Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the lodge to be very clean, with a few noting some minor issues such as dusty skirting boards and a stained sofa. The overall impression is that the property is well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable stay.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views and tranquillity. Guests appreciate the seclusion and the proximity to natural attractions, although some noted difficulty in finding the property and the distance from local amenities.
Guests report the lodge as cosy and comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed and warm atmosphere. Some guests suggested improvements for additional comfort, such as better heating and more pillows.
The facilities, especially the hot tub, are a highlight for many guests. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as outside lights not working, a leaking hot tub, and minor damages to furniture that suggest room for improvement.
While guests have mentioned the provision of complimentary items and the hosts' willingness to assist, there are no specific references to gifts that would allow for an accurate assessment of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts. Therefore, this score is set to null.

One of the best places we have stayed ever. The place is done really well. The hot tub is private. Garden enclosed. Stunning views. Children loved visiting the cows.

I got there to find the cottage dubble booked and I couldnât get the owners to answer the phone and the Sykes was closed for the day so I was sitting there with no holiday I eventually got through to the owner and they offered me alternative accommodation but it was I bit difecault for me to get up and down the steps but it was ok on the Saturday I was waiting to get the go ahead to stay in the other cottage and I got through to Sykes and they told me I would get a refund for the Friday and that was that so I got to the other cottage and it was beutfull very nice so I had my holiday and came back home and noticed my offer of a refund was not in my account so I called Sykes and they told me because I was upgraded to a better cottage I would not get the refund so I just say what would have happened if there wasnât another cottage for me and I would have lost my holiday and had to travel back home which is 6 hours away I Iâm disabled so wasnât happy with this

It was clean, very well equipped (apart from a dustpan and brush) and warm. The views from the hot tub are simply stunning and the main selling point of the whole place. Valley view will always have a special place in our hearts xx
