  • "Loved this property!"

    A great welcome by the owners together with Prosecco and cake. It was well presented, well equipped, comfortable and clean. We didn’t book it for the hot tub but enjoyed several nights under the stars. Good location, Gloucester and Worcester a must and we visited many National Trust properties in the area. A very tranquil place and will definitely revisit if in the area again in the future.

    Coming into the kitchen, a delicious looking sponge cake was waiting for us and a bottle of Prosecco was in the fridge. The cottage had alight and airy feel to it and was spotlessly clean. Plenty of towels etc. The hot tub was just outside the french doors and away from view. That too was wonderful to be in and was discreetly checked twice a day. There was plenty of information to read about the area and plenty of walks, many of which were local. The owners were on hand to answer any queries as well. Thoroughly recommend this cottage and if we were coming to this area again would definitely stay again.

  • "Buttercups is a super place to stay."

    It is incredibly well stocked with everything you might need for a self catering holiday and plenty of information was provided on places to explore nearby. It is very well located and gave us easy access to Warwick, Stratford upon Avon and Birmingham attractions. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and it feels like you are a million miles away from all the hustle and bustle. We were welcomed by the lovely owners Anne and Stuart and their dog Callie, who the children adored. They even left us yummy cakes and prosecco to enjoy, which went down very well indeed. To top it all off the hot tub was bliss and we made use of it every day. Thank you for such a wonderful holiday.

    It was a pleasure to meet you all and thank you for choosing to stay with us. We're so happy to hear you had a fun time at Buttercups. Callie also loved playing with the children. Anne and Stewart Property Owner

    We previously stayed in this gorgeous little Bungalow 4 weeks earlier and booked back in as soon as we could, we loved the place, the people, the surroundings and Callie the dog so very much. Stuart and Anne are lovely hosts who make you feel very welcome. They were amazing with our 7 year old daughter who befriended their gorgeous sprocker Callie. The setting in the countryside is stunning, the gardens are fabulous and an amazing, safe space for a 7 year old to investigate. Incredible amounts of nature on the doorstep, deer, birds of prey, rabbits and woodpeckers! We’re planning next year already!

    What an amazing place in a lovely quiet location. The owners Anne and Stewart are brilliant and couldn’t do enough to help. We were greeted on arrival and shown around the accommodation, given plenty of advice of activities and places to go locally as well as a welcome gift of a lovely sponge cake and a bottle of fizz, which we enjoyed on our first evening in the hot tub! The perfect start to a week away. There is everything you could want provided in the kitchen, we managed to cook a full roast on Easter Sunday! There is plenty of space inside and out. Games and books provided also. The hot tub is extremely well looked after and always clean and ready for use, which makes for some very relaxed evenings watching the stars. Anne and Stweart have put together a selection of thoughtful information packs full of things to do and events happening locally and also provided us with extra history around certain areas we were interested in. Thank you very much for a perfect week away, we will definitely be back and look forward to staying again soon. We thoroughly recommend staying at this cottage.

  • "We had a wonderful stay thank you."

    Our second visit having stayed last year and loving it for the peaceful location, the hot tub and being a stones throw away from great family days out and great pub food (The Flyford was excellent!) Stuart and Anne are warm and welcoming hosts. A few new additions were found this year by our children: a huge box of toys which they loved! The books and games are great and a new shower mat, (the old one had seen better days). One change I would ask, is that blackout blinds are put in the twin bedroom. The current blinds are very light and don’t block out any of the light at all, with August sunshine blasting in the bedroom from 5am both our children were wide awake and unable to go back to sleep. We fixed this by buying temporary paper blackout blinds from Dunelm that were propped behind the existing blinds and removed when we vacated. But this would certainly be a welcome permanent addition if we were to stay again. We have highly recommended this holiday home to many of our friends! Thanks again.

    It was lovely to see you all again and we're pleased you had another enjoyable stay with us. We're really sorry about the blackout blinds problem upstairs. We will replace these - in our annual winter revamp - this is not something we had thought about before. Thank you for the really constructive feedback and also for all your kind comments. Very best wishes Anne and Stewart Property Owner

  • "This is a lovely home in a very quite location."

    The garden is massive, due to the time of year, we didn't make the most of this but this would be a great extra space in the summer. The owners live on site and were very helpful, but left us to do our own thing, not bothering is all the time. We really enjoyed our short stay here. My only minor grumble is the hob is only two rings not four. Which is a bit of an issue if your group is a mix of vegetarian and non vegetarian and you need to do separate meals for each. It is also worth noting that the freezer is only a small compartment in the fridge, not a full size freezer. These are minor moans, otherwise I would give this a 10 out of 10.

