Welcome to Valley View Farm, we are so fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful walks in the Somerset Mendips, apple orchards, country farms and farm shops, not to mention the quaint villages that dot these rolling hills, it is the most idyllic setting. However; we are most excited about our NEWTS !

We have a small pond below the veranda, and for the past several years, more and more newts have been calling it home. I have identified three types of newts including the Great Crested Newt which is protected in the UK. So now I usually spend my morning coffee time on the steps watching my friends swim around and hide under rocks and logs. I hope they stay with us and our Bed and Breakfast guests enjoy them as much as I do. FYI… did you know a newt can live up to 25 years !
