Poppy Cottage

Poppy Cottage was absolutely perfect for us, the location was amazing, little granddaughter really enjoyed the garden.

The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay, definitely will keep the cottage in mind for the future

We had a great break at Poppy Cottage and were sad to leave at the end of our week.

It's even nicer than it looks on the photos. A great boon for us was that the area is very good for hedgehogs and we enjoyed watching them in the garden most evenings. We also had some great sightings of owls, bats and deer around Charlton Marshall, the area is very rural and good for wildlife. There are some great walks straight from the door on the North Dorset Trailway and various lanes and footpaths. The cottage itself is very comfortable and clean.

An excellent cottage very well presented.

The cottage was all we could have hoped for and more.

Although small in size it lacked nothing and was spotlessly clean. We would be very happy to stay here again some day.

The Cottage is pretty, we had everything that we needed the beds were comfy the fire was lovely.

We walked along the trail way to blandford. Great location for visiting places. Recommend the tank museum and a trip to swanage to the beach.

Absolutely delightful lovely well kept and equipped cottage .

With in easy reach of tourist attractions in a quiet peaceful location .. lovely walks around the location .. Nice Village pub within walking distance very reasonably priced totally enjoyed our stay .. Thank you

A beautifully presented cottage with everything you need for a self catering holiday.

The place was spotlessly clean. We had milk,tea, coffee and chocolate biscuits on arrival. People with mobility problems might find the stairs a challenge as they needed to be climbed with care.

Lovely little cottage, comfortable and well equipped, with a nice garden Good location for exploring Dorset

Pretty little cottage perfectly placed for visiting lots of places.

Very well equipped.

We both had a lovely week staying in your cottage, home from home.

Everything was spotlessly clean, we were very impressed. We were lucky with the weather and able to enjoy the garden. In all a very comfortable stay.

Lovely cottage set in a lovely area great walks on the doorstep lots to do in the area

Had a lovely christmas break in this cosy cottage.

spotlessly clean, very comfortable furniture, lovely open fire..the kitchen was very well equipped,everything you needed. the owner had put some xmas bits around which was very thoughtful. the stairs were steep, but not a problem as there was a banister to hang onto. the only criticism was the single bed was a bit uncomfortable as you could feel the springs. maybe a thick mattress topper would help. other than that it was perfect. Lots of places within easy driving distance, the trailway was a nice walk, we had heavy rain and gale force winds all the time we were there, but didnt stop us going out!

A superb cosy, warm and comfortable cottage.

Plenty of free cupboard space in the kitchen and quality cooking equipment including a slow cooker. Comfortable bed and good bathroom facilities with quality linen and towels. Excellent Wifi connection. A truly peaceful location with walking trails from the door but also easy vehicle access to the main routes for inland attractions and the coast. Highly recommended.

Very comfortable cottage with excellent kitchen close to supermarket and pub.

It is a little tight for space upstairs but ideal for the two of us. Comfortable beds. Good value.

Absolutely lovely cottage.

Spotlessly clean and well equipped. The owners have managed to fit plenty of cupboards in very cleverly. The comfort and quality of the sofa and armchair were exceptional. Good beds too. The location is nice and quiet up a little lane and handily situated for the shops of Blandford Forum. There is also nice pub within walking distance in the village which serves good food and was very welcoming.

This was a traditional cottage.

Quite old fashioned in decor. The owner was very helpful when there was an issue with the plumbing, which was rectified the same day. The bed was very comfortable. As stated by previous visitors the stairs are very steep and tight to manoeuvre. The kitchen provided us with all that we required. The area was close to the coast and many attractions.

We loved our stay at Poppy Cottage.

It was exceptionally clean & very well-equipped. The owners were very keen to point out that the 4th bed was a trickle bed which was actually not a problem at all. The stairs did pose more of a problem for one of our party though as they were quite steep. It might be worth mentioning this to prospective guests. Overall, very satisfied with our stay. Many thanks.

Lovely well equipped cottage in a ideal location to explore the surrounding area.

Nice garden to sit in and enjoy the warm evenings.

Quiet location within walking distance of Blandford along the Trailway.

