The hotel was old, cozy, and charming. I actually liked that there wasn't a tv in the room. We couldn't get wifi on the ipad, but could on our android phones. I would have thought that would be the other way around. No cell signal, but when we asked to call home and check on the kids they were happy to provide us with a land line. In short, the staff was friendly and helpful, the restaurant was very good, the room was comfy. It was the perfect getaway near the coast and away from it all.

Stayed one night at the Valley Ford Hotel. Check in is a little weird since you do it at the bar and checkout is very casual. The rooms were small, but nice and comfortable. The toiletries were great in the bathroom. Also, having GREAT coffee and water in the hall was a nice plus. We were there on a Thursday night, which is also dollar oyster night at the restaurant. The meal was very enjoyable. I would definitely stay there again!

I had eaten at the restaurant on a previous trip so I knew what to expect with the food, which would be excellence. The room, for as sparsely appointed as it was, suited my needs perfectly. I didn't need television. I just needed a comfortable bed to sleep in and a place to take a hot shower after long days. My room was that in every capacity. I also liked having access to the coffee whenever I felt like a cup. When I finally checked out, I really didn't know where to leave my keys. No one was there to hand them off to. Not an issue. I just left them in the room. I would definitely stay here again. For the money this was exactly what I would expect.

Very relaxing stay - nice small hotel. Bar was downstairs, but the hotel was very quiet by 10pm Friday night. Restaurant very good (dinner only). Good cafe for breakfast just down the street.
4.0 out of 5Great for romantic get away.

Charming bed and breakfast near some great countryside and convenient for travel to some great beaches. They have robes for you to enjoy and well maintained rooms. Our only complaint is, due to a moderatly late arrival (8:30), we missed the staff and a key was just left out.
2.0 out of 5Not that impressed
August 03, 2012
When we arrived the owners I guess take off Monday &Tuesday off so there was no one to check us in if there had not been people on the deck to tell us our envelope with our key was on the outside bench we would have left and been charged for the room! We did find a fabulous Italian resturant right down the street but the hotel failed to mention it and instead recommend Resturants down the road or their resturant that was closed. When we booked they failed to tell us that they would not be there or that their resturant would not be open. The only good part about the stay was the great Italian resturants down the road
4.8 out of 5A great place to stay.

I had no idea what to expect when we arrived. But it turned out to be fabulous. Our hosts were attentive meeting every request with a smile. The food in the restaurant was outstanding. I will recommend this place to all of my friends.
