    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Buzzard Barn. On arrival, we were blown away by the quality of the accommodation, particularly the kitchen which was stocked with decent pots, pans, and cutlery - not always something you can guarantee at a holiday let. The addition of tea and coffee was greatly appreciated. The children loved being able to see the sheep from the window, and enjoyed feeding the chickens. We all enjoyed exploring the estate and the incredible view from the living room window seat. We all slept incredibly well on the comfy beds in cosy, beautifully decorated bedrooms. There is so much to do and visit in the surrounding area that we filled our week easily. But we especially enjoyed the short walk to the River Camel and Camel Trail which we explored several times throughout the week. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend Butterwell Farm to friends and family.

    We have been holidaying at Butterwell for a few years now, once at Cobnuts and many times now at the lovely Kingfisher cabin. I think that we are returning regularly speaks volumes and we cannot praise enough just what a lovely experience it is. So quiet with just songs from the birds and the rustle from the Camel river to break the sound of silence. Oh, and the odd sheep calling as they march along the river bank. The view along the valley is just amazing, but especially so we think as the sun rises and sets. The grounds are so vast and to be honest it took a few stays to really explore the 40 acres available to roam in, with something for all the family too. Our little Border Terrier loves the walks in the grounds too, and running round the cabin (all quite secure). If you are keen eyed you do get glimpses of the bird to which this cabin's name derives - which is always a thrill. The accommodation doesn't disappoint and has everything there you would have at home, making the stay such an easy transition - and always spotlessly clean. Lighting up the log burner in the colder months just enhances the evening experience, not that you need it as the cabin's heating system keeps you at the right temperature all of the time. Sam and Rachel are just lovely people who are always on hand to answer questions or to help with anything, but never intrude. Trying not to be too gushing, all in all its just a little bit of heaven that we think is fantastic - and such a contrast for us and the world we live in.

    Stayed in Cobnuts cottage, spent our holiday there looking for salmon and seatrout fishing in the Camel river. A beautiful location with choice of many trips around the North coast beaches. Lovely and clean cottage with great views across to the vineyard. Facilities are first class and I could be on the river fishing within five minutes. The bed was so comfortable that we overslept on our last morning, thanks Sam for waking us up! Both Sam and Rachel made us very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them to make our holiday so enjoyable. Highly recommended for a restful holiday.

    Butterwell Farm is an amazing place to get away from it all and spend time as a family. The kids loved seeing all the farm animals and the local wildlife right on the doorstep. So many great things to do in the area as well. Rachel and Sam were amazing hosts, nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in Kingfisher Cabin which was well equipped and super comfy and cosy. Highly recommend!

    We have stayed at Apple Tree Cottage twice now, and just returned from our most recent stay. Butterwell farm is in the most beautiful spot, with easy road free access to the Camel Trail which we love to cycle on as a family. It is wonderful to stay in such a beautiful rural spot yet be able to easily cycle into the lovely Padstow (or in the opposite direction for something different), and for this reason it is a unique property for us. The views from the garden over the valley are fantastic, and we always enjoy sitting outside with a BBQ. It is also the perfect location to walk over to the Camel Valley vineyards for a couple of glasses of wine overlooking the valley back to Butterwell. We have found it quite unusual to be able to find a holiday property with everything we need and want to cook with, but this property has an abundance of high quality cooking equipment for the days that we want to cook at home. The owners, Sam and Rachel, couldn’t be more helpful, and were very quick and considerate in dealing with an issue that arose during our stay. Thank you both for everything you did for us, and we certainly hope to see you again.

    What a wonderful place to stay. Kingfisher cabin was so comfortable and well equipped. Loved the fact that it was built by Sam! The area was beautiful and we spent hours exploring the wood, walking by the river and fishing. Sam was so informative and helpful. We explored the Camel trail- really recommend the Camel tea gardens- only a short walk up the trail. So much to see and do in the local area. A very relaxing and refreshing break :)

    Butterwell Farm is in idyllic quiet setting beside the River Camel which meanders through the property. The cottages are very comfortable indeed and everything there for a cosy stay, in the winter there is a lovely wood burner with plentiful supply of seasoned logs. Dog friendly. Our border collie loved it, would highly recommend, lots of places to visit and see as well as late season salmon fishing. Rachael and Sam are wonderful hosts and Butterwell is a great place to stay.

    What an amazing week we have had! We booked here for our honeymoon and we couldn’t be happier! The cottage was absolutely beautiful, the hosts were so helpful and welcoming! We honestly couldn’t have asked for anymore! Me and my husband enjoyed a paddle in the river at the bottom of the garden, we had bbq’s nearly every evening! It was everything and more! We can not wait to return!! Thank you both so very much x
