“What a wonderful holiday cottage. We could not fault anything. We had a warm welcome from the owners and the cottage did not. Its well thought through and has everything you could need for a comfortable home from home holiday. Super dog friendly and our two poodles loved the garden. The village is a short walk away and is beautiful with plenty to do and see. We will definitely return to the Velveteen. ”
