Second time at Valley Pines and would recommend to anyone, cleanliness was good but the main carpet was looking tired, it needs ant powder on the patio as they were out in force (especially on flying ant day) but it is a lovely bungalow and will be back I only dealt with Sykes via online but it was quick and easy

The owner has finished the property to a very high standard and the Beds are extremely comfortable ( not always the case)! A fabulous Welcome Pack which included our special request for a certain type of bread ( much appreciated). With so many extras incl tea, coffee, sugar cleaning products and a well stock Laundry room in garage with a Tumble Dryer. The owner and his family were SO welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. They are the 5 star addition to this property and we will be returning to this Little Gem.
