"Astonishingly well dec'd out cottage, presented to a very high standard, with a big outdoor securely locked room for storing bikes (and big enough for ebikes too)."
Extremely comfy bed. Well stocked kitchen. On arrival, it was lovely to find tea, coffee and biscuits and ... milk and juice in fridge. Really enjoyed the cosy evenings sat in front of the warm woodburner listening and chatting over smooth music out of the BOSE speaker. Location is icing on the cake. Grasmere is great with good pubs and good food and if you want to go further, the bus is just outside the cottage to get you elsewhere. We didn't use the car all week which was so nourishing. Walks and bikes from the front door too. And fab views all around. Would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for putting in the effort to produce this place for people to rent and enjoy.

Lovely cottage very warm & comfortable A TV would be a nice addition in the bedroom so on dark cold evenings after walks you can curl up in bed and watch a film Other than that 10/010 be back soon
Thank you for your 100% score Keith! As the cottage is for up to 4 guests we find that the smart TV in the lounge is more than adequate! It is especially cosy if you light the wood-burning stove too ! Property Owner

"A beautiful cottage well maintained and perfectly located ."
Grasmere is a stunning little village and we will definitely be visiting again . I the winter months maybe suggest an outside light .

"Poppy's is a really lovely cottage."
Stayed here with my 84 year old mum in July. It's very comfortable has quality furnishings and feels like home with lots of nice touches. Comfy beds, beautiful bathrooms and a great kitchen.....it's not big....Poppy's is not a big house but extremely well thought out. Did a bit of cooking and there is a handy Co-op just around the corner. We enjoyed sitting in the courtyard for breakfast and for afternoon sun. Also there is a pleasant public 'green' at the front of the property, which can get busy during the day but then very quiet after about 5pm. We both slept really well, it's very peaceful by night and no traffic noise. Grasmere is a fantastic base in the Lake District. Stunning scenery and some great walking right out of the front door - some real gems such as Helm Crag, Silverhowe and Easedale tarn. Also a really good bus service up to Keswick or Ambleside if you need. You won't go far wrong at Poppy's cottage.

"Just got back from poppy cottage and have to say it is one of the best properties we've stayed in."
Owners have thought if everything right down to the last detail. We will be back!!
-
"Poppy's Cottage is perfectly located in the centre of Grasmere."
The parking permit for the Car Park is very useful as are the spaces outside the property, especially for loading & unloading! It is very well resourced, well decorated and very comfortable. The welcome pack is a lovely touch as is the Bluetooth speaker. It's our third stay at Poppy's and our 'go to' choice so we will most probably be back again next year. Thank You!
Thank you for your kind words! Please do come back Douglas, especially as you brought the good weather with you! Property Owner

"This was our second visit."
Great cottage, great location. Parking arrangement very useful and handy to have spaces opposite for loading and unloading. Very clean and comfortable. Generous Welcome pack and well-appointed kitchen. You can stand in the doorway and smell the gingerbread being baked! Mathilde's cafe and many other excellent places to eat all in easy walking distance. Great steep and more challenging walks easily accessible from the cottage. Useful utility/boot room for washing and drying just across the little courtyard. Also good to have a bit of outside space to sit/eat in. We love Poppy's cottage and will definitely book again.

"An absolutely delightful Cottage in a central location in the beautiful Village of Grasmere."
On entering the property we immediately knew we had made the right choice. This cottage has a real WOW factor, it is cosy, immaculate and the attention to detail from the quality furniture to the soft furnishings really is on point. This was further enhanced with the very generous welcome package of Fresh Bread, Milk, Butter, Biscuits and Chocolate. This really is a superb property in a prime location and is literally a second’s walk from the local pubs, shops and restaurants and I couldn’t recommend more highly. We have learnt that this property is part of a small group and we are now looking to visit all of them starting with their Prospect Studio in Ambleside in a few weeks from now. This is purely based on the quality and attention to detail we experienced at Poppy’s Cottage. This certainty will not be our last visit to Poppy’s Cottage and the only downside was having to leave. Thank you to the owners and to all those involved in making our stay so comfortable, enjoyable and memorable…. Simply put ‘Outstanding ‘
Thank you so much for your review! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay ay Poppy's Cottage.....we love it too! We look forward to welcoming you at Prospect Studio very soon! Property Owner

