    “We have recently returned from a superb week staying at Buttercups.”

    What an amazing place in a lovely quiet location. The owners Anne and Stewart are brilliant and couldn’t do enough to help. We were greeted on arrival and shown around the accommodation, given plenty of advice of activities and places to go locally as well as a welcome gift of a lovely sponge cake and a bottle of fizz, which we enjoyed on our first evening in the hot tub!

    What an amazing place in a lovely quiet location. The owners Anne and Stewart are brilliant and couldn’t do enough to help. We were greeted on arrival and shown around the accommodation, given plenty of advice of activities and places to go locally as well as a welcome gift of a lovely sponge cake and a bottle of fizz, which we enjoyed on our first evening in the hot tub! The perfect start to a week away. There is everything you could want provided in the kitchen, we managed to cook a full roast on Easter Sunday! There is plenty of space inside and out. Games and books provided also. The hot tub is extremely well looked after and always clean and ready for use, which makes for some very relaxed evenings watching the stars. Anne and Stweart have put together a selection of thoughtful information packs full of things to do and events happening locally and also provided us with extra history around certain areas we were interested in. Thank you very much for a perfect week away, we will definitely be back and look forward to staying again soon. We thoroughly recommend staying at this cottage.
