Butterfly Annexe Reviews

James
We loved staying at The Butterfly Annexe! The setting is stunning and perfect for exploring nearby towns. The place is beautifully kept and had all we needed for a comfy, luxury break. Highly recommend!
Emma
The place is in a great spot and has top-notch amenities. The stairs are a bit of a nightmare-really steep and deep, so not ideal for everyone. It’s on a busy road, but inside it’s peaceful. WiFi can be a bit patchy, which is a pain.
Emma
We had a lovely stay here! The cottage is perfectand it’s great that dogs are welcome. Woolacombe’s beautifuland Ilfracombe isn’t far. Shops nearby make everything easy. Highly recommend!
Emma
We really enjoyed the cosy cottage, perfect for exploring Woolacombe and Ilfracombe. The garden was spacious and secure for the dogs, but watch out for the steep stairs! Not ideal for everyone.
Alex Harper
We loved the cosy feel of the annexand it’s in a really lovely spot. Sadly, it didn’t quite feel as pet friendly as we'd hoped, which affected our trip a bit. Would probably suggest a stay here without pets if you want a hassle-free break!
Sam
Cozy space, but can get pretty chilly sometimes
Emma
The place was super cosy and the Welcome Pack with Christmas treats was a lovely touch. Beds were really comfy too.

James
We loved the place! The location is perfect, close to beaches and local sights. The hot tub was fantastic - we used it daily. The garden is a big plus, especially since it’s secure and dog-friendly, so no escape attempts here! The super king bed was super comfyand the rainfall shower was a nice touch. Will definitely return!

The location is spot onand the property had all we needed for a comfy stay. When the hot tub had a problem, the owners sorted it super quick. Would definitely come back, highly recommend!
Emma
We just got back from a lovely week at the annex with our two springers and teenage son. The place was just what we needed - private enclosed garden with a hot tuband it was super well-equipped, right down to hand soap, dishclothsand tea towels. The washing machine was a real bonus after a few days. The local Tesco is just three minutes’ drive and was well stocked. Beaches are only a short drive awayand the guys loved the quad biking, especially with the 25% discount. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Emily
We had a lovely stay! The moment we arrived, a welcoming tray of goodies greeted us, which was such a thoughtful touch. The place was spotless, cosyand really felt like a home away from home. Its location is perfect - just a quick drive to Ilfracombe and a Tesco nearby for any essentials. The owners were super helpful and always ready to assist without any fuss. We’re already planning to come back next summer and would definitely recommend it for a relaxing break. Lovely experience!
Emma
We spent a week at the Butterfly Annexe in late July 2023 and honestly, it was lovely. Despite some rainy days, the hot tub kept our spirits up. The owners really thought of everything with the welcome gifts, which we appreciated. The location is perfect, close to Ilfracombe and Woolacombe - loads to explore nearby. Our dog had a great time in the garden and at the beachand the outdoor hose was a lifesaver for cleaning him after days out. All in all, a fantastic stay, would definitely recommend!
Emma