Lovely well-looked after property. This was our third visit! What else can I say?

the cottage was extremely clean and very cosy everything you needed garden lovely to sit and watch wildlife very quiet handy for visiting local areas and beaches neighbour very friendly and informative would definitely book this cottage again

Lovely cottage in a very peaceful area.

Very well equipped. The only negative for me was the steep stairs. It would be helpful to have some leaving instructions re linen.

What a lovely comfy and cosy cottage!

So well equipped with a pretty, sunny garden to sit out in and off road parking. Friendly village and nice pub just a short walk away. Lots to explore locally. Thank you for the coffee tea milk and biscuits much appreciated. Helpful owner. Thank you.

The cottage was very clean and particularly well equipped with cooking equipment.

The kitchen worked very well. It also had a shower mat, which we rarely find, and do need if the shower is over the bath. It did not have any information (apart from relating to the electrical equipment) and, for example, we needed to enquire about the recycling information which varies in different areas. The shower controls had symbols for operating it, and these were difficult to understand - we never did so. The stairs were difficult, as we had been warned in advance, and we found them particularly difficult if we were carrying anything, for example the vacuum cleaner which lived upstairs. The owner was a very helpful and friendly lady. I am sorry that we forgot to write in the Visitors Book which was in a cupboard and we overlooked when we left.

The house was lovely.

We highly recommend it.

Lovely owner, really friendly and helpful.

Cottage is beautiful. Thank you for leaving us milk and biscuits, tea and coffee. We will be back x

A wonderful home from home in a beautiful, quiet location.

The cottage has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay and, the owner, couldn't have been more helpful and kind. If you are looking for a quintessential, cosy cottage in a beautiful location, then I couldn't recommend Poppy Cottage highly enough.

Had to come down to Dorset to entertain our three lively grandchildren over the half term.

Poppy Cottage was fairly close by and provided a welcome retreat at the end of each busy day. Delightful little place in a quiet setting, so that we could get the necessary sleep. Spotlessly clean, comfy beds and cosy - with all that we needed. Everything up to date and working well. Would definitely recommend.

The cottage was very comfortable and well-fitted out.

It was nice to have milk, coffee and tea left for us. There was also good information left on the local area, and we had a lovely meal at the local pub. The only downside is the very steep stairs.

Spotless even salt and pepper pots coffee tea sugar and sachets of sauces Little things make a difference

Lovely relaxing cottage.

Supermarket just down the road and within good drivable distance. Kids loved it as there are several places to visit a short drive away.

Glad we found cottage as last minute emaculate tea coffee biscuits and milk left for us thankyou well equipped plenty to see & do felt homely

Very quiet, little cottage with lots of birds in the garden, well located near Blandford Forum for daily coffee and shopping.

The cottage itself is a bit tiny for tall Dutchmen, in particular the bed in the master bedroom with its raised foot end.

A lovely little cottage, immaculately clean and with excellent facilities and a beautiful garden.

We very much appreciated the books left for us to read by the owner when she heard about our interest in the nearby railway line walking trail which we remembered from our childhood as a functioning railway. The only two drawbacks were that the staircase is exceptionally steep and a problem for one of us who has limited mobility, and the mattress on the single bed was not comfortable and needed a mattress topper! Otherwise we had a lovely holiday. Thank you very much.

A delightful cottage, well equipped, spotlessly clean with a lovely garden.

Everything was spot on.

Only suggestion might be to have a visitors book for people to write comments on the local pub etc the pub was excellent would have liked to recommend it to others.

Lovely Poppy Cottage better than ever: wi-fi and much more comfortable bed in particular.

A lovely cottage, quiet & restful surroundings.

Very clean & everything you need. We loved the garden & enjoyed the nearby walks.

This was our second holiday at Poppy Cottage , everything was fine .

The only thing it lacks is a washing machine .

Poppy cottage was a delight.

The instructions before arrival were clear and access was easy. The cottage was clean, homely and well equipped with washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, tea, coffee and milk. It was decorated well and was pretty on the inside and out. It is located in a great position to explore Dorset and we would highly recommend a stay here. A very enjoyable holiday and we hope to return in the future.

What a lovely stay.

