The Butterfly Annex was lovely for our little getaway, secure garden so our dog could enjoy the garden whilst we were in the hot tub. The annex itself was very clean and the little welcome snacks and drinks were lovely. Couldnt asked for a better place, will definitely be returning again next year!

Lovely property, good location with easy access to local attractions & beaches. The hot tub is a real hit and was used every day. The garden is dog friendly and secure, our escape artist dogs did not find a way out. Super king bed comfortable and we slept very well. Shower fitted with a rainfall shower which was very good.

Just returned from a lovely week at the annex with our two springers & son. We found the cottage to be perfect for our needs. Private enclosed garden with hot tub. Well equipped . Even down to hand soap. Dish clothes and tea towels. The washing machine is a bonus. The local Tesco is only 3 mins drive and is large & well stocked. The beaches are onl y a few min drive away and if you are into sports book the quad bikes via the cottage and receive 25% off. My men when twice!! Yes we will return

Fantastic! From walking into a fabulous welcome tray of goodies which was much appreciated the property was clean, cosy and like home from home. Great location just a short drive from ilfracombe plus tesco down the road for those essentials we throughly enjoyed our stay. The owners of the property were on hand quickly if we needed to check anything and nothing was too much trouble. We are hoping to return next summer and definitely recommend this property for a relaxed stress free holiday.
Gary
We stayed for a week at the end of July 2023 at the Butterfly Annexe, what an amazing place to stay, although the weather was not great a couple of days, the hot tub allowed us to still enjoy ourselves. The welcome gifts were amazing, and very thoughtful of the owners. The location is very close to both Ilfracombe and Woolacombe, so there is lots t o do within the vicinity. Our dog loved the garden, and going to the beach, so the outdoor hose was ideal for cleaning him down after his days out.

What an amazing place to stay. We stayed here for a weekend to celebrate my friends birthday, when we arrived the owners had left a birthday cake and a bottle of wine which was an unexpected but lovely gesture, the personal touch really added to the weekend. The annexe is super cosey and finished to a very high standard with everything you need and it was extremely clean. Great location, we walked into Ilfracombe, part of it was along the road which wasn't too busy. I would definitely stay again
