Some guests noted the need for better storage solutions and larger mirrors.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found The Button Box to be very clean, with only a few isolated comments about specific areas needing attention, such as the bathroom and kitchen utensils. Overall, the cleanliness is highly regarded.
The property is appreciated for its quietness and proximity to local attractions. However, some guests found the hilly area challenging and the parking tight due to a caravan, which affected the score.
The comfort of the bed and the peacefulness of the cottage are highlights. However, the lack of storage space and the size of the shower have been noted as areas for improvement.
While the cottage is equipped with essentials and guests are pleased with the extra touches, there are repeated mentions of the need for better storage, mirrors, and a washing machine. As there are no reviews that explicitly mention the overall state of the facilities and maintenance, a score cannot be accurately provided.
Guests have expressed gratitude for the thoughtful starter pack of groceries provided by the hosts. It's important to note that such gestures, while appreciated, may not be guaranteed for every stay.

We only have a small car and still found getting into the space very tight. The pillows were badly stained (no protectors), bedroom curtains very thin (not worn) let in too much light and made sleeping difficult. The pub is described as just over 1 mile but a very difficult walk (and we are seasoned walkers). It would be useful to have some bedroom storage and information on recycling.

What you see in the pictures are accurate inside but outside is u kept with slabs lifting weeds everywhere and you have to go round back of house to get key which was difficult in the dark rain. You only get parking for 1 car not 2 and the complete lack of storage for clothes is something else. The bathroom is dangerous with two door for some strange reason. The hills you have to walk to get to a shop or pub are only for the most fittest. Would be OK for a overnight stop but no more

Found it difficult to find and the access road was hard to navigate as it was full of potholes. It was very clean and tidy.
