We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at Valley View. The cottage was perfect for us. It was very comfortable, well equipped and beautifully decorated. The photos don't do it justice. It is much more roomy than it looks. The garden is large and very well laid out - a perfect sun-trap all day. The hot tub is large and very well maintained. The setting is lovely. It's very quiet and peaceful while being in a pretty village with two pubs within easy walking distance and within driving distance of the coast and many visitor attractions. We have no hesitation in recommending it to others.P.S. There is a full size fridge freezer in the kitchen which is just out of view in the photo, handy to know if you plan to cook and eat at home during your stay.
