High quality self-catering cottage complex with a two pools

The great thing about The Valley is that it feels like the middle of nowhere, yet you're right outside Falmouth and within easy striking distance of loads of other places in Cornwall, whether it's St Ives of Newquay. It's the perfect place to stay with young children – a large complex of mostly two- and three-bed self-catering cottage properties in all manner of styles. Each is ultra-clean, nicely furnished and well-equipped with kitchens with all mod cons, plus there's free WiFi and lots of books and games. Some cottages are dog-friendly; some have private hot tubs.

The complex itself encompasses a fab restaurant, two swimming pools (outdoor and indoor), a spa and fitness facilities and tennis and squash courts – all in a lovely peaceful location. They also do all sorts of packages, including cycling holidays, and provide pre-bookable welcome hampers. And during the summer holidays and October half-term, there are free activities on site, including archery lessons, exotic animal meet and greet, yoga classes and lots more!

See you again soon!!

We checked out this morning from our stay in a Croft cottage - we’ve already arranged our dates for next year! The accommodation was so clean and welcoming, the nicest holiday house we’ve ever had. The beds were really comfortable, kitchen was well stocked with equipment and the welcome food hamper was filled with lovely local goodies. The daily leaflet through the door giving recommendations of local outings, the weather etc was a fantastic touch. The children loved the pool and playground. The pool booking system actually worked really well. Next time we will try out the squash courts. Lots of toys/games available to borrow from reception which means next time we don’t have to pack so much! An excellent base for a Cornish break but chilling in the lovely cottages is just as enjoyable. The staff were all very friendly and just wanted to say that all the extra touches did not go unnoticed. Halloween cookie decorating for the children and a Halloween hamper was delivered to our door, with pumpkins, carving tools, painting kits, sweets! The kids were so happy!

The most idyllic accommodation

The most wonderful location, accommodation and service. We had a wonderful week at The Valley. The food and amenities were amazing. Beautiful beaches and pubs were all in close distance. We are already looking to return. When we left we were given a lovely goodie bag for our journey home. We have stopped in 5-star accommodation all over the world and I would recommend The Valley to anyone.

Fabulous

At least our third visit. Fabulous place to stay. The cottages are like home from home, located in a beautiful spot with lots of places to visit within a short drive, everything you might need is there and the staff are excellent. We cannot recommend it enough.

Hidden gem

The Valley is ideally situated as a base for visiting Cornwall. It is in a peaceful and secluded location, just outside Truro, and offers spacious accommodation, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts etc.

First class accommodation

This was a return visit with my two dogs. The pet-friendly accommodation is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. There were delightful welcome gifts for me and my poochies. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The location is well-placed for exploring Cornwall. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend

It’s the 1st time we’ve visited Cornwall, but we’re already looking at re-booking for next year. Loved the format of the cottage, having plenty of space inside, and lovely outdoor areas too. Even though the weather was hot & sunny all week the cottage thankfully remained cool at all times. Staff on-site were friendly and helpful at both reception and restaurant/bar. It was really well positioned for our trips out to St Mawes, St Agnes and other places we went to. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of visiting.

Family fun week

We enjoyed our week in cottage number 42. It was very clean & comfortable. It was well-kitted out in the kitchen. We were made very welcome with a lovely welcome pack.

Peaceful and Perfect!

We booked up for a quick Cornish break and were pleasantly surprised at how lovely it was at The Valley. The accommodation was beautiful, clean, well-equipped and comfortable. Loved the layout as the kitchen was on a mezzanine with a balcony overlooking the pool and countryside beyond. Great place to stay if you’re bringing a dog as plenty of woodland walks around the site. Normally my dog takes a couple of days to settle into any holiday accommodation but she was settled almost immediately here. Dog basket, blankets, dog bowl etc all provided too. When you arrive you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but it's actually a brilliant location as smack in the middle of Truro and Falmouth so not lots of travelling involved. A couple of miles down the road is a ferry which costs £10 return to take you to the Roseland area which has stunning beaches and villages. Lovely indoor and outdoor pool, games room, tennis courts etc. In the village of Carnon Downs is a large Spar shop which sells everything so no need to eat out all the time. Feels safe and secure as the resort is gated which is a bonus.

Family holiday

This was our second trip to the Valley. The location, accommodation and general facilities were perfect. We all enjoyed our 10-day stay including our dog and look forward to returning. Thank you to all of the team who were friendly and helpful.

Magical!

Holidays should all be about fun and spending time with the family. Yet, so often, it can be the same routine just in a different place. Not so at The Valley! We've stayed there several times (a couple of times in a Villa Gallery style and more often in a Haven one). You can cook in your own fabulous kitchen or stroll down to the wonderful restaurant (especially good to arrive early for young ones to eat and then let them place with the toy boxes the staff provide and have a grown up dinner a little later). It's wonderfully peaceful but so close to Truro and Falmouth. It really lives up to its 5 star rating. Can't wait to go back.
