“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.

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

“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
Mr Gibson July 2018

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

Would recommend to others.

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
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 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.

“Beautiful cottage , ideal for touring the Wye valley .”

A little piece of tranquility away from the normal chaos of life ....heaven !

- 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
Mrs Turner July 2016

“The cottage was lovely, absolutely everything we needed was in it.”

The views of the valley were stunning and it was so peaceful.

“Stunning”

An absolutely gorgeous little cottage! Possibly the most peaceful place I have ever been it was a wonderful base for a restful break in this beautiful part of the world. We were made very welcome and the alpacas, sheep and dogs were very popular neighbours for our children! Thank you we loved it

“Fab - u - lous”

Beautiful home from home cottage. Wood burning stove easy to use - very cosy property - perfect for chilly autumn evenings. Couldn't fault anything. Love this part of the country. So much to see and do - even in late Autumn! Sunset at at Tintern Abbey only beaten by watching the moon rise over the valley. Will definitely return and recommend :-)

“Idyllic Country Cottage”

Ideal cosy cottage furnished to a high standard. The hosts were warm, welcoming and accommodating and left us a lovely welcome basket of local produce. The views from the cottage are stunning and there are direct walks from the property and surrounding areas. There is a wealth of information provided within the property which included Local areas of interest including Leominster which has a small market, and has numerous tea shops and Tudor buildings, Hay on the Wye which is a book town and well worth a visit. Monmouth with the Nelson Museum, and the Courts. Crafts centres including Taurus crafts and the Hop Pocket Village are also worth a mention. The area has lots of attractions for families and children and local pubs are accessible by car or a steep walk.

“The cottage was so quiet and peaceful, and beautifully appointed inside.”

We loved the fact that there was a dining space despite only one bedroom!

A FlipKey verified reviewer October 2011

“Quiet, everything to feel comfortable, place we like to stay,”

Ein wunderbarer Platz, wenn man es ruhig mag. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht, sogar das Kochen macht Spaß. Einziger Nachteil ist eine etwas enge Wendeltreppe in die zweite Etage. Ausstattung, Ambiente, Sauberkeit und die Hilfsbereitschaft der Vermieter sind einfach super!

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, October 2011
Deemax September 2011

“Ramble around Ross!”

We had a super stay here and did plenty of walking directly from the cottage. The cottage itself was very clean and well equipped but the shower-room sink made wet shaving rather difficult! Similarly the circular stairway did not allow much freedom, but all in all...super!

- Deemax, September 2011
Pipsie June 2011

“True 5 star cottage, classy, cosy, perfectly placed and peaceful!”

When we arrived we were knocked out by the views and location. All needs are provided for and we received a lovely welcome from the owners. The cottage is a real home from home and perfectly placed for exploring Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire, plus a path outside the property leading directly onto the Wye Valley Walk. Don't miss Litttle Dean Jail for a weird day out...and for a more tranquil adventure (but equally eerie!) Clearwell Caves is a must. This place is a real gem!

Mr & Mrs Milner August 2010

“A perfect holiday!”

The owners were very welcoming. The cottage was outstanding - 5*. Beautifully furnished and immaculately clean. Their taste in everything matched ours. 'Mill Race Pub' in the village serves excellent food. Symond Yat & River Cruises were fantastic. 'Three Choirs Vineyard' for wine tasting was superb.
