The owners of Buttervilla Retreat have created a beautiful space for their guests to enjoy. The cottage is in a peaceful rural setting with lovely views and within easy driving distance of both the coast, countryside, moors and larger towns. Situated on the owners land the accommodation is private and has its own driveway and entrance. The cottage is well equipped, warm, comfortable and tastefully decorated. An initial supply of logs is provided for the inside wood burner and the outside wood fired hot tub; with an additional supply of wood available on site to be purchased if required. We experienced a lovely warm welcome from Nigel who, during our stay, was always more than happy to give us local recommendations for places to visit and eat. A very comprehensive information folder was also available in the cottage plus local maps and a selection of reading material. We were greeted with fresh flowers and a cream tea which was a lovely touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing week at Buttervilla Retreat and were sorry to leave. We are happy to recommend....

Beautiful cosy cottage in a great location. Homemade scones provided on arrival were delicious. Definitely would go back in the future.

We absolutely loved our stay at buttervilla retreat and would definitely return/recommend to family/friends! The owners were lovely and the scones and flowers on arrival were a great touch. The location was brilliant with most beaches being around a 10 minute drive. We would recommend Tregantle beach which was lovely. We did a lovely circular walk around mount edgecumbe which had some beautiful views with a stop at a pub/cafe half way round. Another lovely walk was through Seaton country park with a visit to the Copley Arms pub for a drink afterwards (lovely pub that also does lovely food). We also visited Polperro and Looe which is a must! Lots of lovely dog friendly beaches, cafes and restaurants within a close proximity. We also enjoyed going to the local half way house pub that we could walk to through a private walkway that the owner had created through the field! The hot tub was great for the evenings. We had such a great time, the barn was a home from home feel and we were very sad to leave! ...
