We loved our long BH weekend at Valley View. Set in a peaceful village location with 2 pubs within 5 mins walk. Tesco extra, McDonalds just down the road about 1.5 miles away. The cottage is just perfect for two, the owners have thought of everything you could possibly need. Clean, comfortable and the garden, patio with BBQ and the undercover hot tub was idyllic especially at night time with all the lights on and listening to the birds! Private parking just outside. Highly recommended and we will be sure to re-book in the future. Thank you!

Nestled away with a suntrap back garden with lots of lovely lighting and places to sit and be in nature including the secluded hot tub. This deluxe cottage had attention to detail bringing comfort, cleanliness and warmth it was almost too lovely to leave. There were two pubs within strolling distance and lots to do within an hours drive. The nearest shop was a short drive away but that certainly did not spoil our weekend.
