Buttercup Lodge is a spacious and well equipped cottage. We enjoyed our stay very much, with the location being in easy reach of all the local beaches. We would definitely stay there again if we returned to the area.

Our second visit here, but this time we brought friends to Canola and pitch 3 on the CL. We all enjoyed the proximity to each other. The lodge is very well equipped, Jaik was able to sort out a couple of issues for us. There was milk, tea and coffee provided, but as seasoned self caterers we come with provisions. Handy for sandwich, nice walk to thRead moree Heath, Southwold Walkerswick and Aldeburgh for fish and chips. Snape Maltings a good visit too. Sure we will be back!! Hide
