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.

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!

Comfy cottage

Lovely little cottage, very clean and well presented. Equipped with all you need for self catering. The location is ideal for visiting lots of places, and is one of the few I've stayed in where the incessant drone of distant traffic can't be heard. Tony and his wife were very helpful and were on hand if a problem arose. Hope to return at some point, even though the weather wasn't kind and the lane to the cottage a little daunting!

A wonderful stay.

We had a lovely week in the Buttercup cottage. Everything was exactly as promised and better. We felt very welcome with the cookies, milk, tea, nescafe and fudge left by our hosts. The house was very clean and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay and the talks with our hosts who shared their beautiful garden with us. We went fossil hunting at the beaches of Lyme Regis and Charmouth. Walking around charming Kilmington and shopping in lovely Honiton. We also went to Exeter by train from Honiton. In short we enjoyed ourselves and would like to return to discover more of beautiful Devon.

Rural property with sunny courtyard located near dairy farm.

Clean and well furnished little house adjoining another holiday let, with helpful owner on hand if needed. We had lovely very hot weather and the house stayed comfortably cool with the window blinds. This is rural Devon, and the local roads are very narrow and would be somewhat challenging for an inexperienced driver. Mobile reception was patchy but Wi Fi was reliable during our stay so we were able to stay in touch. East Devon has a lot to offer, and this little house should give a comfortable stay to those who want to discover pretty villages, stunning countryside, and lovely coastline.

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!

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.

Cottage had everything you could possibly need including access to washing machine and tumble dryer. Kids enjoyed the outside space and it was well situated for Seaton, Sidmouth, Lyme Regis, all 20-30 mins away and local town on Honiton.

Quiet retreat in East Devon

Enjoyed a break away in Northleigh East Devon, at Buttercup Cottage. The overall accommodation was adequate with all the essential needs accommodated for. Its a lovely location if your looking for a holiday to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Located in a very rural area with large towns 20/30 mins away.

Great place to stay

Location was great. Lovely to have the chickens come to visit. Only a 20 min drive to around 3 different beaches. Owner was lovely and welcome basket was great with much needed milk in the fridge for a cuppa after a long drive. And the cottage had everything we could need. First time in Devon so found the roads a change - the whole area is single lanes. We soon got used to them. One thing to be cautious of is the bees. There were lots around as i believe the owner keeps some. They did not bother us but imagine it may be a factor for some.
