Share videoThe Heart of England / Peak District / Staffordshire region
Valley View is situated in the Peak District National Park one of the most stunning areas of natural beauty in England and the UK. With protected landscapes and wildlife it is a wonderful setting for outdoor activities such as walking and cycling. It is also a great place to experience great local cooking and ingredients - some fantastic pubs with fine local produce and a great pint of English beer are a highlight of any holiday here.
There are some lovely market towns such as Ashbourne and Bakewell with local shops a plenty, picturesque villages with local festivals, historic houses as well as plenty of indoor and outdoor activities for families and groups alike (including horse riding, caving, abseiling, fishing, museums and visitor centres).
Chatsworth House is within an easy drive as well as Haddon Hall (both stately homes have been used as the backdrop for films and TV programmes such as Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre.
The Alstonfield / Milldale area
Valley View is in the heart of great walking and cycling country. Walks along the river Dove are popular for all ages and Dovedale is one of the UK's most loved natural beauty spots. The famous stepping stones are easily accessible from Valley View and in the summer months a picnic is a must.
The Tissington Trail (10 minutes maximum by car or you can cycle there) is a must for cyclists and walkers. Cycle along this once used railway and explore some fabulous Peak District countryside. It's flatter sections are also wheelchair and pushchair friendly and it is a lovely family day out.
Alstonfield is only a short 10/15 minute walk from Valley View and a visit to The George pub should be on everyone's list. The food is superb, with a great choice of beers and wines and there is al fresco dining in the warmer months. Round the back of the pub is a farm shop selling locally produced food as well as wines, beers and more. Why not take some back to Valley View for a group or family meal?
The market town of Ashbourne is only 10 minutes drive from Valley View. As well as the supermarkets (Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, Sainsbury and Co-op), there are two fantastic delis, numerous restaurants, cafes, bistros, pubs and fish and chips. For shoppers there are some lovely local craft shops along cobbled streets and hidden alleys, a wide range of antique shops, gift shops, banks and outdoor shops.

Reviews

Tha accommodation was spacious for an extended family reunion. The furnishings were tasteful and all the plentiful appliances were of a high quality - every need was catered for. The location was fantastic with only a 50 m stroll to the dale itself. We recommend this venue unreservedly and hope to return in the future |

A lovely location located just outside of Ashbourne, surrounded by hills. Wonderful views, set in a small hamlet with Dovedale just a short distance away. The house has all that you need and more, plenty of everything and ideal size for family and friends to have a special break. Because the house is situated in a small community it probably isn't ideal for, shall we say, noisy parties of people. The locals like to keep their peace intact, which is their right after all. We had a lovely time there and the owner was very helpful in recommending local places to eat. |

Valley View had everything we needed to make our large family feel comfortable. The separate annex worked well, as did the two staircases and layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms. The dining room was designed to have large family meals and the kitchen was well equipped and laid out and easy to use. The living room was large enough for 3 games of may jong, cribbage and card games to be played in the evenings. The setting was perfect with the garden and the views and the area offered all we needed for walks, fishing and visits to stately homes. As other members of the family were staying nearby, it was wonderful to have enough space to feed 24 of us together a couple of times and to give such a nice base to enhance our pleasure of being together. it was a real bonus to find such a nice place who was also willing to have our dog. i can wholeheartedly recommend this house. |

It was a beautiful house and very well stocked for a large group. Situated in a beautiful part of the world. The Sky package was very welcome as were the games.

(What we liked about the accommodation). The spotlessly clean accommodation with every appliance and utensil we could possibly need and the huge lounge with spacious seating and log fire (and plenty of logs) were perfect on a misty Sunday.

Spacious house, Derbyshire style kitchen, cottage style but with mod cons, big fridges and lovely garden.
September 2011
Allen group
The big advantages for our party of 10 adults and 6 children ranging from 4 years to 17 were: two bedrooms being isolated from the three other plus having the Annex; a very large entrance hall; a very large and superb lounge area; the facility to dine in the kitchen as well as having a large dining room for our celebration party; the amount of crockery , cutlery, glasses and the size of the cooker meant we were never short of cooking and dining facilities. The large fridge in the utility room in addition to the fridge freezer in the kitchen was a big plus.

Cohen Group
The house could not have been more perfect for our needs. The layout of the house worked absolutely perfectly for us. The sitting room allowed us to have two games of Mah Jong and several card games and cribbage going on all at once. The dining room and kitchen worked well for our large meals. Dovedale is absolutely beautiful, the fishing is great and the surrounding stately homes are gorgeous.

Cowling group
The lounge is a great communal space and the kitchen was well appointed for all our cooking needs. The bedrooms offered good flexibility for guests and I was grateful that you left some extra bedding so that I could swap rooms around when other guests came and went.

The quality of the accommodation was very high. The bedrooms were well appointed, the beds were comfortable, and there was flexibility with double and twin rooms. The cottage was warm, and the downstairs rooms gave lots of room for a large group. The kitchen had everything we needed. The views were fantastic.

The George at Alstonfield is great for lunch and evening meals. Milldale is so beautiful and the walk towards Ilam along the river is suitable for everyone. Saw herons, rabbits, dippers, moorhens, ducks ...............and chickens!

We've had a great time at Valley View, which was just right for us; the rest of the family loved it, and we did all sorts of things in spite of the rain! We may well be back next year - it's so much easier going somewhere not for the first time!
