View Of The Valley Hut Reviews

Clare

Such a beautiful and cosy hut with spectacular views. We felt at home straight away and enjoyed relaxing in the peace and quiet. This little cabin had everything you need and the hot tub under the stars was amazing!

Libby

This was the most idyllic place we have stayed. Everything was perfect. The owners even left fresh milk, eggs from their chickens and Welsh cakes for us on arrival which was a lovely surprise. The bed was the comfiest I have ever slept on and all you can hear is the nature outside! Our gas did run out one morning but we called the number left in thRead moree book and the owner came down very quickly with his wonderful sheepdog Beth and replaced the canister in no time at all! Very nice and helpful gent! Hide

Georgia

This was my partner and I's first ever holiday together, and it was absolutely fantastic! The location and views are phenomenal, the hosts were lovely and friendly, the price was more than reasonable in our eyes and the hut had everything we needed and more. We had such a wonderful time and we really can't thank our hosts enough x

Hannah

The shepherd hut exceeded my expectations. The location is in the woods is idyllic and it was so peaceful. The fact that the woods are fenced in was ideal for my dogs as they had the freedom to sniff at their leisure. The kitchen is well equipped to do basic cooking, and the hut itself is so comfortable and cosy. The eggs, milk and Welsh cakes on w elcome were a lovely added extra. As others have mentioned, be careful of attracting the hornets as it goes to dusk and dark with the lights on.

Louise

Lovely shepherds hut accessed along a woodland path. Stunning views with swing seats from an old oak tree. Well equipped with indoor and outdoor furniture and a super comfy bed! Great location to explore too, will definitely be back.

Olivia

Such a lovely and private location, the view is incredible. Loved having the field of sheep next to us aswell. Can't really fault this place. The bed was very cosy and comfortable. Just be careful not to leave the windows/door open at night with any lights on as huge hornets will fly in, we got 3 in at once as we left the door open since the oven k icks out a lot of heat for hours after you use it. But it's in a great location for things to do and places to eat so you can't really go wrong.

Neil

So peaceful and calm, noone within miles except sheep. Just a shame about the weather. Hot tub was amazing. Was expecting to feel cold during the nights and in the morning but was very warm and cozy.

Debbie

Lovely stay in the Shepherds hut very quiet and secluded. Comfy bed and loved relaxing in the hot tub.

Tracey

We really enjoyed our stay at the View of the Valley hut. The location was stunning and remote, which was just what we wanted and the hut itself was just gorgeous with every little detail thought of. We loved the hammock chairs overlooking the stunning valley view and spend many a happy hour sat in them with blankets over us (it was chilly) reading our books and enjoying the lovely scenery. A perfect way to enjoy our Silver Wedding Anniversary break, would highly recommend and hope to return.

Eleanor

Wow! What a view .. perfect and peaceful everything you would need from a week away! I would mention the wood is not properly seasoned, so it is tricky to get going, and we didn't realise there was any coal for the BBQ until the last night (I think the intro guide needs updating) great for dogs and Monmouth had some great dog friendly places (Coffi Lab and estero lounge)

Jennifer

Our third amazing visit and it did not disappoint. Hoping to keep going back for many years to come! Thank you for providing a perfect hut in a perfect location!

Georgiana

This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been! The views alone make it worth paying to stay here but the hut is also lovely. The bed is really comfortable and there is everything you need to do simple meals in the kitchen. My dogs loved the bluebell wood and it was great that they could roam freely. I was incredibly blessed with the wea ther and was able to sit outside the whole time. I saw deer, a hare and lots of birds. Perfect place for countryside lovers.

Lori

We had the most amazing weekend secluded away from the rest of the world surrounded by bluebells, peace and serenity. The views and sunset were gorgeous and we enjoyed our time chatting away in the swinging chairs, around the fire and in the hot tub. Would recommend to any couple wanting a wholesome stay, it was worth every penny!

Miriam

Wonderful hut in an amazing location with great views and lots to do in surrounding area. Hut itself is well equipped for cosy nights in avoiding the cold or out in the sunshine around the camp fire. The bed is SO comfortable!!! A real home from home, we can't wait to visit again.

Janette

Just the perfect getaway. Full of charm and very peaceful.

Beth

Myself & my partner stayed in this gorgeous location for 2 nights and had a wonderful stay. The views of the valley are stunning and the hut was very comfortable, the perfect romantic getaway! Big thanks to Tim, an excellent host.

Sarah

Amazing place to stay, comfort and views are excellent and we will definitely be booking again soon!

Ursula

Absolutely incredible! If you want peace and quiet, and to relax, then this is the place for you. We stayed for 4 nights in October and it was perfect.l. no one else about, apart from the odd farmer and cows/sheep in the fields. The hot tub is a nice touch, the swings are ideally placed to watch the sun rise and sun set, and the cabin is lovely, an d high quality. We will be returning.

