“Excellent and was perfect for relaxing”

Mr Thwaites May 2021

“Brilliant location - a little hard to find initially as off the beaten track so sat nav did not pick up at first.”

Cottage was perfect, central for many locations and things to do and see. The facilities were perfect and very clean. The owners even provided a welcome pack, with 2 lovely mugs to take home as a reminder! We thoroughly enjoyed being invited to feed the alpaca and watch them having a "shower". Would definitely recommend as a beautiful, peaceful break and hope to return there in the near future.

Mrs Wells April 2021

“Beautiful location, friendly hosts and adorable alpacas, what's not to like?”

The rambles from the cottage give you nature at it's best on your doorstep and the pretty market towns of Ross (very close) and Monmouth give you everything you need.

- Mrs Wells, April 2021
Ms Anderton September 2020

“A lovely cottage in a lovely area.”

Sparkling clean and although there wasn’t the usual embellishment i.e. cushions etc. due to the COVID pandemic, there was everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. The spiral staircase took a little getting used to, but was perfectly fine for us. Paul and Edwina were very welcoming and gave us lots of information regarding the local area. We would certainly book Valley View again in the future.

- Ms Anderton, September 2020
Mr Howlett August 2020

“The spiral staircase to the bedroom makes this property limited to fit and healthy people only.”

- Mr Howlett, August 2020
Mr Hatch September 2019

“Lovely location, beautiful view, good starting point from which to explore local areas.”

- Mr Hatch, September 2019
Mr Shotter July 2019

“Superb Cottage, wonderful scenic, peaceful, relaxing location.”

- Mr Shotter, July 2019
Mrs Pearce August 2018

“Holiday cottage was beautifully presented and in a glorious location.”

Owners very helpful and welcoming - would definately stay again if ever in the area. Important to follow the simple directions to the property as we were unable to locate just with SatNav when travelling from a different direction.

- Mrs Pearce, August 2018
Mr Marchant August 2018

“The views from the cottage were beautiful and grounds were nice and clean.”

The owners were friendly and there is a welcome basket. The downsides were the tiny staircase leading to upstairs bedroom which is pretty small and has no toilet facilities. The bed was not the most comfortable. Despite listing WiFi the cottage definitely doesn’t have this. You have to go outside and find a place to stand near the owners cottage to use theirs. Despite this it’s a really lovely place and extremely well equipped. Cute friendly dogs. It’s great for walkers who are used to country roads

- Mr Marchant, August 2018
Mrs Thorpe July 2018

“The cottage was well clean, comfortable, well presented and situated in a peaceful area.”

The only downside was the narrow spiral staircase up to the bedroom which you had to be fairly agile to cope with.

- Mrs Thorpe, July 2018
Mr Gibson July 2018

“Really enjoyed our stay and was very easy and relaxed.”

Would recommend to others.

- Mr Gibson, July 2018
Ms Aimable July 2018

“This is a beautiful cottage in a great location.”

And I had a lovely week of exploring the area but I think the owner really needs to bear in mind that the phone signal there is virtually non existant and they dont provide wifi so as a single traveller myself its important for me to be able to keep in touch with family. I was having to walk up the road every night to get a phone signal. The owner gives you the password to their own wifi but you can only get that if you push your equipment right up against the wood burning stove and then its very weak ... the cottage next door couldnt get any signal at all . The complimentary jam crisps and cider were a very nice touch but after a 180 miles drive all you want is a cup of tea so a complimentary tea and coffee tray would have been great

- Ms Aimable, July 2018
Mr Howlett June 2018

“Beautiful 1 bed cottage on a small farm that keeps Alpacas & a rare breed of black sheep.”

The cottage was extremely well furnished and the kitchen area included a dishwasher and washing machine. The luxury bathroom had a walk in shower. Although a bit off the beaten track the quietness of the location and beautiful views from its high vantage point made it ideal for those looking for a peaceful holiday. It's just a 10min drive to Ross-on-Wye and 5mins drive to the Mill Race, the nearest Pub/restaurant. A friendly place recommended for meals. Also worth visiting is the No.3 Restaurant in Ross-on-Wye. Paul and Edwina made us feel very welcome. A nice touch was the welcome basket which included some local goodies. A bonus for keen gardeners is Howle Hill Nursery, just a couple of minutes walk away. This is a gardener's paradise which has won 9 gold medals at the Chelsea Flower show, so well worth a visit. We had a week of hot sunny weather so the coolness of the cottage with its thick walls, made coming back to it after a day touring around, a pleasure. Highly recommended.

Mr Mills June 2018

“Amazing area lots to do if you want peace it's perfect too.”

- Mr Mills, June 2018

- Miss Brown, September 2016
Mr Turner August 2016

“The owners are very nice indeed.”

There were a few things not quite right for the cottage to be labelled as a luxury five star property but it was pretty close.

- Mr Turner, August 2016

The owners were very welcoming. The cottage was outstanding - 5*. Beautifully furnished and immaculately clean. Their taste in everything matched ours.
