No. 1 Valley View Cottage Reviews

Tom
This was our fourth stay at No1 valley view, Beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings, easy access to local tourist hot spots within the FoD. A must stay and easily a n 11/10
Paul
The Cottage itself is great and is probably in a good location if you are ramblers. We are more of a family that likes picturesque towns/villages, quirky shops, welcoming and dog friendly pubs with character and good food. Consequently, found we had more driving to do than expected.
Marianne
Lovely cottage stay. The host is very friendly and helpful. She gave advice on local spots to visit and pubs! Cottage was lovely and homely with amazing large hot tub to enjoy each day. WiFi is good and amenities all excellent. Local spots to visit all within half an hours drive (most places were 15 mins) with lots of places to visit with a baby anRead mored dog. Found a great local pub that was dog friendly too. Hide

Denise
Very comfortable place with lovely views. Easy to get to local attractions. Has everything you need to relax, hot tub was fabulous.
Richard
Beautiful views, hot tub was lovely but as it was a hot day the temp was too hot and had to turn it down. The accommodation was clean and had everything we needed. The owner was lovely allowed us to checkout an hour later and provided a fan to use when we asked for one. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back.
Caroline
We had a lovely 5 night break. The hot tub was not overlooked and had an amazing view of the valley. The cottage was furnished very well, lots of storage and a lovely bathroom. Extra towels for the hot tub was a nice touch . There is only 1 pub open now in the village which does good beer but no longer serves food. But there is a chip shop. PavemenRead morets all the way to the pub but road is quite busy and good workout the way home as mostly uphill. It s a good base to explore the area. Hide
Louise
Lovely property and fantastic hot tub with an amazing view. Very friendly host and prompt text responses. We had a great time. White Hart nearby is worth a visit and its worth downloading the Blakeney fish & chip shop app to order online and collect when ready!
Steven
Fantastic location and lovely cottage, plus the hot tub was a massive hit! Would definitely book here again.
Joanne
We had a lovely weekend, cottage clean and comfortable. Loads of lovely walks nearby and beautiful views. Thank you.

Lovely, clean cottage with large bedrooms and only a short drive away from the Forest of Dean. Well equipped, warm and cosy. The hot tub is a fabulous addition. The welcome prosecco was very well received.
Claire
Enjoyed a lovely break in this fabulous cottage. Spacious, clean, private and well equipped. The hot tub was a fabulous addition and used a lot during our stay with views over the hills. A 10 minute drive to the forest parks and Lydney for supplies. Would recommend and stay there again.
Sue
I go away every year with friends, simply for us all to talk annd catch up! Our regular place stopped doing weekdays so needed a new one. Lovely place , lovely hot tub .. we like a bit more rural but otherwise all was lovely and very private and we were not disturbed .will definitely consider for next year
Megan
Our holiday was amazing. The cottage is really beautiful and the view was breathtaking. Centrally located for what we needed and peaceful. The hot tub was the highlight and well used.
Mark
Our second visit and was just as enjoyable as the first. Lovely weekend.
Emma
Really lovely cottage with hot tub. Nice views although will be more overlooked when holiday lodges look to be installed soon. Was very clean. Some cooking utensils but not everything you need. Provided with a lovely bottle of Prosecco. No blind in second bedroom so very light in early hours of morning. Good location and easy to find with easy park ing. Very quiet.
Mark
Lovely accommodation, ideally placed for exploring the local area. Hot tub not a deal breaker but a lovely addition to the property, very welcome after long walks, cycling etc!
Mark
Arrived on Friday night after a stressful work week. The cottage was spotless and lovely and warm. The owners had left us a bottle of Prosecco which was a lovely touch. We had a great weekend enjoying the hot tub throughout. Loads of walks within a few minutes drive and went home on Sunday feeling refreshed and relaxed.
Kerrine
Nice little cottage for a wkend away. Keyssfe entery & a welcoming bottle of Prosecco on arrival. A beautiful view over the valley thats unfortunately going to be compromised by the whatever is going on the new hard standing plot. This is however not really very noticeable if youre sat at the back of the hot tub! Mr & Mrs Smith recommended a lovely Indian (Bengal Balti) a few miles away. I can definitely also recommend it, great value for money.
Helen
