Buttercup Cottage Reviews

Buttercup Cottage is a delight, right in the heart of Troutbeck Valley which is outstandingly beautiful. Numerous walks from the doorstep but also within easy reach of Windermere and other popular destinations. So relaxing, a real tonic! Great to be in pubs and cafes that are dog friendly too.

Lovely little cottage
Positive feedback the bed was comfy and generally clean and bright upstairs. Negatives The area to lounge was I'm afraid not clean, couldn't really relax as the room had a really bad odour, the floors weren't that clean and the rug needs to be thrown out. The mop was broken which made washing the floors difficult. The Internet was just awful, the neighbour reported this to Lakelovers and someone did come out that afternoon, but to be honest really didn't notice much difference.

While the lack of external space was less than ideal, the large and comfortable bed was great. And the location is perfect for walkers. Overall a nice, comfortable bolt hole for a couple.

Lovely little cottage, well situated in Troutbeck. Clean, very well equipped kitchen, cosy sitting area and comfy bedroom with a goodsized bathroom. Perfect for a weeks walking holiday. Washing machine in the shared utility was ideal. We couldnt quite figure out how to turn the heating on and off I think the instructions are for an old system! so we just turned the radiators onoff as we needed and that worked fine. Lots of hot water, and dishwasher tablets and spongewashing up liquid provided which was really appreciated. WiFi code is inside the front cover of the binder on the windowsill some older WiFi codes are inside the binder and confused us a bit! We found the parking fine but if youre not confident with reversing into tight spaces you might not like this. Overall a wonderful stay and we would stay here again.
This is a good, comfortable accommodation with albeit a bit tricky parking for one car. Perfect for a single occupant or a couple, pretty much in the centre geographically speaking of the Lake District, so all of the parts of the national park is very accessible. Even the northernmost bits are only up to an hour's drive. The shared areas utility, back garden are structured a little weird and you will inevitably hear your neighbours but it's fine. It's tiny, but comfortable,and has everything you need for a week's stay.