Alice

An absolutely beautiful slice of peace and tranquillity. The shepherds hut itself was cosy and welcoming with gorgeous finishing touches. The outside areas were absolute heaven. The swinging seats with that view - wow! So lovely to also have the firepit and wood-fired hot tub. We hope to be back soon. Thank you.

Sam

A beautiful and remote location to reconnect with nature and solitude Perfect

Paul

This is our second visit here and it was even better than the last time. The hut and the surroundings are pretty much perfect and there is everything you need and more besides. The sunsets are amazing and it is lovely to sit in the swing chairs or tub to watch it. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit of an evening and we heard the owls each night. All in all pretty much perfect!

Angela

Wow! What a beautiful, secluded location. Wonderfully thought out accommodation for such a compact living area. If peace, tranquility and fresh air is what you are looking for this is definitely the place. We loved every minute.

Nicola

Absoutley perfect way to spend our mini moon, just the 2 of us, in a very peaceful, secluded and beautiful spot. The views are simply amazing, we sat in those swings for hours just relaxing, talking, laughing and occasionally crying happy tears. The milk, eggs and welsh cakes was a lovely gesture and very much appreciated. We made good use of the h ot tub during the day and at night. Thankyou again, we hope to return one day soon.

Andy

Such an amazing place. I couldnt recommend it enough. A truly special private get away space especially watching the sun go down in the hot tub.

Jez

Had a fantastic stay at the view of the valley - it really is a special place in the most scenic location. The hut is so cosy and has everything you need - but the breathtaking views are the real star of the show - especially when lying in the hammock watching the sun go down. We cant wait to return.

Elliot

This is such a lovely place to escape reality, the views are phenomenal and its such a cozy little place to stay at. The hot tub is great and with a beautiful view too.

Ellie

We spent an amazing week for our honeymoon staying at the hut. Our two dogs had full run of the woods, truly dog-friendly! Comfy bed, generous supplies on arrival and a beautiful setting. The hot tub was great but getting it going and keeping it going was a bit cumbersome, especially in the rain however this will not stop up coming again! 10/10!

Emily

The most amazing get away location. Me and my boyfriend visited over a weekend in June with our two dachshunds. The hut was perfect and the views were out of this world. Plenty to do in the surrounding location. Beautiful walks and lots of castles and over doggy friendly places to visit!

Cathleen

Wonderful views. So quiet and peaceful. Well equipped. Hot tub was lovely. Watch out for the frog who lives in the wall by the hot tub and likes to peep on you whilst you bathe!!

Shannon

We had the most wonderful honeymoon break in this beautiful and peaceful hut. The fresh eggs, Welsh cakes and milk were a lovely touch and we had plenty of firewood for use throughout the stay. The complementary fizz was also very much appreciated. Such a kind and thoughtful gesture. Will definitely recommend to family and friends. Thank you!

Craig

Absolutely stunning location. Saw the bluebells in full flower and lambs but each season would offer something different. Wonderful relaxing place hut and amenities fantastic. Chepstow a short drive away. Couldnt find a fault and we glamp regularly. Loved the hot tub too.

Silvia

Beautiful location, perfectly equipped, cozy, comfortable and tranquil. The hut is gorgeous and has everything you need. I felt recharged and refreshed after my holiday here. Thoroughly recommend.

Victoria

This property was perfect for us, we had everything that we needed, very informative information within the property and the fresh eggs were a nice touch. We loved the hot tub, we spent lots of time just enjoying the quiet. We hope to be able to return.

Anthony

Wow. I can safely say that I have never relaxed so much and in such a short period of time. Okay, it is small but it is also very well planned. The woods provide a great hideaway, and the field is superb for walking the dogs. It is 5 star and the hot tub was good fun. It does take time to warm. Safe for dogs and loved feeling a bit more as part of nature. Also great location for trip's out. Horse riding, historic sites and walks near by. We will be going back.

Philip

Very friendly, helpful owners. Beautiful secluded location with good views, very quiet too with direct access to some walks.

Terri

Amazing amazing amazing stay loved ever minute of our stay . The cottage hottub views were all amazing. It was worth every penny and will return again next year hopefully for a summer stay .

Joanne

We really enjoyed our stay. Its was perfect for a uk honeymoon until its safer to travel. The location was breathtaking. In the cooler months the hot hut literally took half a day to get to temperature so we didnt use it much as we went out exploring.

David

This place is a hidden gem. Just back from a 4 night stay with our 2 dogs and we all loved it. It's exactly what we needed - peaceful, relaxing, secluded and wow, the views!! The dogs loved exploring around the area and so did we. Will definitely return.
