Buttercup Reviews

We had such an amazing stay, our Lodge was so beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable, the view such an amazing thing to wake up to. The hottub was amazing and the staff were so friendly and accommodating, it really was an amazing stay.
Leighton
Beautiful and clean lodge with nice surroundings. Adam the owner is polite and friendly. Thanks for having us
Harriet
Lovely surroundings and a really nice lodge. We were very pleased with everything! Thank you!
Cheryl
The property was lovely, cosy, and warm. Could have done with a couple more towels as you have to shower before and after using the hot tub, so the towel is wet for the second shower. Bed is comfy. Nice walks from the Lodge. In the description, it doesn't tell you it's adults only until you go right down to the bottom so be mindful of this.
