| Previous Visitors' Comments | In "Vetlanda" we have found a little gem. First class accommodation within easy access of some spectacular scenery. I can't think of another cottage I have rented before where the owner has taken the time to bake a "Welcome" chocolate cake, leave a pint of milk in the fridge for a "cuppa" on our arrival and give us a bunch of fresh flowers. In turn we got on with enjoying the good weather and surrounding area. Thank you for a great time!

Apr 2009 | We had a wonderful stay at Vetlanda. The cottage is of a very high standard and beautifully furnished. Newtonmore was a very good base and close to some lovely spots for walking. We will definitely be back!

Mrs Grogutt, Norwich, Norfolk
Dec 2008 | I cannot praise this property highly enough. When we arrived there was a cake on the table with 'welcome' piped on the top! The quality of the decor and furnishings were without doubt better than I have experienced in any other holiday property. The location was ideal for walking or general sightseeing. An all round ideal holiday home.
