Valley Manor

Valley Manor is a Grade II* listed Georgian manor house dating from 1320, set within nine acres of countryside in the Vale of Glamorgan. The house has been continuously occupied and cared for over centuries, and now operates as a whole-property rental where up to 16 guests have the run of the place. Seven individually designed bedroom suites come with eight bathrooms between them, plus dining rooms, sitting rooms and other communal spaces spread across the building.

The estate itself includes sweeping lawns, a walled garden, woodland with a rookery, a productive kitchen garden and a folly. The views reach across to the Glamorgan Heritage Coast and the sea beyond. On-site parking is available, and essentials like electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are covered in the rental. One well-behaved pet is welcome. The property does not permit smoking indoors.

Large family gatherings, milestone celebrations and group holidays are what this manor is designed for. Nearby you'll find local beaches, the Wales Coastal Path for walking, and Cowbridge, a historic market town with shops and restaurants, all within easy reach for days out.
