About Buttervilla
"The description "bed & breakfast" just doesn't cover it. We melted into the bed and so soft sheets. A better breakfast couldn't be imagined - especially the red and yellow cherry tomatoes picked moments before. Blue tits at the window - you couldn't arrange it!
Must time our visit next time to sample the raved about evening meals."

From our secluded sitting areas red deer can be spotted at dusk, as can barn owls, kestrals and woodpeckers, while buzzards soar on thermals throughout the day. A walk around the farm will treat you to a multitude of bird song to help soothe your stresses and put you at peace with the world.
A view from the gardens
In season we provide fresh produce from our own extensive kitchen garden, grown using organic methods for maximum quality, purity and a great taste. We provide a hearty farmhouse breakfast and also offer an evening meal with home grown, locally sourced, and wherever possible organically grown ingredients.
