Newton Valence holiday rentals

We enjoyed the personal touches and local advice. Quiet location with easy access to local sites and bigger towns.

This property won a "coolest" award from the Guardian and rightly so. It was fantastic!! - and that's not said lightly. At long last, a UK self catering property that bills itself as "luxury" and actually lives up to the moniker. 'Luxury" has is a much abused adjective we've found sadly in our stays. If the devil is in the detail then so must be the delight which hits you from the moment you walk in to be greeted by the loveliest high tea awaiting. The place just smelt gorgeous to start with. The peace and quiet are seriously blissful. From every window - including the fully opening french doors, all you see are fields, trees and green lawns except for the occasional squirrel, pheasant or other wildlife. Vanessa, the host is next door, but you don't have a sense of anyone else being there at all. The kitchen had everything I could imagine needing including some extra helpful basic food items and a Nespresso machine with general amount of pods left. However ... the big ticket sellers - the biggest luxury bathroom we've ever encountered ANYWHERE. Complete with luxy amenities and big beautiful towels. The bed is also extremely comfortable and the bed linens top notch. Every time we turned around there was some really thoughtful little detail to make your stay a bit more relaxing. We kept on saying "wow - somebody thought to include that". There was a yoga mat and hand weights in a cupboard if you please. The bathrobes even fitted perfectly. We did a lot of walks and hikes every day. We didn't use them, but there were at least 4-5 sizes of high quality gum boots just for the purpose. There's a swimming pool available too - but being December we just used our imagination re that. Thank's Vanessa and well done.
