Valley House Reviews

Beautiful house with stunning gardens. Everything was clean, well maintained and decorated to a high standard. The hot tub and gardens were a big hit with all the family. The only issue we had was the attic room which got so hot we had to buy a fan in order to keep a window open we had to also move a cabinet in front to make sure no kids fell out of it. Otherwise we had a lovely family holiday and would definitely recommend it.

Madeleine

Valley House and its extensive grounds are beautiful. So much space for everyone especially outside, perfect for family get togethers. Lots of extras are provided which contribute to making it a memorable stay. Fresh flowers, an exceptional welcome hamper, towelling robes for all for the hot tub, cupboard full of wellies, towels for the dogs, loads of games for the children etc. We have had a fabulous holiday here.

Madeleine

Lovely interesting house. Comfortable and wellequipped. Beautiful garden and the hot tub was lovely

Angela

A perfect week, nothing to dislike. Everything you need is there. Great location, gardens are beautiful and the deer visits were a bonus. A lovely welcome pack. A shame that the bbq is not available until the 1st of May instead of from Easter but only a comment not a criticism. A wonderful holiday had by all ages and very happy dog.

Valley House was great. We were a family group of all ages staying for a 90th birthday celebration. The house was comfortable, clean and well equipped. The garden is huge and a pleasure to explore, the hot tub was a big hit.

Carolyn

Fantastic stay at Valley House for our party of 9 adults and Monty the dog. The house and grounds are lovely and despite it being the end of October we were very lucky with the weather which helped us enjoy the garden, hot tub and surrounding area. Plenty of local walks including the Caen Hill locks and Roundway Hill Covert and a lovey Sunday roast at the Raven Inn. The house is very well equipped, including robes for the hot tub. A few more comfy chairs in the lounge would have been ideal as there were 9 adults so it was a bit of a squeeze. Request to have the attic room made into a double room was dealt with efficiently. Would recommend and hope to return.

Great stay in this amazing house with stunning grounds. Nothing was wanted for and the hot tub was fabulous in the good weather. Plenty of wildlife on the grounds including Deer, Badgers and Foxes. A wonderful peaceful location to relax.

We had a fabulous stay thank you. Amazing house and gardens just perfect for our family gathering we all loved it. Beautiful clean house with a lovely welcome hamper and robes to use when using the hot tub lovely touches. We had everything we needed with a well equipped kitchen and toy room that went down a treat! The only thing we thought could be improved was the amount of seating in the lounge no one wanted to spend the evening sat on a bean bag and if another sofa could be fitted in it would make all the difference.

Nice house but let down by a few things, lounge window broken, this should have been noticed by the cleaner but they had obviously not cleaned the window sill for awhile as it was covered in dead flies. House sleeps 10 but only enough suitable seats in lounge for 34, I would never expect to have to sit on beanbags in the main lounge but thats what you get. There is another sofa in the study which could easily be moved into lounge. Kitchen well equipped but the majority of the plates were chipped and should be thrown away as unhygienic. The bedroom with on suite was nice but there is a full length glass panel between the bedroom and bathroom so no privacy when using the toilet, glass could easily be frosted. The grounds are very large with a stream which the children loved, its a pity that the current owners just cut the lawns as there is evidence of what must have been flower beds but are overgrown with weeds and nettles, there are also numerous fruit trees but dont seem to be cared for. The childs place house in the garden should be removed or replaced as dangerous. We did enjoy the daily visits from the deer to the garden though.

Elaine

This property is truly beautiful. We stayed as a surprise for my husbands 60th Birthday with some special friends and our children. From the time we arrived and pulled up outside the front door we were blown away!!! The house and grounds were wonderful, we didnt want to leave. Thank you for sharing this amazing place. Im sure we will return in the future for more family celebrations.

A wonderful location, the extensive grounds were explored regularly. House very clean and well kept with everything we needed provided. BBQ and hot tub also very welcome. An abundance of wildlife which my Grandchildren loved. I believe my son and daughter in law are going to book again in order for her family to experience this idyllic setting. I would certainly consider another visit, did not want to leave.

Fantastic home where the photos don't do it justice, thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Hattie

We had an absolutely amazing weekend at Valley House. The house and facilities were even better than expected! It was like a home from home. Very private and had everything you could wish for. We added a few fizz glasses to your collection. The land around the property was amazing for walks and activities. Thanks so much!

