-hosts were delightful but intrusive (could have had instructions to hand out so check - in is brief) -area is NOT separate from their living area, they need to install doors to separate sound and give privacy -interrupted us twice while we were trying to relax -dog barked a lot even in the middle of the night - large not people friendly dog should be gated in at least their area - could hear them upstairs while we were trying to sleep (TV, footsteps) - told that if we chose other room that we would hear the host making breakfast -told that we might be woken up late by flashing lights bec the host is walking the dog (we heard barking) - very clean, lovely view, kind people but just not private or relaxing

Lovely hosts, had a nice welcome and were provided some interesting background info on the property. Thorough tour of our accommodations and common spaces and fun anecdotes about decor choice and got a great sense of the fun, warm personality of the hosts. Super cool fish tank in the dining/sitting room is a nice feature. Breakfast was so nice, and the view from the common area and the Grandview room were a treat to wake up to. Absolutely would stay here again. Clean space run by super accommodating, kind family who really look after you and make you feel welcome every second of your stay. A pleasure.

We stayed last Sunday night and enjoyed the room, facilities, and the phenomenal breakfast and conversation with Martin and Petra. Petra in particular is a local expert on things to do so pick her brain! Much can be said but keeping it short, I will say that you get more than advertised, which is amazing! We wanted to stay the Monday (Thanksgiving) evening too but it was already booked up. That pretty much sums it up. We will be back God-willing! Thank you Martin and Petra!

Very nice B&B with great hosts
Martin and Petra are great hosts. They make you feel like it truly is your home and you've known them for years. The room was exactly what was pictured; clean, well maintained, with a comfortable bed. My wife's and my careers have a lot of stress attached, and it was the first truly good night's sleep we've had in ages. Food is locally sourced, where possible. They are beekeepers as well, so try some of their honey. What they are not, in spite of what you may read elsewhere, are mink farmers. Apparently an over-zealous animal-rights group took video of a local farm and then gave a bunch of one-star ratings around for the B&B. That's too bad, because they are unrelated businesses owned by different people. So, don't believe everything you read. Or, more importantly, if you see anything less than a 5 star rating for this place, go farther back into the reviews than February 2018, when their B&B was spammed by this group to read what people had to say that actually stayed here. You'll be glad you did.

Our Valley View B&B is the best we've experienced!
The directions and signs were excellent and easy to read from the road. The view is lovely and you feel relaxed the moment you step out of your vehicle. The B&B was clean, neat, comfortable, and extremely well equipped with everything you could desire for your stay. The breakfast - Amazing! Home made full breakfast with fresh fruit and baking. Thank you Martin and Petra. A lovely stop along the way.

Thank you Carolyn for your kind words and the great breakfast discussions. If we are aware of physical handicaps, we do accommodate the guests by serving breakfast in the B & B sitting area. I also would have suggested the Canadiana suite with the large step in shower stall instead of the Grand View deep soaker tub. Hopefully we can accommodate you once again!

Great B&B with Excellent Hosts
Stayed here for one night in the 'Canadiana' room while attending an event nearby and everything was exceptional! The hosts were very enjoyable people and were extremely accommodating of any request we had. Breakfast in the morning was wonderful and accompanied by delightful conversation from the hosts. Looking forward to staying there again!!

Quiet, peaceful location
The accommodations were as described with the guest area in the lower section of a side-split home and therefore somewhat separate from the rest of the house, each with self-contained bathrooms. The food was very good, freshly made. The hosts are friendly and gracious.

We Will be Back
We had a great stay at Petra and Martin's B and B. The view is the first thing that you will notice when you arrive. Very scenic. The room was very clean with a very comfortable bed. My husband loved the soaker tub. The breakfast was fabulous. We had fresh asparagus quiche with a bacon crust. There were warm blueberry muffins, fresh fruit, and a museli porridge. There was even honeycombs from the owner's bee hives. Petra was kind enough to fill up my husbands thermos to take on the road with us. We really enjoyed our stay and will do so whenever we pass through the area. I highly recommend this B and B.
