Amazing little B&B to just escape and relax. The grounds are so well kept and beautiful, birds everywhere and at night when the sun goes down its a lightshow of glow bugs. Jackie is a sweetheart, and she makes sure you feel rite at home. Honestly I felt like I was visiting grandma's house and wish we could have stayed longer. This is a older style cottage, not fancy or trendy in anyway. But it felt like home. If your looking to just escape and relax with no worries this is the place for you. Will most definitely be back.
During this year, local travel is in vogue. Jacqui's A Valley View in Granton, ON, is a super retreat, "far from the madding crowds" yet close to escapades of St.Mary's and Stratford, and the shores of Lake Huron. It spacious enchanted garden extends into a well established park, while the surrounding acres offer walks, and endless views of fields, forest, river, and sunsets. Bring your own bicycle for riding on side roads and more exploring. Jacqui is a well know artist, and she has a nice way to introduce amateurs like myself to the techniques of painting watercolor. Wishing to relax and do nothing? Sit in the garden and observe amazing birds - blue jays, woodpeckers, cardinals. We will certainly visit again.
The accomodation is like a small bungalow and is surrounded with fountains and bird feeders near the window. We were entertained by the flurry of activity of birds and squirrels. The property is very well kept and is like a small botanical gardens. It is obvious that Jacqui takes great pride in taking care of the property both outside and inside. The kitchen is well stocked. We will definetly return.
My husband and I have spent 3 nights at Valley View B&B...What an amazing place and hospitality! We enjoyed the beautiful location, garden, private trails and the clean apartment that offered all that one can think of...really...We could prepare our breakfasts/ brunches out of all the goodies that were provided by the host. On top of all these, we also enjoyed the conversations we had with Jacqui, that were quite inspirational and uplifting :-) We'll certainly visit again.
This is my 4th visit in 9 years! I would come on a more frequent basis if I didn’t reside on the West Coast of Canada ! I adore the location, the well stocked kitchen, the washer/dryer, the garden setting, the squirrel gymnastics outside my window, the myriad of birds that I try to identify thanks to Jacquie’s book, the comfort & safety, the windows I can open, the A/C I can use, the wifi, every 5th night free & last but not least.....Jacquie’s Phenomenal Hospitality! I can’t wait until my next visit! Wonder what The Stratford Theatre Festival will be offering then?
This B&B is perfect to get away from the noise and have all the privacy you would have in your home sans kids. The kitchen is so well stocked there is nothing to be wanted. I took advantage of the coffee cake several times along with cooking breakfast at our leisure. We'll be back when we schedule another trip.
We stayed there this past weekend for a wedding and weren't disappointed! The grounds are so beautiful and well kept! We enjoyed sitting in the garden to have coffee in the morning, while watching the birds. The apartment itself was very clean. The fridge was well stocked with breakfast items and we like the convenience to cook when we wanted. There were plenty of linens/ towels for the 4 of us. It was very nice to have the air-conditioning as well with the heat wave. We were also pleasantly surprised to see there was shampoo, an iron and blow-dryer, which were items we figured we would have to bring ourselves. We felt so relaxed after the weekend and would definitely recommend it!
What a Wonderful Retreat!! You don't just get a bedroom, you get a whole apartment! And the ability to make breakfast how and when you want is most enjoyable and convenient. The apartment is spotless and comfortable, we were provided with more than ample food (and choices), and the environment is so beautiful and serene. We loved sitting watching the wide variety of wildlife that came to visit, and the available hiking trails are very easy to navigate. Jacqui is a most gracious host, a wonderful source if information and a true pleasure to talk with. She was always available if we needed anything, but was never intrusive, so we always felt like we had our own private retreat. We will definitely be back!
Beautiful property secluded , wonderful grounds, complete apt, kitchen, Living Room, separate Bedroom, full amenities, very clean and comfortable. nice walking trails. Close to town. Great hospitality..."
Our stay at your B&B was fun, relaxing and therapeutic. The view from the livingroom is amazing. We watched all kinds of beautiful birds feeding from the bird-feeder right outside the large window. Kitchen was loaded with food, place was very clean and Jacqui was the most pleasant host.