Florian

This is a beautiful cottage, well maintained and in a nice location. The owner was very responsive to questions.

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage.

We were a family of 9 with a 85, 10, 6 yr old aswell as a 7 month old baby and 2 small dogs. ..we spent a week here at Christmas. The house is lovely warm and comfortable the grounds around it are amazing to walk the dogs and let the kids go off and explore the garden, stream, wood there is a tree house but needs renovating the kids would have loved that. The hot tub is a bonus plenty of room and set at the right temperature , the only gripe I have is if your taking dogs with you as a owner you are responsible for picking up your dogs mess. There was quite a bit of dog mess in the garden which wasn't any of our dogs as we picked it up as it was done. we had a wonderful Christmas there and wouldn't hesitate in returning in the very near future

Kalpana

Amazing property with gardens. We went for a family get away before my brothers wedding and had a lovely time. The owners were always there ready if we ever needed help. Will definitely like to come back here.

Hayley

Wow, what a property! We came to valley house to spend time together as a family. 5 adults, a teenager, 2 children and the dog. We were welcomed into a warm and well presented home. Every tiny thing had been thought of. The welcome basket was out standing and so very generous. The home was clean and tidy, and felt like a home. We explored the home and the grounds and every one in the party said how beautiful it all was. We found new things to explore each time. We spent evenings In the hot tub watching the stars. The robes to use for the hot tub, what a great idea. The beds we all so comfortable, with lovely duvets and pillows. The rooms large and spacious and well decorated. The garden is well kept and maintained at such a high standard. So many places to visit in the area and every one so kind and welcoming We would love to return very soon. And we highly recommend this holiday home to every one and any one. Thank you for the best holiday.

What a superb place to stay. We couldn't have asked for anywhere better to base ourselves. So comfortable, so many gadgets in the kitchen and the grounds where just stunning. Can't recommend this property highly enough.

Dennis

My wife and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with 8 people consisting of 3 generations of our family ranging from the ages of 5 to 75! It was the perfect venue for all of us with wonderful grounds and House. We stayed for 3 days and never needed to leave the venue. The hot tub was popular! A beautiful setting and can't be faulted.

Richard

This is a wonderful property and perfect for a relaxing holiday with family. The house and ground so were so good, and the weather so hot, we cancelled all our many plans for visiting local sites and we just chilled out in the garden and house. The hot tub was very heavily used and our dogs loved the freedom to wander around alone all day. Actually one inaccuracy in the listing the gardens are enclosed unless your dog can jump a low fence. There were many great touches to the stay robes, really good toiletries, a great welcome basket, dog towels. The house is simply wonderful full of character and with a well equipped kitchen. We've done many holidays like this but this was the best place we've stayed. We cannot recommend Valley House too highly.

Lovely house with nice gardens. Would highly recommend

Maxine

This is a fantastic house to stay in. We had a multi generational trip to cater for and this property fulfilled all our needs. Our group age was from 5 years to 86 years. beautiful house and fantastic grounds helped by the fact that we were very lucky with the weather. Games, jigsaws, toys for the children and of course the wonderful hot tub, kept us all amused. So much so that we really didn't need to leave the house. My 5 years old grand daughter kept saying Mummy please can we get a house like this She loved paddling in the stream that runs through the garden. Everything we needed was provided. My only slight criticism was maybe the double mattresses are a little too firm but that's from personal taste. I would highly recommend this house.

It was my wifes significant birthday so I wanted somewhere special for the family to celebrate it. Couldnt have picked a venue any better that ticked every box. There was nothing that I would have asked for differently so I would give this 5 stars. The little touches make such a difference and there were many of these. Would absolutely recommend this property as a break for any occasion.

Elizabeth

The property was so well equipped for a three generation holiday that when we put our heads together to think of anything that was missing the only thing that we could come up with was egg cups.

Valley House is a stunningly beautiful property with the most magnificent of grounds. We loved the space, the privacy and the luxurious finish of the house. The grounds were so spacious that you could play badminton whilst our little boy explored the trees and the brook at the same time as the rest of our family enjoyed the hot tub. In the words of our little one it was wonderful and it was giant. Parking was plentiful, the location quiet but well connected and the spacious rooms in the house meant that everyone felt they had their own space despite being three generations and a dog! Everything you needed was provided and the setting was so tranquil and private that you really could escape the wider world and just enjoy the house. It was a privilege to stay at Valley House and I hope we are fortunate enough to stay there again in the future.

