Absolutely perfect for a family holiday. The little playground on the farm was ideal for our child, and the cottage itself was warm, well-insulated, and very comfortable. We really appreciated the free use of the washing machine and tumble dryer too. The owner was lovely and took great care of us. Highly recommend if you’re looking for somewhere peaceful and remote.

Brilliant stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was a great base to travel to Dorset and Devon. It was a tranquil location and our kids loved the garden and swing etc. Our kids (16 months old and 5 years) never slept so amazingly! Highly recommend.

Heaven in Devon

Buttercup cottage is an exceptional venue. We stayed for a month and did not wish to leave. Our stay was over the November / December period when there was snow on the ground and the wood burner made the whole accommodation feel warm and welcoming. Will definitely return in the summer if the cottage is available. Tony was a brilliant host, pure magic.

Clean, quiet and very rural

The cottage was mostly very well equipped, clean and tidy, in the midst of steeply rolling countryside, reached by narrow rutted lanes. We enjoyed visiting nearby towns and the tram ride to Seaton. We found driving down the lanes to and from the cottage quite challenging.

Absolutely amazing!

I cannot say enough good things about our stay at Buttercup Cottage. The cottage itself is beautiful and very cosy. It has been very thoughtfully put together and there are some lovely inclusions which make it a perfect home away from home. Our son thoroughly enjoyed the garden and play items available for use. The property is in a great location for visiting the surrounding area and the hosts are wonderful. We will definitely be booking to stay here again and urge anyone considering booking to do so - you won't regret it!

Our stay at buttercup cottage

We had a lovely time on our 5 day stay, this is a basic, small property but with everything you could need! Clean, tidy and well equipped, the children loved having puzzles to do and the outside play equipment to explore (although this is round the back of the property, not in sight from the cottage so we did need to go round with them.) The owners are lovely and location is great for exploring the south devon activities. We enjoyed the Seaton Tramway, Lyme Regis beach and the Somerset museum. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice base to call home for a few days!