"This is a beautifully decorated and well-appointed cottage in the centre of Grasmere."
We have now stayed at Poppy Cottage twice and would highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words. Do come back and visit us for a third time! Property Owner
-
"Great place to stay."
Very clean, comfortable, well appointed and welcoming. Free parking just around the corner was a real bonus. Really good to be so central for walking, eating out and browsing in shops. Very comfy sofas and beds and a view of the fells from the front windows! In addition ,the little patio garden and the boot/ dryingr room made everything complete for a brilliant holiday destination.
-
"We had a great stay at Poppy’s cottage."
The cottage was cozy , confortable and very well equiped. The kitchen was full of everything you need to prepare your meals. There was a lovely garden in the back. We hope to be here again.
-
"Really beautiful cottage in centre of Grasmere."
Immaculately clean and everything we needed. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, thank you. The furnishings were of very high standard and the beds very comfortable. We would certainly recommend this property, hopefully we can return.
-
"On previous occasions we see stayed in Poppy's cottage we have had shower gel supplied & a shower caddy in the bathroom would be great (like in the ensuite)."
Larger bath sheets would be appreciated & summer tog duvets & sheets as an alternative for us menopausal women (when warm weather is forecast)! A small amount of washing detergent would be useful seeing as a washing machine is available & a spare bin bag too. We noticed that there was a fish slice missing.... The food tray was amazing & very generous thank you-very much appreciated. These are all trivial & minor points & did not detract from yet another comfortable stay at this beautiful home from home. We are definitely planning to come back in 2024!
Thank you for your feedback Lynn; we agree that Poppy's Cottage is a beautiful home from home! We do take advice from Sykes regarding the amenities that we provide within the cottage, however we will replace the fish slice if it has disappeared! We are glad you enjoyed the welcome pack. Please do come back and visit us again soon! Property Owner

"We had a wonderful holiday staying at Poppy's Cottage."
The location was perfect, the cottage very well equipped, comfortable and homely and the welcome pack on arrival was gratefully received too! We definitely would be very happy to stay there again.
-
"Absolutely stunning property in my favourite place to be."
Could have stayed forever. Even the torrential rain didn’t spoil our holiday. Will definitely be booking again.
-
"It’s really comfortable, well equipped and so clean."
Second time to stay there. We had quite some rain this time - which as a consequence of gutter overflow from the shop next door gave a continual dripping noise if sleeping in the front bedroom. Not your fault - but May wish to speak with your neighbour to fix the gutter. Otherwise a perfect stay! We love it! Douglas and Christine Ullah - tel 07711 756940

"Poppy's Cottage is a beautiful and surprisingly spacious cottage and perfect in every way."
Over the years we have stayed in numerous self catering cottages, but this one was by far the best so far. A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. You cannot ask for more.
-
"The only negative is that requesting customers to strip all the bedding may have good intentions ( +/- post covid guidelines) but due to individual guest disabilities, this was extremely difficult."
Spot on otherwise - best accomodation we've ever been to.
-
"VERY NICELY FURNISHED AND COMFORTABLE."
ONLY THING WAS BACK ROOM VERY COSY.
-
"Excellent cottage, beautifully decorated in perfect location."
We would definitely stay here again.
-
"Poppy's Cottage was in the centre of Grasmere and very convenient for the frequent buses to local towns and walking to restaurants etc."
Nearby co-op for stocking up. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. The second bedroom is small for a double but there is storage on landing outside. TV channels limited - didn't seem to have full freeview but that may be a locality issue. Would be more of an issue on dark or rainy nights. Very clean and well looked after. Would recommend and go back ourselves.
-
"A lovely cottage lovely finishing touches like food hamper spotless"
-
"Difficult to say how it could be improved."
The house was immaculate and very clean. Just had a little difficulty working the microwave but I think we got the hang of it eventually. Location was perfect and seriously looking to visit again next year. Not a problem but couldn't get the TV to work. I think the remote controls needed new batteries but it didn't bother us - we aren't TV addicts. Otherwise I would recommend it to anyone - coming back.
Thank you so much for your kind words about the cottage; they are always lovely to hear. We are sorry that you didn't manage to work the TV. We have checked it at changeover and with our current guests and it is working fine. Please do come back and visit the cottage again. Property Owner

