What guests say
9.6 / 10 · Exceptional on Booking.com, from 156 guest reviews
The Buttonwood Inn earns near-universal praise for its exceptionally warm hosts Doug and Donna Marie, outstanding homemade breakfasts, and a charming, historic atmosphere that makes guests feel at home. The handful of practical drawbacks — sound transmission through old walls, a shared bathroom, steep stairs, and patchy Wi-Fi — are inherent to the property's vintage character and are consistently treated as minor by reviewers. Overall sentiment across these reviews is overwhelmingly positive, with the vast majority calling it a hidden gem worth returning to.
