Whether you are escaping as a family, as a couple or with friends, this cottage and its surrounding complex is sure to meet your needs. One of nine properties, it is set in 18 acres of luscious countryside with stunning vistas of Sterridge Valley. For families, the complex includes a games building, shared outdoor lawns, play areas and a variety of local animals to meet, and for the discerning adult, the shared pool building includes a sunken hot tub, sauna (only available during off peak season) and heated pool.

The unique reverse layout of the cottage means that the stunning views of the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty can be seen from your living room. The spacious bedrooms embrace seaside tones and both benefit from an en-suite bathroom, useful after a few heated games of table football! Equipped with your own picnic table and charcoal BBQ, a shared outdoor patio area can also be found immediately outside, beautifully styled with pastel colours and original stone exterior, perfect for friends and family to see in the evening with a bottle of wine. Dog walks are a pleasure with country paths beginning at your front door, and the outdoor play area is ideal for entertaining young minds while you gather your beach gear.

Served us very well as a family of 4, no issues. Everything from booking to departing was easy and without hassle. Owners left you to your own devices but weren't far away if you needed anything. Layout, swimming pool, games room, playground and the grounds in general are all very well kept. Could easily of done 2 weeks here

We had a 5 day break in Buttercup cottage. Everything was perfect for us, the cottage was so clean and comfortable, well equipped with everything you could need for a holiday. The swimming pool and hot tub was an added bonus! The view around the cottages is stunning, and we found lots to do in the area. Enjoyed chatting with the donkeys every morniRead moreng! Will definitely come again and recommend to others. Thank you. Hide

Clean, fully equipped accommodation adequately sized to suit a small family. Topsy turvy layout but doesnt detract from the accommodation on offer. Beds are super comfy.

Excellent value for money in a lovely setting. Close to all the best of North Devon. The pool is still fantastic, the beds comfy and the towels fluffy. The cottage was always warm and cosy.

We enjoyed our time in Devon and the experience was more enjoyable due to fine and warm weather for 80% of our stay. However the same cannot be said of our experience in Buttercup Cottage. During our stay we had to endure an awful stench from the drains in the shower room of the twin bedroom. The management staff were swift to come over when we aleRead morerted them to the problem but unfortunately were not able to do the work resolve the issue. This problem really spoilt our stay. Hide
