There are cosy open fires in each cottage to enjoy and in the Summer, what better way to finish the day then by sitting and relaxing on the large patio area and reflecting on the days activities, whilst the sun dips down over the moors.

 

There is plenty of off road parking and pets are all made welcome at Valley View - there is the option of a kennel for your dog/s for days when you want to enjoy a days shopping in York. If you want to avoid the shops Tesco's will deliver, however all your shopping requirements can be met at the local market towns of Helmsley and Thirsk.
