Buttervilla is a boutique B&B situated within fifteen acres of rolling countryside on the Port Eliot Estate near St Germans in an area of exceptional beauty with panoramic views across two valleys.

We care for our land in a sustainable, natural way and are rewarded with an abundance of wildlife around our grounds and trails to really help you get close to nature. Buttervilla has no farm animals so we have been able to remove all fences to allow guests to roam freely in the beautiful countryside. We have never used chemical sprays so the environment is clean, pure and influenced by the Atlantic breezes with the south Cornish coast just two miles away.

The nearby stunning coastline of the Rame Peninsula offers great walking, with fine views and some of the best tucked away beaches in the county. The well preserved and very quaint twin coastal villages of Cawsand and Kingsand are just 7 miles from Buttervilla with 3 pubs and a couple of good cafes serving local produce to choose from, a great starting point for walks along the coast in both directions.

We care for our land in a sustainable, organic, eco-friendly way and hold a sought after Soil Association Organic Standard Certification. We grow a range of heritage varieties of fruit and vegetables exclusively for Fifteen Cornwall. the superb restaurant opened by Jamie Oliver in 2006 on the beach at Watergate Bay.
From our secluded sitting areas red
deer can be spotted at dusk, as can barn owls, kestrels 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.

We provide a hearty farmhouse breakfast made with locally sourced ingredients.

"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!."
Gina & Phil - London
"Wonderful to wake up to sunshine and birdsong and a woodpecker
at our window - we hope t be back soon. Thank you for the
