Glamping at Valley View – Reviews

A selection of comments and reviews from guests who have enjoyed the glamping experience at Valley View

What a find!  This was our first glamping experience and it was so comfortable.  The tents are beautifully kept and the kitchen was immaculate.  We loved exploring the grounds and the treehouse is brilliant.

We had a nice breakfast  at Miller’s Farmshop and evening meals at the Pilot in Lyme.

We will be recommending this wonderful place and hope to return soon.

What a beautifully set up glamping experience.  We really appreciated your clear attention to detail; those little touches that make all the difference and make for such a warm welcome.  Thanks so much.

The children especially loved the spaces you have created for them.  It has been truly magical for them.  Thanks so much

“Very well appointed, high quality equipment, very comfortable indeed.  True glamping!  Lovely location, good walks, very convenient for Lyme, Cobb, beach, etc.

Very honoured to be the first guests!  Really enjoyed our stay.  I loved all the little touches – blankets made from recycled bottles, especially – thanks so much!”

Thank you, Jill, for your warm hospitality.  Me and the girls had a fantastic break and a well-deserved unwind from our hectic lives.  We’ll be back soon.

Such a beautiful setting!  Thank you so much for thinking of everything.  The campsite is very well equipped and exploring the area and finding the swings and treehouse was a real treat.  We would love to come again and stay on your wonderful farm.

Thank you for your warm welcome, Jill.  We felt at home on the day of our arrival.  We were amazed by the beautiful scenery, and we were able to take a walk to Lyme Regis and back.  The tent and kitchen are well equipped.  I imagine the tent is cosy even in the spring and autumn.  The fairy lights and lanterns made the glamping experience complete.  Many thanks.

PS the girls told me I forgot to mention the fantastic swing and hammock!

We all had an amazing stay in Badger.  The beds were comfortable and cosy.  The kitchen had everything we could ask for.  We particularly enjoyed having early morning coffee listening to the cows.

We definitely hope to return!

We had a great stay! The glamping is clearly designed with attention to detail. Especially the electric blankets were a great addition, as well as the treats.
We also enjoyed the fossil walk with Mike. Thanks to his knowledge, we found several fossils. Thanks a lot!

Absolutely wonderful.  We had the best stay.  Tents are beautifully kept with wonderful touches – same for the kitchen and bathrooms.   Jill is a wonderful host and helps with anything you need.  We had a lovely walk around the nature reserve and enjoyed exploring the grounds.

We will be back.  Thanks so much.

Friendly, kind, approachable host.  What a well thought out glamping experience.  Everything we needed was provided.  We enjoyed being able to be so close to nature.  Children loved freedom of the orchard and surrounding area (especially the swing).  We appreciated the blackcurrant wine!!  Thank you, Jill

A fantastic stay in Rabbit; thank you so much for your friendly hospitality. I can honestly say it was our first glamping experience and certainly won’t be our last; we felt thoroughly spoilt.  You have an amazing site: it’s beautiful and everything you could ever need is provided.  It was such a pleasure meeting you and Lucy – we had a great time with her in the pottery shed.  I think Neil is hooked!  He said he can’t wait to do it all again.

> Thank you for letting us stay longer –  that was very kind of you. I only wish we’d come for a week.

Jill was a fabulous host and made us feel so welcome.  We were unlucky with the weather, but were able to visit Lyme Regis and see the sea!  Badger had everything we needed for a cosy and comfortable stay.  Thank you so much.  We’ll be back!

Wow, wow, wow!  This was our first go at staying in a bell tent, and it’ll be hard to beat!  Thank you so much, Jill and her team, for such a lovely warm welcome (back) to East Devon.  Great views from the top of the farm, immaculate facilities, fabulous ginger biscuits and really comfy beds.  Can’t wait for our next visit!

William: Staying here was very fun, as there were lots of things to do, such as: go on the swings, play swingball and explore the area.  Would love to come again.

We have had a fantastic weekend break – thank you.  Jill has been the most thoughtful and kind host.  We arrived in the dark, and Jill helped us to our tent.  The little, thoughtful touches are very welcoming.  Local produce, guinea fowl and quail eggs, beautiful views and spot-on facilities.  Even electric blankets to warm our beds.  We will definitely be coming again!

We had such a lovely weekend.  The tent was comfortable and we all slept very well.  Jill was so kind and helpful throughout our stay.  The views from the top of the garden were beautiful.  We would definitely come here again.  It is the most comfortable I have ever felt camping, and I am convinced the bed is comfier than mine at home!  Thank you, Jill.

Mole has been a pleasure to stay in for our 2-night mini-break away.  The facilities are amazing and it’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into everything to ensure guests are well looked after.

Although both nights we were here were very wet, we were plenty warm enough – the electric blankets are incredible!  The bed was extremely comfortable, took the idea of glamping to a new level.

The kitchen area is very well stocked, plenty of crockery, cutlery, glasses, etc – it was a pleasure to cook our dinner using the counter-top oven.  Also it was nice to have a designated fridge and cupboard space.  Lastly, the toilet and shower pod was absolutely immaculate!

Jill has been an incredible host: very quick in responding to any query, greeted us during our stay, checked how everything was and even rescued our clothes, which were out drying when it started to rain.

We would highly recommend Valley View to everyone, particularly Mole, and we will most definitely be planning a return visit.  Thank you.

Jill is an absolutely brilliant hostess.  So friendly, warm and kind.  She went out of her way to make us feel super welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed our first glamping experience.  Such lovely additional touches too, when we received cider, fresh eggs, biscuits and marmalade!  The electric blankets kept us warm and we loved toasting marshmallows around the fire.  Thank you so much, Jill.  We will definitely be back again.

Thank you for a wonderful stay.  Mole is an extremely comfortable glamping experience.  The tent is gorgeous and the facilities are brilliant.  The children loved having the run of the orchard, wildflower meadow and nature reserve.  It’s a stunning location and great for visiting this lovely part of the world.  Many thanks!

Loved it from the moment we got here.  Great base camp at Badger tent.  The nature reserve and tree house are great.  We played tennis at dusk and toasted marshmallows under the stars.  We had everything we needed.  Wonderful time.  Thank you, Jill.

Thank you, Jill, for a wonderful stay. We had a great time. Thank you for looking after us so well! Brilliant kitchen and shower room setup. We had some great barbecues and fires in the fire pit. Fabulous location for all weather. When rainy, we enjoyed the Caves at Beer, the Donkey Sanctuary, and cream teas and the cinema in Sidmouth. Lots of lovely beaches for the sunshine and rock climbing. Thanks again, Jill, for looking after us so well.
Thank you, Jill, for a great time camping! This must have been my favourite time camping, and I would give it a 5 thumbs up. I especially love the tree house, nature reserve and horses. Thank you for being so kind to us.
