What our guests say about us....

The Vale at Penrose is a delightful place to stay in the midst of a stunning garden! (complete with chickens, ducks, two alpacas and sheep). The accommodation is wonderful, and Federico has included lots of lovely touches to make it extra special....homemade cookies and welcoming music on arrival, facilities to make fresh bread, fresh eggs from the chickens for breakfast etc. etc. The garden is delightful to stroll around or sit and relax, and we loved watching all the birdlife that was attracted. We had a wonderful stay...Highly Recommended.

Our stay at the Vale was absolutely amazing! For our first air bnb experience and I don’t think this experience can be topped! We were greeted by their two little old puppers jake and jimmy who were adorable and so friendly. The hosts Frederico, Chris and Dave were such lovely hosts so easy to communicate with and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome to their property and special as guests. We were able to bring our cavalier who was welcomed as well and he had a great time. Their to attention to detail and lovely personal touches like home baked bread and cookies, a great breakfast, chocolates on your pillow and stocked fridge and pantry made us feel so special and pampered. It was so much more than what we expected and so much nicer than expensive hotels we’ve stayed in. We felt so relaxed and at home.The guest house was beautiful, amazingly designed and modern with a lovely fireplace. The farm animals were so cute to see and their gardens were spectacular around the whole property. I’ve never seen such a lovely garden. Lots of lovely photo opportunities! We will definitely be coming back. Thanks so much for having us. Jess, Josh and Toby

Absolutely stunning place to stay, would highly recommend. Beautiful private space with everything you could want and more, everything has been thought of - and stunning gardens just outside.

Thankyou Frederico for a wonderful retreat for Sara & i for our two night stay. It was the perfect getaway for us & everything we imagined. We loved everything about the space, & the little touches including the fridge full of all the things we needed for breakfast, especially the fresh eggs from your property, just helped make it such a memorable weekend. The serenity of the location & the beauty of the walk around your gardens was absolutely sublime. We will certainly be recommending you to all our friends and family & look forward for our next retreat.

Federico’s place is amazing - something out of Better Homes and Gardens. It’s so modern and has all the amenities required. Loved seeing the animals in the back, it’s the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life. Only regret is not getting a pack of the fresh eggs they had on offer! Definitely would stay again next time we’re down in the area. Thank you again Fed, Chris & David!

This place is absolutely stunning. Beautiful gardens and animals - it’s a brilliant place to unwind and relax. David and Federico are wonderful hosts as well. They’re very responsive and have included lots of lovely extras in the room including fresh farm eggs, fresh bread and everything you need for a hearty breakfast. Couldn’t recommend more highly! Will be back soon.
