 There
is evidence of a cottage being on the site since 1606. Velvet Cottage
itself was built about one hundred and fifty years ago and has been
owned by the present family since 1920. It's position on Abbey Terrace
affords magnificent views out across Valle Crucis (Valley of the Cross)
towards the Horseshoe Pass in the distance. The cottage was built with
local slatestone and the thick walls offer insulation in the Winter and
welcome coolness in the height of Summer.
 Velvet Cottage has been recently modernised and is equipped to the
highest specifications. It has been graded 3 Star by VisitWales.
The
downstairs room floors are covered in the original terracotta quarry
tiling. Over the years the floor has been protected by carpet coverage
and as a result it is in immaculate condition. The living room ceiling
features the original oak beams, painted black in traditional Welsh
style.
The extensive garden features lawns, flower beds and heather bushes. It
is enclosed by access gates and is quite safe for children to play in.
