue, perfect for outdoor relaxation and dining. Additional amenities such as hybrid bicycles and access to a tennis court enhance the experience for visitors.
The Dovecote's location is ideal for exploring the scenic Gloucestershire countryside, with easy access to market towns like Newent and Ledbury, as well as spa towns such as Malvern and Cheltenham. Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of nearby walking areas, including the Malvern Hills and the picturesque Cotswolds. For those seeking companionship, the adjacent Elinor Fettiplace cottage can accommodate two more guests, making it a perfect choice for groups of friends or family.
Within the holiday home, guests will find a range of modern conveniences, including a wood-burning stove, a fully equipped kitchen, and multiple entertainment options such as televisions and a Blu-ray player. The area is rich in attractions, from the stunning landscapes of the Forest of Dean and Symonds Yat to historical sites like Hereford and Gloucester Cathedrals. Culinary delights await at nearby pubs and restaurants, including a Michelin-starred establishment.
