Cosy retreat
Lovely cosy retreat, a home from home, well equipped with everything you would need. Central to lots of attractions/places to visit. Booking was seamless and communication with Sam from start to end was great. Have no hesitation in recommending the River Valley Retreat.

Excellent!
This was place is as outlined in the pictures. Spotlessly clean, very modern and everything seems brand new and out of the box. The place isn’t the largest but doesn’t have to be any bigger as whoever designed it did so fantastically using ever inch to its full potential. We stayed early Sept and it can get cold of an evening however we had the use of the heating which we didn’t use. Excellent, fantastic, 100% would book again if Sam would have us!
