We loved our stay at Poppies. Comfortable cottage with excellent views. Sunsets were amazing. One thing to consider for the elderly or less mobile; the staircase is quite narrow and steep for nighttime visits to the toilet.

We had a really lovely stay. Thank you for the warm welcome. Poppies is well furnished and decorated and it was great to have a washing machine. The cottage was very clean apart from the bathroom but we feel this must have been an oversight.
