What our guests say about us....

If i could give more stars i would! Hands down the best place i have stayed, the care and attention to detail is above and beyond. You can see the love and time that has gone into their gorgeous home, gardens and animals. I was blown away with the hospitality, care and thoughtfulness that was put into my stay here. I will be back and will be highly recommending The Vale to all family and friends for a peaceful getaway!

If you want a special place and space to visit with your fur family, this is the place for you! All the special touches are there in a beautiful living space with a most wonderful garden surrounding it for all to enjoy. I would go back in a flash, ws loved it!!!

We had an absolutely delightful stay at The Vale. From the moment you drove through the gates we new we were in for something special. The Studio was stylish and had everything you needed for a wonderful stay. A fully equipped kitchen and plenty of staples provided, plus a wonderful bottle of wine, lovely farm eggs, bread, fresh juice and home made biscuits, fruit and other thoughtful touches ! Great selection of teas and coffee machine too. The highlight absolutely was the divine gardens, and the farm animals - we were lucky enough to be there to see a baby duckling too! The hospitality and warmth the boys showed us was fabulous too. Our little puppy Wilbur was made to feel at home. We will certainly be back. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

The Vale is curated perfection on a picturesque property Really thankful for the wonderful stay, the friendly carers (Jene + Pat ), and the delicious breakfast provisions. Three truly nights wasn’t enough - I know I will be back, more than once and I can’t wait ✨ Highly recommend: - staying AT LEAST 2 nights (so you have time to actually take in the property - the manicured gardens, the cute animals, and just time to appreciate the level of thought and detail that has gone into the place ) - do a shop before you check-in/on your way to the property (for the lunches and/or dinners you’ll be cooking yourself) as there’s no major grocery stores nearby - bring some cash so you can pick-up some DELICIOUS free range eggs and/or home-made jams + chutneys - pop into the local ‘Penrose Village General Store’ for breakky/lunch (their food is great #supportlocalbusinesses). Thank you once again! ✨

What a wonderful place to stay. Getting out of the city and having a few days here to unwind was hassle-free and relaxing. Federico is helpful and communicative. The studio is well-stocked and the fresh eggs were delicious. The property grounds were such a great space for our dog who is used to being indoors. She loved exploring and meeting the alpacas who were very curious and cute! Definitely recommend this place for a quiet & relaxing getaway.

Fredrico’s place is a true escape from all distraction. The thoughtfulness put into the space made us feel so at home. The garden and surrounding land is beautifully kept and we enjoyed meeting the many animals. The fireplace was very cozy during the cold nights and the local produce made for a delicious breakfast. Fredrico was a great host, and gave us wonderful recommendations and advice promptly.
