Jane and Mark were exceptional hosts who went above and beyond for us during our stay. The B&B is beautifully decorated to the highest standard and the breakfast was delicious. We would highly recommend them and hope to return in the future. The best place to stay in Otterburn.

The Butterchurn Guest House is a home from Home. Mark, Jane & Pam could not be more accommodating and felt like part of the family by the time we left. Mark and Jane have supported us with wedding planning, postponing due to Covid and wedding planning some more. No question was too difficult and no ask was too big either in the run up to or during our stay. In terms of cleanliness - the guesthouse is spotless from top to bottom. The rooms are a great size and can accommodate a range of group sizes (we had single guests and families of 5). We booked here with our family for the weekend before our

Can't recommend staying here enough - not only is it super clean, modern, and better decorated than your own home, but Mark and Jane are incredible hosts who went out of their way to help us when we arrived late and missed our booking at a local restaurant. Excellent guest house run by two incredibly dedicated hosts, many thanks for our stay!

Modern facilities. Very clean. Lovely staff. We stayed at the guest house for one evening for a wedding nearby. "Ottercops" the quietest room I have ever slept in. Breakfast great in the morning. Thanks for a great stay.
