The Velveteen Bath House Reviews

Alex
The house is lovely and in a fantastic spot, everything we needed was there. The welcome pack was really thoughtfuland the info folder was super useful. Already telling friends about it!
Olivia
We've just come back from our second stay at Velveteenand honestly, it's just as lovely as the first time. The location is perfect-close enough to the coast and charming villages, yet peaceful enough to relax. The house itself is beautifully decorated, with everything we needed for a comfy break. The garden is a real highlight, a lovely spot to unwind with a drink after exploring. We cooked in most nightsand it had all the utensils we could ask for. Definitely a place we'd return to!
Emma W.
This place really felt like a home away from home! The decor and amenities are spot onand our dog was welcome too, which was great. The location is ideal, just a short stroll into town with plenty of lovely shops and eateries. We'll definitely return!

Honestly, this cottage was one of the nicest we've stayed in. It's super dog-friendly with a secure garden, which was great for our pup. The decor and furniture are top-notch, all stylish and very clean. It's a cosy, relaxing spot in a peaceful area, but still just a short walk to Helmsley's pubs, shopsand cafes. We're already planning to come back next year. Lovely place!

Perfect spot for exploring North Yorkshire, honestly! Definitely recommending it.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage! The place was beautifully renovated, with a peaceful garden to relax in. The cinema room and massive kitchen/diner with patio doors opening onto a sunny terrace were real highlights. The hot tub and sauna were perfect after a day out exploring. Plenty of parking too, which is always handy. Just a five-minute walk into Helmsley and surrounded by stunning moors and walks. We'd definitely recommend The Velvet Bath House!

We just got back from a week at this lovely house in Helmsley with the kids and dogand honestly, it was spot on. The decor really gives it a cosy yet stylish vibeand from the moment we arrived, it felt like home.
