Valley View Reviews

We spent the weekend here to celebrate my Wife's 50th birthday with her family and friends. overall our experience was satisfactory and the house games room and large kitchen were the highlights. We found the various hot water systems a little confusing to be honest and there were issues with running hot water in all rooms consistently so we had to share bathrooms to allow people to shower which was not ideal The heating systems didn't seem to work consistently either with the right side of the house feeling cold games room side even though the hive thermostat indicated the heating was working We used all the fire logs we bought and ended up purchasing more from Booths to keep warm We also had issues with the lighting games room area and electric showers with a call out required for some mains breaker switches to be reset by the emergency weekend support team

We had high expectations of the property from the pictures on the listing. Upon arrival however even our lofty expectations were exceeded the place is spectacular. Valley View is a massive property, and the facilities are fantastic. The hot tub is massive and modern and fit for a large party. The beds are all large, clean and brand new, the dining facilities were just brilliant, and we had a fantastic meals across the large dining area. The kitchen itself was also tremendous. It was myself who arranged our trip, but every person from our large party personally congratulated me on my choice of housing for our trip. Everyone was blown away with the place. We will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you to all the staff who had the place looking pristine upon our arrival, we had a very memorable weekend
This property is truly amazing! I spent time there for my 70th birthday with 18 members of my family. It was so spacious we could all get together in one very large and comfy lounge and their were several other lounges and a games room for when we wanted to sit in smaller groups. My 3 year old grandson had the time of his life roaming around and playing in all of the rooms. The dining facilities were fantastic and we could all dine together very comfortably. The gardens were beautiful and the younger members of the family had a great time using the immaculately clean hot tub even though it was October and the weather was cold. Everyone who worked at the house or for Sykes were so welcoming and friendly to deal with. We just loved the house and were sad to leave it.
One shower not working small oven not been cleaned garden not looked after ...

This property has not been described correctly. It has NOT been fully refurbished and is not secure to the standard that we expected. There was rubble, paint tins, weeds and dog mess in areas of the garden when we arrived. The property and grounds are not secure and we had people looking in the windows, walking in the garden and even entering the hall to enquire if it was a caf! The kitchen tap fell apart, a shower was not working at all and others were too hot and couldn't be adjusted. The curtains in one bedroom were tied up with string, headboard broken and sticky mess on carpet. The conservatory roof leaked and the windows painted shut. Other windows elsewhere were nailed shut. A small piece of plaster moulding on the ceiling fell down. A Door handle fell off in one bedroom door trapping people inside and the external door handle to the kitchen was missing. There has been some refurbishment such as to the kitchen, some of the bathrooms and some bedrooms but the property is still in need of a general overall.
Momchil
Very bad experience . Perfect size property. We feel like we are in the building side because of the work that is unfinished. Disturbing nouse from the building work on Sunday around the property . No privacy at all. The main view is the rubbish from the building work all around the property . Inside had newly installed kitchen. But the rest of it was very old fealty or new but unfinished. Bedroom with no windows it is ok but you should have some sort of ventilation to provide air in the room, or shared bathroom with no locks
Patricia
We had a wonderful stay at valley view with family and friends and would definitely recommend. The family area was huge and ideal for family gatherings. It would have been nice if there was some basic refreshments and condiments such as tea, coffee salt and pepper available to us. We encountered a few maintenance issues during our stay including a lack of hot water to some rooms and the hot tub only working on one side. We were subsequently advised that these issues were resolved after we had left.
There was no lock in any room As well as common bath room no lock Some room hot water was missing
Mr Wayne Hassell
We booked Valley View House for my wifes 70th birthday and what a brilliant stay we enjoyed. The house is very well presented and warm as toast as we arrived. The property manager was so very helpful and ensured our stay went smoothly. All our guests enjoyed a fabulous stay. We held a Murder Mystery weekend what a brilliant house to host such an event. Everyone went away rested and fulfilled, our happy time here will be fondly remembered forever thank you Valley View House
Mr William Tivendale
We had a wonderful stay celebrating a 50th birthday party. Valley View is a lovely place for a family gathering. The place was immaculate, large and spacious. It has be renovated just recently. All beds were extremely comfortable and looked to have brand new bedding. The kitchen is also brand new and is so big you will have trouble finding things because there is so much storage but it is all there! There are many things to do inside and places to visit just a short car ride away. The hot tub will be cold when you arrive as the water is changed for each new client. But the next morning it will be piping hot. The property has large gardens perfect for outdoor fun if you get the weather. There are 2 pubs, a Chinese take away and the CoOp are all just a 5 minute walk away. We had a fantastic time in Valley View and would recommend it for any large gathering of people.
My Dave Staley
Wow. Lots of character in this huge holiday home. Plenty room for everyone. Stayed here for my daughters 21st celebration and it was perfect. Games room went down a treat. Huge dining area connected to the kitchen doubled up as party central. Just a stroll to a great choice of pubs restaurants. Great setting for a get together.

South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 1 Mile

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 14 Miles
Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 17 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 21 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 28 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