The cottage was super clean and very well equipped. Very thankful we had plenty of charcoal to keep warm when there was the power cut due to storm eunice.

Hot water immersion heater came on regularly through the night and was noisey considering it was in a cupboard in the main bedroom.

Cannot understand why it came on so regularly when no water was being used. Seats at dining room table uncomfortable after a while, just wooden bases, would benefit from tie on cushions. WiFi would make a big difference to this cottage, looks like this maybe in hand. The house itself was lovely and comfortable everywhere else. Kitchen adequately equipped. Very quiet and peaceful, in a good position to explore Dorset. This house we would use again for more things in the area we would like to visit. Supermarket and fuel garage just down the road which was handy, a pub in village looked nice, but we did not use.

Lovely cottage in a superb location although thought it would be nearer the village.

Also missed the fact of no Wi Fi, which is being installed soon. Yes we had a lovely time not too far to Lulworth Cove and Dirdle Door and many other locations.

Poppy cottage was perfect it had everything you needed it was super clean with a beautiful garden and very peaceful.

The location was perfect for visiting lots of places ,would love to visit again one day.

The top of the dishwasher doesn't seem to wash propperly, even after 2 different cycles .

The property could benefit from WiFi, especially as the smart TV could then be used to it's potential. In terms of summer bedding it would help to have top sheets or light blankets as the duvets were way too hot for the season. Otherwise it was a lovely property.

We loved every moment of our stay in this beautiful clean and fresh little cottage.

If we had one gripe (and why the 4 star on facilities) it was that the mattress on the bed is too small for the frame. Pillows keep going down the back. Please change this and it’s just perfect. The owner is very helpful and always at the end of the phone. We can’t wait to return.

Fantastic little cottage, clean and had everything you need.

Stairs are really steep so you need to be careful. About 40 min walk into Blandford use cycle track instead of road. Easy driving distance to loads of beautiful places in Dorset. Supermarket 5 mins away. Poppy cottage is so relaxing dont hear any traffic noise just the birds singing in the garden. The only gripe we had was the bed wasn't very comfortable the mattress seems too small for bed frame. But it didn't spoil a great holiday would highly recommend Poppy Cottage.

Poppy Cottage was is lovely little cottage situated in Charlton Marshall.

It was the perfect base for exploring Dorset and the surrounding areas. The cottage itself is slightly smaller than it looked in the pictures but is the perfect space for 2 people and had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely recommend and would stay here if travelling to Dorset in the future

A lovely inviting cottage, warm and clean and utterly charming!

Poppy Cottage is a cosy and comfortable place to stay.

The surroundings are peaceful but close to amenities. We had a very enjoyable stay.

Poppy Cottage is a small but very well equipped house with a large garden en good parking place (2 cars).

We have had an excellent stay here and had a very good relation with the owner. My family (2 adults and two adolescent girls) did not want to leave because we felt really at home and accepted. It is very wel situated if you want to explore Dorset and the Jurassic Coast. Beaches, nature and (pre-)historic England are close by and if we want to eat out, there are a lot of very good and not expensive Inn's and restaurants. Charlton Marshall itself is a small village with not much to do but the nearby villages and cities have enough to offer. We are still sad we had to leave after two weeks.

Really comfortable cosy cottage with good beds in a beautiful area for walking.

The open fire in the cool evenings was a plus point.

Had a very enjoyable week, Poppy Cottage was good and comfortable.

However I found that the toilet did not flush properly. I mentioned this to the owner Jean before we left. Also the quilt in the single bedroom was not like the one that was on the double bed. It was lumpy, and did not provide for an adequate covering, and needs to be replaced. Overcame this problem by using the throw over on the 2nd night. Please note that this was not a major issue. Nevertheless, that aside, a nice comfortable cottage in a nice quiet location with all the home comforts and facilities. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. ***Owner Response*** We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Poppy Cottage. Thank you for your suggestions, we have now changed the single duvet and sorted the toilet flush out.

Lovely area.

Delightful cottage Peaceful and tranquil.Thank you for leaving is Milk and biscuits .Very much appreciated

We had a wonderful time, and the cottage added a lot of comfort to our experience.
