We needed a reset and some relaxation…

We needed a reset and some relaxation time and the Hopi cabin at Cove Valley and the beautiful surroundings certainly delivered!
It was pure bliss relaxing in nature within the tranquil setting.
The cabin had everything we needed and everything was accommodated for. I highly recommend Cove Valley to anyone that's looking for some escapism from the hustle and bustle of every day life.

This was my 3rd time at Cove valley

This was my 3rd time at Cove valley. Each time I stay I find the peace and tranquillity that it promises. Not only can you sit quietly taking in the surrounding of both the expectational cabins and the nature that surrounds you. But you can fill your time with Long walks, deep baths and remarkable encounters with the wild inhabitants.

WOW x

WOW! We have just returned from an amazing few days in the woods.From the start the booking was easy and clear communications with Yolanda about check in, area, things to do and see. We totally switched off to be surrounded by nature. Lovely walks to see the animals. Cabins are just incredible we wanted to pick it up and take it home. Warm cozy everything you need. Wood fired hot tub under the stars. Get booking......

Repeat customer!

Hopi is a beautiful place to retreat to, with amazing views and a great location. The attention to detail is second to none and Katnip and I thoroughly enjoyed our second visit to this unique spot. We will be back!

A magical place

A magical place. We had been wanting to stay here for a while and it was everything we hoped and more. The cabins are beautifully decorated and well thought out. Being swamped by nature is a true detox and we loved the walk around the inspiring rewilding project. Cannot wait to come back!

Truly Magical - a very special place

We stayed in the Hopi Cabin for two nights and it wasn’t long enough! It was the perfect set up, everything beautifully curated and everything you could possibly want. This is a super magical place and the perfect place to recharge. The woodfired outdoor tub was a real highlight, soaking whilst watching the sun set and listening to the dusk chorus! Tickling the iron pigs tummy was another highlight! Can’t wait to come back. Thank you to Yolanda and the team for being so hospitable! X

A hidden gem 💎

This is the second time ive stayed at Cove Valley, one just a few months ago in Hopi, and this time in Chatan with my husband for a mini moon, after our wedding.

It was a perfect escape...

The cabins are exceptional, all done out with quality furnishings, and very thoughtfully designed... feels very different to your usual stay away, everything about this stay was luxurious.

It was great to get up close with the animals.

Very impressive, 100% reccomended.

Thank you for another wonderful stay.

awesome in so many ways..

awesome is the best way to describe this place...

we loaded up with food , drove down to Devon and literally shut ourselves off from the world for 2 days (which felt like 5)

We stayed at Hopi and the facilities are outstanding and to an extremely high level - they have catered for every possible need so you never have to leave...

and dont get me started on those pigs that fall to the floor in front of you and DEMAND a belly rub....

We stayed at Ukai for our honeymoon

We stayed at Ukai for our honeymoon. It was the most peaceful and warming experience, and everything we were looking for in a getaway. The weather wasn’t perfect however that didn’t stop us from hiking to see the animals, being comforted by the fire being on, or enjoying the wood fire bath. All of the finishings are high end, and worked perfectly. Not a fault to find and we will look forward to coming back.

This was our third visit to Cove Valley…

This was our third visit to Cove Valley staying in the new Yurt this time.
We stayed for three nights. The Yurt has everything you could want for comfort and the attention to detail is excellent. It has an extremely comfortable king size bed and the log burner makes it so cosy. The wide open views from the decking and the kitchen area are incredible. We even had Grouse walking by the Yurt.
We did the lovely circular walk that took us through the pine forest out into open paths to see the Stork enclosure, to stroke the very friendly iron age pigs and to get a close up view of the deer.
Everything is so tranquil and we returned home chilled and relaxed – just what we needed. We will be back next year.

Cove Valley is perfect for a short getaway...

Cove Valley is perfect for a short getaway. They have thought of everything and more inside the little cabins and have let nature do the talking outside. Between the unspoilt landscape, friendly pigs, outdoor grill, and hot tub, there is everything you need for a leisurely and peaceful holiday.

Lovely relaxing weekend

We visited Cove valley as a treat to ourselves and we were not disappointed. The Chatan cabin with its rustic charm and tranquil setting was lovely. Setting out on the balcony, enjoying the view, the wood fired bath and meandering with the animals was a joy. We were already planning our next trip before we’d left. We will definitely be back.

Perfect escape & excuse to slow down

We absolutely LOVED our recent stay in Chatan Cove Valley! It is a truly special place, and exactly the ‘escape’ we needed. From the moment you go through the gates the adventure begins, the drive down to Chatan parking is a little experience in itself and not one we were fully expecting, followed by the walk with a wheelbarrow of luggage to the cabin to really give you that sense of leaving your life behind. Recommend arriving in the light if possible!
Chatan cabin itself is rustic but done to the very best of standards & all the fittings/ furniture/ details provided are so thoughtfully selected and each so beautiful. A real getaway. The morning chorus of birdsong is something I won’t forget for a while. Love love love. We will be back I’m sure, would like to try Hopi too! Thank you 🙏
