You’ll be met with a range of accommodations throughout the valley, with many self contained options, not just hotels, up for your choosing. But if there has to be a signature type of shelter in the area, it would be the country cottage style B&B. There are cheaper options too, with some well priced motels offering great value. Your service, food and accommodation will generally be of fairly high quality considering the number of places to stay in the area, all of whom are competing for your business!
