Poppy Cottage Reviews

Bethany
We loved staying here! Very cozy and beautifully decorated I would definitely book this cottage again. The house stayed nice and warm and was in a good location. It was great to have 3 bathrooms everything was very clean as well. It would have been nice to have some additional potspans in the kitchen for folks who like to cook there was only one frying pan and it was peeling when we arrived so we didn't use it. Otherwise I thought the kitchen was great. Totally recommend!
Joanna
Lovely cottage does have almost everything. A microwave is handy, albeit not for everyone but buying local produce to reheat is convenient. The bed and showers are fantastic, the location is excellent with easy walks into Windamere and Bowness. It is a property we would definitely book again, the small things I mention do not take away how fabulous this was.
