The Sid Valley Country House Hotel is an incredibly special place to stay. We had the warmest of welcomes from Sarah, Steve, and Benson. Nothing was too much trouble, and the attention to detail in the accommodation was fantastic. This is a perfect place for nature lovers, and bird watchers to come and stay. The views are stunning, beds are comfortable, and self catering lodges are spacious and well designed. Highly recommended, cant wait to come back.

We have stayed at the Sid Valley twice this year and have been delighted by the first class welcome, the cleanliness and luxury of the bedrooms. The garden and pool were lovely too and Steve and Sarah treated us like long lost family which made the stay all the better. If you’re lucky enough to get Steve to cook the food is excellent too. Hopefully they’ll have us back again very soon!