This was a lovely property and perfect for our family stay. We immediately felt at home the house was comfortable, the grounds were beautiful and the hot tub was well used by us all! We have lots of extended family in the area and were easily able to host a couple of family gettogethers during our stay. The owners were very accommodating and left a very good welcome pack. All in all it was a great week and we would definitely recommend it.

Tristan

The house was absolutely brilliant. It is stocked with some fantastic gadgets that came in very handy, such as an ice maker, and the speakers. The hot tub is lovely to sit in, and be surrounded by the gardens. The grounds are really well kept, and it's so peaceful that you hear the river at the end of the garden. The house was warm, very tidy, and perfect for the weekend. I would recommend to anyone!

Thank you for such an amazing stay. The place was spotlessly clean. You could tell that that whole place had been well thought out and there were some lovely touches such as the robes and fresh flowers. The hamper was also a really welcome surprise whilst we waited for our food shop! Thank you!

We appreciated the welcome pack on arrival plenty of towels and dressing gowns was great very well set out inside and lovelygrounds outside all very well kept we were not sure what to do about the bedding when we left. we all enjoyed our stay very much.

Kirsty

Directions to the property were spot on. Sat nav ends before you get there ! The House was spacious for the 10 of us . The beds were clean and comfortable. The garden and hot tub are lovely . We will definitely return

This is an absolutely amazing property and was the perfect place to spend New Years! The Garden is lovely and absolutely huge and the hot tub is luxurious. The house itself is beautiful too and we loved the seasonal decorations! The only thing I would say is that its a bit of a tight squeeze for 10 fully grown adults and would be ideal for 8 adults plus 2 kids. Just because the bunk beds arent really suitable for adults and due to the amount of bathrooms. It would also be useful to have a tea towel or two provided. But we had a wonderful time and would definitely reccomend. One of the best, if not THE best, rental homes weve ever stayed in!

Place was very clean, very comfortable and all you could want for a preChristmas stay. lodge The host, Kate, could not do enough for us, putting up Christmas decorations, providing baby gates and cot and firing up the hottub ready for our arrival. We would like to thank her for everything. The house was sumptuous in its dcor resembling a high class hunting lodge with its ornate picture frames and dark wood furniture.

Victoria

Highly recomend this property. Fabulous hosts. Just perfect! Hired a masseuse for the day and used the lounge as a treatment room ideal!

Beautiful house surrounded by acres of garden great for wildlife spotting! . Very comfortable and well equipped. Our granddaughter enjoyed all the toys! Would definitely come again.

Angharad

An outstanding property, perfect for our group of 8. Such a thoughtful welcome basket. Valley house has everything that you would need. The decor is wonderful and the grounds make the perfect setting. It was faultless

Catherine

We had an absolutely fantastic week at valley house. The weather was dry which meant our three teenagers made the most of the grounds, the astroturf pitch was a great touch for a bit of tennis. We all loved the hot tub and lovely sat watching the sun go down from it, we also caught site of squirrels, rabbits and deer from there. Welcome hamper was a lovely touch, and the house was well furnished and definitely felt like a treat. My only comment would be a few more comfy seats in the lounge for those winter evenings as only five of seven us got a comfy seat on an evening! Did cause a scramble after tea.

Tracey

Celebrated our Ruby Anniversary there with some family and it was an absolutely fantastic stay enjoyed by all. Even the dogs. Will definitely be going back

The house was so well appointed in extensive wooded grounds where we could explore and sit. It was very well equipped for example a Nespresso machine, lovely cutlery, tableware and glasses, lovely soaps and toiletries etc. We were provided with a packed welcome hamper, flowers, and the ice maker ready to go hot tub and BBQ so that we could enjoy a luxurious time with our family. The house was warm, light, spacious and had every comfort. There were indoor and outdoor games, digital speakers, spare wellies for the grounds, good Wifi, a drinks chiller. Very thoughtful touches throughout the house. The area had plenty of interesting places to visit Caen LocksAveburythe canal side and local walks.
