Sid Valley Country House Hotel

Outstanding views across the valley from inside our accommodation and places to sit outside. Pool was great, shallow but still able to swim. Welcoming hosts

The property and grounds are very well maintained and exceptionally clean

There was nothing to not like about the property.

We made our own breakfast. Loved the location. Absolutely stunning views and very quiet. Just lovely. Owners are super nice.

Wasn't anything I didn't like but thought having carpet throughout wasn't a great idea. Especially in the dining and kitchen area. Always had to be so careful not to drop or stain anything. At least with tile or wood flooring, you can always wipe up. Bedrooms would be fine. Not sure if improvement can be made, considering location, but wifi and internet very iffy!

Lets start with the great things about the Granary cottage. Really comfortable bed Great shower Nice to have Smart TV’s. The bathroom and kitchen area both look new and the place is very clean. Views are spectacular and the gardens lovely. Steve and Sarah are both lovely people who go out of their way to deal with any problems

Now for the downside The food, although very nice, was seriously overpriced at £55 for 3 courses and I was surprised to be charged extra for water as it was on the table. Although the Granary was self catering, it was attached to a hotel and I had expected the high price to include daily cleaning and linen/towel changes, especially as there was an addition of £75 cleaning fee at the outset, but it wasn’t. We did get fresh towels daily at reception. There is no freezer compartment in the provided fridge, although they did provide us with a plug in mini freezer on request. The sofas, although comfortable, were too low for us oldies. We realised the fridge broke down in the Granary on day 2 as the shopping we bought was warm. They suggested we use the fridge in the Stables cottage and move in there for the remainder of our holiday. The extractor in the bathroom in the Stables didn’t work and with no opening window, we just had to air out the whole place daily. For the 5 nights we stayed, there was only one other couple in the place and so the hoped for possible sociable evenings in the hotel bar were not to be.
