My wife and I stayed for 2 nights earlier this week. From the welcome (tea and home made cake in the residents' lounge) to breakfast (including home made bread and preserves), Val looked after us fantastically (whilst also exhibiting her art work in nearby venues). The art work is also on display throughtout the house and in her workshop out... More

We stayed in Val and Gareths' lovely home last weekend (9-12 September), We were made to feel extremely welcome from the very beginning and the artistic feel of their home was fantastic. Both very personable people full of knowledge, their environment reflects this and they allow you to feel welcome in their home. The view from the Long Room was... More

I stayed in the long room in august 2011. The room and ensuite are very modern, well decorated, big, and clean. Downstairs there is a wonderful lounge with woodburner and a tv, DVD and free wifi. If you are staying anywhere near dartington or totnes stay here. I would recommend Velwell to anyone it is that good. The accomodation is... More

We stayed for 3 nights in this beautiful part of South Devon and were delighted by our choice of B&B. We were warmly welcomed by Val and accommodated in a spacious, tastefully decorated and extremely clean en-suite room with great views of the stunning countryside . The breakfasts were a marvellous feast, with emphasis on home made and locally sourced... More

As a family of 4 adults we had a four night stay at Velwell House Gareth & Val were excellent hosts sharing their very special home. Perfection in every way Hospitality, location, rooms and the most wonderful home made food served at breakfast, an incredibly hard act to follow in the future. Absoloutly faultless would thoroughly recommend. More

We have recently returned from a short stay at Velwell House and wanted to reiterate the views of all the previous posters. Trip Advisor is our first port of call when chosing a bed and breakfast and as usual we were not let down. Velwell House deserves all the top reviews. Location wise- if you are looking for a quiet...

We had such a lovely time at Velwell, it has a great location and was beautiful. The rooms were really looked after and the house itself is fantastic with amazing views, we loved all the artwork and indivudal touches around the house. The surrounding area has lots to do and we can't wait to go back! More

Velwell House is by far the best B&B we have ever stayed in. Val And Gareth have this place just right, little touches which put some distance between them and the mediocre rest. Fabulous rooms, amazing views, beautiful art and seriously good breakfast. Home made yoghurt anyone? Fresh fruit compote? Bread baked for you? It's all here. And intelligent conversation.... More

I have just returned from a bank holiday trip with my boyfriend - the house is stunning, with beautiful views over the Devon countryside. Dartington and Totnes are just a few minutes drive away - perfect for visiting Devon. The rooms were clean and spacious and kept to a high standard. Val was very welcoming and went out of her...