"We stayed at Poppy's Cottage in February and loved everything about it."
The location is perfect for exploring the Lake District, whether on foot, or by car. The village of Grasmere is beautiful and has lots of lovely places to eat and we did several walks from the accommodation, which could all be varied to suit ability/duration. The standard within the accommodation is very high and everything has been thought through to enable you to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We would definitely recommend Poppy's Cottage and hope to return very soon!
-
"On arrival we were greeted by the site of the Christmas tree lit up for al the village to see through the window."
The cottage was warm and inviting. The blinds certainly are a bonus from our first visit. The cottage is spotless and could not fault a thing. We are ready to re-book for next December - a magical time of year in Grasmere and in a very beautiful cottage. Barbara
-
"Great holiday accommodation located in the centre of the village."
Easy access to the many countryside walks during the day and the local restaurants in the evening. Very clean, warm and inviting. Good heated outhouse for drying wet clothes and shoes.
-
"Our 3rd visit we love this cottage a real home from home in great location"
-
"Lovely property - the only issues I had that reflected the 3 star rating were the lack of space in the second bedroom (maybe stress this in listing) & the small supply of logs for the Woodburn, particularly as we were staying in November."
And just one house key provided wasn't ideal
-
"Very nice location, clean and ample kitchen utilities."
-
"The cottage was very well equipped and exceptionally clean!"
It is located in a really good location in the heart of Grasmere. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We had a fantastic stay.
-
"The cottage was beautifully decorated and appointed and sparkling clean."
It is right in the heart of Grasmere which makes it very convenient for strolling out in the evening to eat out.
-
"Fabulous cottage in the heart of Grasmere This was our third stay at this cottage, we would definitely stay again"
-
"Without doubt, this was the most comfortable, spotlessly clean, luxurious well positioned cottage we've stayed at in the Lake District."
Such a beautiful and well thought out space with every attention to detail being catered for. We will definitely stay there again and wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else now that we've discovered Poppy's Cottage.
-
"Very good location."
Lovely decor, well maintained. Excellent quality furniture - “Ercol” bedside tables for instance. Loved every minute of our week there. Kitchen needs a wall cupboard or more shelves for storage of food eg cans, drinks, crisps etc that don’t require refrigeration but are otherwise taking up work surface and can be sometimes in the sun. Another key would be very useful not just for when people go out in different directions but for easy access to rear yard and bins without having to keep taking it from front door . Key safe a little difficult to operate Overall a great place
-
"Beautiful cottage on the heart of village every thing we needed was there very comfortable and relaxing"
-
"This was our third visit to Poppy cottage and it was as wonderful and beautiful as ever."
The only disappointment was that the cleaners didn't finish cleaning the cottage until 5.45pm. They said that they were not expecting anybody as they thought there had been a cancellation which was not the case.
-
"We had a lovely stay at Poppy’s cottage and would definitely return!"
It’s in a fantastic location and the cottage itself is nice and cosy with everything you need. Our only niggle was that the floors, kitchen counters and a few other surfaces weren’t quite as clean as we’d hoped when we arrived. It didn’t feel as though any extra cleaning measures had been put in place under the current circumstances. Other than that everything else was perfect!
-
"4 of us just spent a week here(2 couples) , have to say how beautiful it is , it’ done out to a high spec with no expense spared , bed extra comfy, bathrooms amazing especially roll top bath, down stairs lovely well stocked kitchen flowing through to living area with dining table and 2 sofas with smart tv , a back yard with table & chairs and nice dry room with washer & dryer, parking permit nice touch saved us £££ , all in all a fantastic week in Poppy’s would highly recommend, will be back."
Thanks

