The name turns out to be accurate: the garden looks straight down the valley. No. 2 Valley View Cottage takes four at Blakeney, dog friendly, with a bedroom and a bathroom down on the ground floor, and a private enclosed garden holding a table and a charcoal barbecue. Two dogs are welcome. A downstairs bedroom in a cottage this size is unusual, and it is what sets this one apart from its neighbours.

Everything a dog needs sits on one level here. It comes in from outside, dries off where the people are, and sleeps in a room somebody can reach without going near a staircase, which counts for a great deal at either end of an animal's life. Four people fit across the two bedrooms, and indoor games take care of the dark hours.

It stands in a small group of cottages, and the enclosed garden belongs to this one alone, and that is what counts when two dogs go out last thing at night. There is water nearby for anybody who fishes. What the position really gives is height: forest above, valley below, and a view doing the work of a far larger property.

Up into the trees 2.5 miles, Mallards Pike is a pair of lakes with a level path around them and conifer standing right to the water, which is the walk for a day when nobody has the legs for a hill. New Fancy lies further on, a colliery spoil heap grassed over and turned into a viewpoint across the whole forest, with a raptor watch running on it in spring. Two dogs get the lakes.
