Best scramble eggs on toast I’ve had! Love this place

Nice place to stop for a coffee

Lovely tea room and cafe and delicious cakes and food. They also have a playground outside and are happy to bring drinks to the outdoor or indoor areas to suit guests. Lovely peaceful scenery and very accommodating staff.

We held our wedding reception at the Dovecote Buttery in Newton on 12th July 2025, and from start to finish the whole experience was absolutely wonderful.

From the very beginning, communication with James and his team was excellent. They were always quick to respond to our questions, extremely helpful with planning details, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. In the months leading up to the wedding, they gave us such confidence that everything would run smoothly, and on the day itself they went above and beyond to make sure it did.

The venue itself is simply beautiful – the perfect setting for a summer wedding. It felt both elegant and relaxed, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that our guests loved. We had many comments from family and friends about how lovely the venue was and how well everything was organised.

One of the things I appreciated most was how accommodating the team were with our personal touches. I had made lots of decorations myself, and the staff were more than happy to take them and set everything up on the day. It meant I didn’t have to worry about a thing – I could just enjoy the morning knowing everything was being taken care of. When we arrived, the room looked stunning and exactly how we’d pictured it.

On the day, James and his staff worked tirelessly to make sure everything ran seamlessly. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and hard work really stood out. They managed the timings perfectly, looked after our guests so well, and created a relaxed, stress-free atmosphere for us as a couple. It honestly felt like we were in such safe hands the entire time.

We are so grateful to everyone at the Dovecote Buttery for giving us such a perfect reception. It was everything we’d hoped for and more. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines excellent organisation, a beautiful setting, and a truly dedicated team, we couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Very welcoming, good food.

Lovely location and nicely decorated place. We had afternoon tea which was delicious

Very nice very much liked here food an drink very good .. but felt slightly one should have turned up in Tweeds and Shooting Stick

Delicious food, a great range of desserts / cakes too! Beautiful location!

Nice, quirk place. Wanted a light lunch but my salad was huge. Very tasty. Not cheap.

Lovely friendly staff, gorgeous restaurant and surrounding area. Excellent food. I will be back

Perfect venue for a wedding reception. Space to spread out in the lovely grounds, amazing care taken by staff to make the day memorable. Highly recommend.

Food was lovely and arrived quickly. Wasnt too busy when we arrived. Younger staff members very helpful and friendly 😊. Woman at the till taking orders was abrupt, when i asked a question.

Excellent service lovey and quiet atmosphere

Lovely people and great location, food wasn’t amazing like it used to be.

Loved it. Can get a bit noisy when busy but it's a quaint place. Lovely when it's warm outside.

Beautiful place lovely staff 😍 definitely worth another visit ❤️

They DON'T HAVE STRAWBERRIES anymore!

Support local. I wish I had gone earlier in the day. Most of the desserts were gone already. Luckily, they still had key lime cheesecake. If the other desserts were as good as the cheesecake, it is no wonder they were all gone.

Lovely food

Amazing place lovely food

Amazing service, friendly staff and food was amazing 👏

Great breakfast good value and really friendly atmosphere. Fishing excellent!

Very pleasant surroundings and good, varied choice of menu but a little overpriced in my opinion as were the items in the shop. Lots of parking space and a small children's play area.

Beautiful location, wonderful for walking.

A few nice nuggets of local history dotted around the area and delicious coffee to refill your energy before another walk! 10/10 can recommend to anyone wanting a good coffee, nice place to sit for a while and also as a waystop for walkers

Actually this place was shut when I attempted to visit with my son and grandson. I've been before and it was ok, but really would be good if opening hours on Google were up to date.
