We had a very friendly welcome from our hosts who gave us a useful tour of the cottage and a generous welcome pack. The cottage is a comfortable , well equipped, private and guiet place to stay and is close to great places to visit within a short drive or plenty of local walks along safe lanes and pathways.The private garden was a great asset in the evening and is well equipped with garden furniture and games, quite the best cottage we have stayed in.

What a beautiful place and setting. To top it Barry and Jackie were the best people we could have met . The cottage was spotless and clean. The greeting pack they left us was so lovely we’ve never had such a well stocked place. I can’t say enough good things as it would take too long but it’s a holiday il will never forget because Barry and Jackie too made it that special too . I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the property 😁

We were given a warm welcome by Barry and Jackie. The cottage had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Everything was spotlessly clean and excellent cooking facilities. No hesitation in recommending Wavaney Valley View.
