“We recently returned from a 4 night stay at Button Cottage, the cottage is utterly gorgeous from the first step inside, greeted by a table laden with treats that Melanie had generously left for us. We absolutely loved our stay there and would not hesitate to recommend it.
The hosts have made sure there is everything and more to make a stay not only comfortable but special (extra mention must also go to the bed and all the linens which are all super sumptuous).”
