Valley view was an excellent place to stay for our week away in Dorset, it was very clean and tidy and well equipped, and although a little out of the way, served as a good base to explore the area. As the cottage was located in a small village, accessing was through narrow country lanes, with passing points. It was circa 23 miles to Weymouth. There were some steps to navigate which would be fine for most people but as we had our elderly mother (93 years) with us, it took some sorting out, providing her support, but she made it up and down each day with some assistance, it would probably help everyone if the limited hand rails could be extended and cover both sets of steps, and maybe some rails in the bathroom There were a couple of minor housekeeping issues which we advised the owner of, very loose toilet seat and the wash hand basin waste appearing to be blocked. The owner was very nice and approachable and seemed to marvel at Mum climbing all the steps.
