Reviews

The property is as stated in every area, good location 30/40 mins to all attractions. everything you need is supplied. will I stay again, YES, and so would the other 10 members of the Family that were easily accommodated along with two little dogs.

Mr C,

Great accommodation and very well equipped. Lisa the owner was very helpful and let us know there was a problem with the boiler on arrival. Our only comment would have been about the noise from the pub below at night (especially on New Year’s Day night) but we knew we were staying above a pub so it is to be expected

Mrs S,

Lovely family time spent in this flat, with loads of space for all to be comfy.

Mrs G,

We had a fabulous stay. Recommended to family and friends. The kitchen was very well equipped and the finishing touches like dish washer tablets and washing up liquid was much appreciated. As was the wine. Thank you very much

Mr R,

Apart from some noise being heard in some of bedrooms at night the cottage was a good size and very well equipped for our family of 10. We enjoyed our weekend

Mr R,

We had a wonderful holiday. Lisa was a lovely host and it was a good location with beautiful views and lends itself to a family holiday. The accommodation was spacious, homely and well equipped.

Mrs W,

Once again had a great time. Vale view is an ideal place for a large group get together. The accommodation is always top standard. The owner is very helpful.

Ms M,
