Description

“I have just returned from a 2 day retreat at Butterfly Cottage. This was something I booked to take me into the New Year in a meaningful way. The weekend greatly exceeded all of my expectations.

Olive was the most wonderful host and really created a homely experience. I stayed in the bijou studio. It was amazing and so peaceful.

The activities were brilliant and the food was divine. Olive is a fantastic cook and everything is natural and very healthy and nutritious. Just yum!

We also took in a beautiful walk in Fore and a lake swim at sunset at Lough Lene. I could not have asked for a better way to end the year and welcome a new year.

Thank you so much Olive. I’m looking forward to revisiting Butterfly Cottage in 2023.
