We loved Buttercup Lodge. It's small but it has everything you need. The location is great. Lots to do and see within an easy drive, but always looked forward to coming back to base to enjoy the peace and quiet, looking out onto the buttercup meadow and seeing the swallows flitting about. Leslie, the owner is very friendly and helpful.

A delightful chalet which was warm and cosy even on the coldest days.Loved the fenced off garden and the quiet location. Well situated and within easy reach of the local amenities. Some lovely walks nearby and a friendly host. Will certainly stay here again as it ticked all our boxes.
