"Very relaxing and quiet. marvelous breakfasts and enjoyable conversations with the other guests. Wed recommend our friends to come to unwind. We'll be back..."

"Thanks for a very comfortable stay. It was stormy and changeable outside, and Dartmoor and Rame Head were skyscrapingly dramatic, but it was great to return to Buttervilla's home comforts and hospitality

Here at Buttervilla B&B we exist in a bubble of peacefulness, just a short drive from the South Cornish coast. Buttervilla offers laid back hospitality and nearby are a wealth of glorious beaches, historic houses, fine restaurants, interesting towns and quaint fishing villages, making Buttervilla the perfect place to relax and eat well.
We have fifteen idyllic acres with great views over some exceptionally beautiful rolling countryside. 
Buttervilla an eco-friendly, Soil Association Certified organic farm, fully equipped with modern conveniences is a very special place to stay. Our rooms are spacious, en-suite, have solar heated spring water showers and
very comfortable king-size or double beds. Organic teas and ground coffee,
flat screen TV, free broadband wi-fi access, local maps, books and
restaurant lists are all supplied in your room.
The South Cornwall coast
There is so much to see and do in this beautiful corner of Cornwall.
The walking is world class, with stunning coastal views. Maybe take lunch at a pub or cafe in one of the quaint villages dotted along the coast path. Or head for the gloriously uncrowded beach
at Whitsand Bay, a five-mile stretch of golden sand. Or just take it easy, stroll around one of the local seaside villages, watch the day roll by and poke around in the little art and craft shops. Then after a busy day exploring, followed by a delicious meal at one of our local restaurants, slip into a comfy bed back at peaceful Buttervilla for a relaxing sleep and in the morning be woken by birdsong rather than cars and people rushing around, just right for that relaxing short break.
A peaceful corner of our 15 acres, perfect to sit and take in the glorious views.
We are situated on the historic and beautiful Port Eliot Estate. The House and gardens in nearby St Germans have the rare distinction of both being awarded Grade One status. Buttervilla and Port Eliot have both been featured recently in the Times & Telegraph. You can read the Times feature here - "Discover Cornwall's forgotten corner" and the Telegraph feature here.
