Butterfly Annexe is wonderful. The inside space is open plan and socialable. The bedrooms are very comfortable too. The garden is secure for the dogs and the hot tub is perfect to sit in, in the sunshine. Thank you, we can't wait to return!

Lovely location and very well equipped with high end products. Stairs are extremely steep and deep so would be an accessibility issue for some people. Is on busy road but once inside it's quiet. WiFi drops out frequently so may not be reliable for some.
