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!
