5 STAR LUXURY COTTAGES AT THE VALLEY

All our accommodation has been awarded the coveted English Tourist Board 5 star rating, with added Gold award for outstanding levels of achievement.


The Valley is rated by the English Tourism Coucil each year. We have been awarded 5 stars every year since 2005 for the quality and cleanliness standards in our luxury cottages and, in addition, in 2008 were awarded the prestigious Gold Award.



5 Star

The Quality Rose is the mark of England’s official, nationwide quality assessment scheme and is an independent, reliable, impartial assessment of quality covering just about every type of place you might want to stay. Think of the Quality Rose as your personal guarantee that your expectations will be met.

The objective quality ratings give you a clear indication of accommodation standard, cleanliness, ambience, hospitality, service and food. Using a clear star rating system (1-5 stars), they provide the reassurance you need about what to expect before you arrive. Generally, the more stars the higher the level of quality.

'5 star: The highest standards of quality and service with a feeling of luxury. All rooms will be ensuite or have a private bathroom.'




Gold Awards

VisitEngland recently announced a new Gold award for its self-catering businesses.  The awards have been given to the top scoring 5-star properties.

VisitEngland’s unique Gold and Silver awards are given in recognition of exceptional quality within a property's star rating.

An assessor uses his or her experience and benchmarking knowledge to recognise excellent and exceptional standards. Silver is awarded to establishments that outperform their quality rating and Gold represents ‘the best of the best’.  So visit The Valley and experience the best of the best in 5 star luxury self catering accommodation.
