• "Our second time here and looking forward to returning."

  The location of Valley View can't be beat - 360 degrees of uninterrupted countryside views where the only sound you'll hear is the sheep with so much to do on your doorstep (beaches, walks, national Trust, reservoir, local outdoor pool, quaint Devon & Somerset towns). Beautifully clean, comfortable and well equipped, the owners have thought of everything. Thank you for the welcome gifts of flowers and chocolates, very thoughtful.

• "PERFECT. Accommodation is stunning."

  I'm not really a pet lover so was a little worried that pets are allowed but you wouldn't know there had ever been any - it was spotless. Place is fully equipped and you want for nothing. Views are stunning and you are totally secluded. You can tell by the visitors book with the number of repeat visits that people fall in love with this place. The owner Annie is extremely helpful and goes miles out of her way to help you.

  The accommodation was excellent with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The location was perfect, with beautiful views in all directions and sitting outside on the decking was where we spent a great deal of time. It was also a good location to get out and visit places.

• "After having such busy and rushed lives with a newborn, it was so nice to settle down and relax into a beautiful property surrounded by sheep and the country side with a glass of wine."

  The facilities were out of this world, especially the small details like disinfectant wipes, a teddy for our boy and items for the dog. We had a few issues with the Hot Tub, but the owner rang us straight away to help us sort it, which was greatly appreciated. We had a lovely chat with Annie and her sister, which was so pleasant. There were a few local pubs close by and the village of Bampton. We then manged to explore a lot of places in Devon, which were around a 1hr-1.5hr drive. The property itself was lovely, cleaned and quiet. We thank you for such a wonderful stay and will definitely be back if possible :)

  It was packed with everything you could have needed during a stay.

• "This holiday accommodation is in my honest opinion "outstanding."

  " The post code is slightly out and its a little further up the lane than the sat nav tells you. As soon as you open the door you know its going to be good. Decor is to a good standard and even though the owners allow dogs there was no trace of dog hairs anywhere and the place smelt really fresh. The furniture is really comfortable and the bed linen and towels are of a very high standard. Slept like a log in the large double bed. Shower was easy to use and pressure was really good. The 8 seater hot tub is just what the doctor ordered for a chill out session. There are no neighbours overlooking you and the only sounds really are the sheep in the fields behind you or the odd hoot from an owl. If you want peace and quiet with no interruptions this is definately the place for you. Had occasion to speak to the owners whilst there. They are a super couple and extremely friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this accommodation and will definitely be booking another week to relax and chill out here.

  It was much bigger than it seemed in the pictures. There were so many extras at the cottage to make life easier, including weighing scales and baking tins and Tupperware....I gave up baking on holiday years ago because no-one supplied these, but I could have happily done so here. there were instructions for every appliance well organised in a folder. It was extremely clean, everything we needed to know was explained clearly and even the bins and the shed were clean. The towels were so soft and big and luxurious; never had such quality towels in a holiday cottage before. The dog was welcomed with his own kit including treats, a bed and bowls supplied; previous cottages have left lists of rules that have made us feel like Roger was an imposition! The owners were nearby if we needed them but otherwise left us alone to enjoy our holiday; much appreciated.
