Beautifully decorated throughout. Garden was ample but bare. Hot tub was amazing and you could change in the shed before going indoors. Great to be able to park off road.

We have had a lovely few days at Valley View. The area was peaceful with walks on an old train track within yards. Two local pubs with brilliant reviews although we chose to relax in the garden or hot tub. Beautiful beaches at Redcar, Blackall Rocks for Sea glass searching. The cottage was beautiful with delightful lighting choices in all rooms. Everything we needed to prepare meals. Thank you for allowing us to stay. Hopefully we’ll return for another short break x
