I loved my stay at the VF hotel. There was a mix up when i arrived, but it was quickly fixed with a short call to the owners from the gal working there in the restaurant (who was extremely friendly and helpful). I loved the convenience of self-check-in and out and having the restaurant and bar underneath, which was amazing. Valley Ford has come a long way since i was raised in the area in the 80s and it is adorable and bustling with quaint eating establishments, the robust market, and the old faithful Denuccis. I will stay here again!

No ac but the open window and fan made it very comfortable quickly. 1864 building that we found delightful but won’t be for everyone! Stairs only to the rooms, comfy bed, no tv.

Bed was comfortable, lightbulb was out by the bed, not a biggie, and the noise from the trucks outside was Loud. Easy to find, parking was good and could definitely smell the nearby cow pastures.

Great little roadside restaurant and hotel

We had a delicious dinner at the restaurant and then headed upstairs to our nice clean room. Our room faced the road so I was surprised how quiet it was. The bed was comfy, the room well appointed, and the amenities were great. We loved our visit to the cheese store for a scone and coffee. We tasted the cheese and ended up buying some to take home. I’m looking forward to staying there again!

This off the beaten path hotel is a must stay. The connected restaurant served up one of the best burgers I’ve ever had ! Historical building with charm. The staff was the best. FYI: everything closes early so get what you need before you get there 👍

Comfortable and quaint.

The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. My only problem was the restaurant that was underneath did not turn off music until after 9. It was supposed to close at 8:30.
