Butterfly cottage is in an amazingly remote spot. It really feels like the middle of nowhere. Spectacular bird life, and not far from interesting little towns. Roads and footpaths can be challenging due to potholes and barbed wire, but its a comfortable place to return to and sit in the sun on good days.

Butterfly Cottage is a perfect, peaceful getaway. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and on stunning grounds, our dogs had the best time, as did we! Stottesdon is a very small, quite remote village so you need to be prepared to bring supplies or to travel 10-15 minutes to get them.

The beds were super comfortable and the garden and patio area are gorgeous, as well as the enclosed paddock which the dogs loved! We'll be back! Hide

Absolutely loved it. Beds were comfy with lovely linen and choice of pillows. All spotlessly clean and uncluttered. Basics provided for and location perfectly calm and in nature. Local pubs and shops near enough to access - can walk to the nearest pub, but the cottage is quiet and serene. Would go back for sure.
