Cove Valley Arvostelua 96

Stayed in Hopi. Had an amazing time. So nice and quiet. Cabin was nice and clean. Lovely with the wood burner on. Did the walk and saw 5 deer and 2 wild boar, bit muddy but part of the fun. Had lovely meal at The Lost Kitchen on the Saturday. Hopefully be back later in the year.

We stayed in Chattan early January 2025 and it was more than we could have expected. The cabin is beautiful, in the most secluded woods of Cove Valley perched up on stilts. The cabin is on two floors with the bedroom upstairs and beautiful views out over the valley. As a bit of an interiors lover I was blown away by the decor which is designed in collaboration with Ham interiors. There was a yoga mat for me to do Pilates each morning, dressing gowns, hairdryer and many kitchen amenities for us to cook each day. You do want to bring enough supplies to be able to stay in each night since it’s very secluded. We probably brought more belongings than anyone ever has which made our journey up to chattan a little strenuous with the wheelbarrow but ultimately it was good exercise and worth what we brought! Lots of food and games and books and cozy things. There is scrabble and books at the cabin if you don’t bring your own. The walk round the valley was so stunning I felt like I was in a fairy tale. And we were here during terrible January weather - yet we loved every minute of it. Thanks for the most wonderful stay when we really needed a recharge and Yolanda you are the most helpful and kind host. We can’t wait to come again.

Great stay at Chatan which is a cabin raised up into the woods, well equipped and the outdoor log fired bath is perfect for sitting out on a cold evening. The wildlife within the reserve is great. The walk up from the Car was not so much fun on our visit, very wet and muddy and a bit difficult for us in our older years, but once inside it was heaven

The perfect woodland getaway! Nested in the trees, our little cabin made us feel as if we were the only people for miles! The cabin itself was just the right size and the perfect combination of rustic but with beautiful details and decoration. It had the perfect balance of creature comforts (electric heating and WiFi) and a remote getaway. Set against a backdrop of golden autumnal foliage, it was truly magical and relaxing! Leaving was extremely difficult! We can’t recommend it enough!

We had a brilliant stay at Chatan which is a cabin raised up into the trees. The cabin is really well equipped and the outdoor log fired bath is perfect for sitting out on a cold evening to listen to the sounds of nature. The wildlife within the reserve is great to see and there are longer trails outside the valley to explore as well. There is a short walk up a track from the car park which in wet weather can get muddy but this just adds to the sense of isolation and peace within the valley.

Cove Valley is the most beautiful place my partner and I have stayed in the UK (and we’ve stayed in some nice places!). It was the perfect city getaway and included everything we could have needed.

Yolanda and her partner were lovely and extremely accommodating making our stay even more enjoyable.

The views are stunning, the hike trials around their property are phenomenal and seeing their wildlife and especially Storm, the buck, on a morning walk was breathtaking. It was so perfect I couldn’t resist but to propose on the porch as the sun went down and red deer on the horizon… thankfully she said yes!

We will be back as soon as possible and cannot wait to stay in the other amazing cabins.

Thank you so much and see you soon!

Truly exceptional experience that exceeded all expectations. As an interior stylist, I was blown away by the attention to detail and quality of the cabin! Everything was what you would expect to find in a 5* luxury hotel. And the location was bliss. Total seclusion in the most tranquil setting. The pizza night was also superb, and the amenities were so lovely (heated outdoor bath!). Without a doubt book this place if you are at all contemplating doing so. You won’t regret it!

Cove Valley is the perfect place to rest and reset. Surrounded by nature, the cabin was beautifully designed and had everything we could have needed. The wood fired bath is a really special feature which allowed to really immerse ourselves in the surroundings, with only the sound of bird song and the nearby stream. We loved exploring the estate and meeting the animals, especially the friendly pigs!
Overall Cove Valley is a magical place and we can’t wait to come back! We couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

My husband and I spent 2 nights in Ukai and had the most magical time. Nestled in the most beautiful secret valley, it was so peaceful, the only sounds being birdsong and the babbling stream. We were able to switch off and relax as soon as we arrived. The cabin has been thoughtfully designed to fit in with the landscape and has everything you need including a fabulous outside bath.
A highlight was meeting the very friendly pigs who came running up to say hello and rolled over to have their tummies rubbed.
It was everything we could have asked for and I’m sure we’ll be back!

My husband and I have had an amazing stay at Cove Valley staying in the Chatan it was a first time experience for us and we have enjoyed it so much we have already re booked for next year!

The cabin is lovely with everything provided, the wild life is beautiful and the peace and quiet is just what we both needed away from everything.

I would absolutely recommend this wonderful haven of tranquillity and beauty.

A beautifully designed, calming space to relax and unwind in. You have to like being in the wilderness to stay here but it suited us down to a t!

We stayed in ukai for our 25th anniversary it was amazing! So cosy and beautifully decorated with every detail thought of, the bed is so comfortable. Our first day see saw a majestic stag, deers and wild pigs. Idilic walks around the grounds with breathtaking scenery. A cosy peacful retreat from it all, With lots to do around the local area and beautiful beaches a short drive away.

Tranquility and peace.

Just the most wonderful stay in Ukai.
Ending the day with a soak in the hot tub listening to only the sounds of nature.

Comfy bed and everything we could need.

Definitely bring your walking boots and comfies to enjoy everything around you.

We'll definitely be back!

Really enjoyed our stay here. Excellent location and the cabin, the land, the animals were all perfect. Great service from the hosts too. Will recommend and visit again without question.

We had the loveliest weekend staying in ukai. Everything has been so carefully thought through to ensure you are comfortable while still being surrounded by nature. We spent every evening in the hot tub, with a glass of wine, under the stars listening to the owls. We can’t wait to come back!

Everything about this place is beautiful!

We celebrated my husband Chatan's 40th birthday at a wonderful forest retreat owned by Yolanda and Ben. The cabin was so beautifully decorated, and the hot tub was just perfect for relaxation. In just a couple of days, we were lucky enough to see woodpeckers, hares, wild pigs, deer, wild horses, and longhorn cows. I would highly recommend taking a walk around the entire area. Thanks to Yolanda's kindness and quick responses, we're already looking forward to our next visit.

Hubby booked Hopi for our anniversary, he usually pulls this stuff out of the bag and this was no exception. Absolute heaven, beautiful cabin in stunning location surrounded by beautiful views and not a single other soul, perfection! Comfy bed, luxurious toiletries, soft fluffy towels, delicious milk, bread, butter and even marshmallows to toast on the fire. We spent two very peaceful and totally relaxing nights and made the most of the wood fired hot tub watching the sunset and got up close and personal with some deer while walking through the valley. This place is a little bit of heaven and we throughly enjoyed our stay. We left feeling totally relaxed and refreshed. I will recommend to friends and to those reading reviews to see if you should book, go ahead and treat yourself you will love it!

Thank you for an amazing break, perfect!

Amazing cabins, serene setting and brilliant for wildlife. Easily the best place we've ever stayed. Yolanda and Ben were very helpful and welcoming. We will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful place, secluded, so you feel far from civilization. Perfect place to escape from reality. Very well equipped, with everything you need to cook something. Very comfortable bed and great shower with very good pressure. Hot tub is excellent with mega good water pressure, so filling the tub takes literally 2 minutes. We used it every day, great idea to install it there. We stopped in Ukai, Hopi is next on our list. Will definitely want to return there.

The road to Ukai is scary at first, lots of ups and downs, but you can get used to it. We will definitely recommend this place to family and friends. We had a very successful stay.