    Thank you Garry for your feedback. We're pleased you liked Buttercups and enjoyed your stay with us. We were however surprised about your "minor grumbles" In the description of our property it does state clearly that Buttercups has a two ring hob and also mentions that there is a fridge but does not state anywhere that the cottage has a freezer. Other guests have contacted us prior to arrival re the capacity of the compartment in the fridge and we have stored larger frozen items in our freezer if this is required. We feel your comments highlight the importance of guests reading the information about a property very carefully and clarifying any uncertainties before booking so that they are sure the facilities fully meet their needs and they do not experience the problems you describe. We are happy to answer any queries and we do our utmost to ensure guests enjoy their time with us. Anne and Stewart Property Owner

    There was milk and Prosecco in the fridge and a delicious cake on the table. We did not use the hot tub. The upper bedroom area and shower room certainly looked comfortable and practical but we lived on the ground floor.

The are views of the garden from the sitting room and the bedroom and plenty of areas to sit out /BBQ. The field and its flock of sheep entertain from the kitchen window.

The hot tub was in daily use: morning, afternoon and night and we really appreciated the sensitive twice daily visits from Stuart to keep it topped up with water and check the chemicals. We also loved that it wasn’t too hot and the children could enjoy it too and they absolutely loved it. The kitchen was great, really well stocked, with the nice little snug lounge after a busy day. We loved all the care that had been taken in the childrens books available (our 2 read everything) the games and information packs. There are so many places to visit within short drives, you’re spoilt for choice, it really is a great location for historic towns, national trust houses and gardens, castles (Eastnor Castle was a favourite, fantastic for families with rope swings on every tall tree on the woodland walk!) and farms.

  • "What a wonderful, peaceful gem of a holiday cottage this is."

    Spotlessly clean, both the cottage and the owners provide a warm welcome. We were fortunate that we had superb weather which allowed us to sit in the garden til late in the evening. We were delighted to watch rabbits, squirrels, numerous birds including kestrels and a buzzard and even a toad. The owners were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The beds were very comfortable and the surroundings were ideal for a relaxing break after a difficult year. We will definitely book again. Thank you to Anne and Stuart the hosts.

    The property is a credit to them, very clean, and a comfortable bed, well equipped to do your own evening meals. Made use of the hot tub on an evening after a day of walking. If you would like to dine out we recommend The Boot Inn, a few minutes drive from Buttercups, a warm welcome and delicious food. Can highly recommend a stay here, you won’t be disappointed.

  • "Absolutely amazing week away!"

    ! We loved our stay.. the cottage was lovely, had everything we needed for a family of 3 with our young son including high chair, travel cot, stair gate and even toys & books! Really nice touch :) we were greeted with the most amazing chocolate cake when we arrived!! Owners live on site which is not a problem at all, we only saw them at the beginning of our stay when we arrived & then a few times when we contacted them as we needed assistance. Hot tub is a really nice added touch and we enjoyed even in the rain!! The garden was HUGE and amazing for our son, we loved pottering around and the fields near the cottage. Lots of things to do in and around the area for us, we honestly had such an incredible week. Booked fairly last minute and we would definitely visit again.

  • "We always worry that the accommodation will meet our needs, however Buttercups was ideal."

    Our daughter is disabled and apart from needing a downstairs bathroom and bedroom we never know if things will be suitable. The best thing about the accommodation is it's size. The kitchen/diner is large and so is the downstairs bedroom and bathroom. The gardens are lovely, beautiful orchard and the farmer's field behind the annexe full of entertaining sheep. We were able to access the hot tub and enjoy the wonderful surroundings. Brilliant.

  • "We stayed at buttercups 8th-15th August 2020."

    From the moment we arrived it was perfect. The owners, Anne and Stewart had left us scones with Jam and cream and a selection of tea and coffee and milk which was a lovely touch. They live in the house next door but they respect your privacy.....however they are there for you should you need anything (like a last minute paddle boarding booking!). Buttercups is a beautiful, pristine holiday home, everything appeared to be brand new and it had everything you could need in a holiday home. The gardens are lovely and there was plenty of space to play boules or have a kick about. The hot tub was an added bonus and was used frequently by us after long walks, bike rides or activities on the nearby lakes. Buttercups is in a very peaceful location (2 lovely pubs within walking distance) but is very central if you want to get out and about like we did. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here and I have no doubt we will return. Thanks to Anne and Stewart for a great week in Buttercups.

    The annex is so clean and spacious, the garden is big so plenty of space for the kids to play. The hot tub was lovely too. Anne and Stuart were fab, very friendly and approachable, gave us lots of information on where to go etc.... Surroundings are great and there is plenty to do around the area. Nice footpaths to walk and nice local pubs. This had everything for us as a family. The wifi and smart TV were an added bonus too. We are definitely booking again for next year.
