The location was wonderful, on 13 acres of gardens. The dog enjoyed it too.The only drawback was the shower. My husband has balance issues and didn't feel it would be safe to shower with no grab rails available. Also, the WiFi was quite limited and unreliable. Apart from that, we enjoyed a lovely holiday at Valley View.
