Valley view barn is the most amazing cottage we have stayed in. We are a family of 7 adults and 4 children ages 3-7. This cottage has everything you could possibly need to have the most wonderful holiday. Lovely open plan downstairs and lovely bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and downstairs which worked very well for our family. On walking in there was the lovely touch of wine and chocolates for our 45th wedding anniversary. Outside space is also amazing with the extra touch of being able to go through into a lovely open field. We hired a hot tub which was installed ready for our visit. Excellent welcome book with all the information you need for take aways, restaurants and we found the name of a lovely photographer who kindly fit us in for a natural photo shoot. The pictures are amazing. The cottage is perfectly situated for gullivers world, heights of Abraham and Chatsworth. Excellent communication from the property manager Sophie, from booking to leaving the cottage. We will definitely return to this cottage and highly recommend it.