"Superb cottage, excellent quality and location, 10 out of 10"
-
"A beautiful cottage in a perfect setting."
The standard of the cottage was extremely high. We look forward to going back.
-
"This was the second time we had stayed in Poppy's cottage and it was just as great as the first!"
We were a little apprehensive about going anywhere due to Covid but the cottage and everything in it was absolutely spotless so we felt relaxed and reassured. We were also very appreciative of the advice produced by Sykes before the holiday and a reminder of the things we should take in the light of Covid. We love this cottage and feel completely at home here. The attention to detail is fantastic. We didn't want to venture into pubs and restaurants so we were fairly self sufficient. However we did order some very nice sour dough pizzas on our first night which were delivered from Ambleside and on our last night we had an amazing take away meal from 'The Jumble Room' in Grasmere. As usual we didn't have to use the car as there are so many walks from the centre of Grasmere. We will definitely be back!
-
"Beautiful cottage, very clean and well equipped."
Excellent communication with the owner including prompt service when we had a minor issue. Pass for the local carpark was great. Will definitely recommend to others and book if we go to the Lakes again.
-
"The bed in the front bedroom needs some 'TLC' as the frame creeks."
..a lot! The interior upgrade has been completed to a really good standard and the location is ideal for hillwalkers.
-
"Poppy cottage was immaculately clean, beautifully renovated and in the perfect position."
Fantastic walks from the door and a selection of cafes, restaurants and bars minutes away.
-
"A perfect cottage, everything you could possibly need and all the facilities to hand."
Every detail had been thoughtfully given to Poppy's Cottage, and excellent base for the beautiful Lakes.
-
"Wonderful location."
Gorgeous cottage. Nice to see the owners respond to comments made to improve the cottage even more.
-
"We originally booked this cottage for us and two friends but then had to change our plans."
We rebooked Pollys Cottage for just ourselves on a different date. We were very glad we did as I’m not sure the friendship would have lasted the week. Although very comfortable we felt it was too small for two couples. With two cars the cost of parking would have been a bone of contention as there was only one parking permit for the cottage. There were no instructions for the microwave (though I found some on the internet). We were asked to make sure we emptied the bin in the kitchen ‘regularly’ but no replacement bag was provided. We try to ensure we recycle as much as possible but the recycling information was very sketchy. We ended up returning home with all our glass and cans as we were unable to find suitable recycling facilities. We enjoyed our week but had we taken our original booking I’m not sure we would have done.
-
"Beautiful cottage, with all the facilities you could want."
Central to Grasmere village so certainly not a quiet location but if you’re out late and up early it would be ideal.
-
"Fabulous cottage in a perfect location."
Just a couple of observations from us (not complaints but we feel they would improve the overall experience of Poppy's Cottage). This was the most expensive cottage we have ever rented in the Lake District so it needs to present itself accordingly please:- 1. Towels - larger bath towels (sheets) would be lovely - the bath towels supplied only just cover the bare necessities so functional but not luxury. I was at fear of exposing myself to my brother-in-law which would have been a pretty scary experience for him :). 2. Kitchen towel (only 1?) and tea towels (2). We like to cook at home when we are away so could have done with a few more towels and tea towels. 3. Very disappointed to have to buy washing tablets and fabric conditioner (none supplied), washing up liquid, toilet cleaner, etc. There were a few dishwasher tablets but we are used to having these items provided and only topping them up if needs be. We are also used to leaving behind anything that we have bought for the next visitor. We took everything that we had purchased home with us on this occasion. It gave the impression that the cottage was all about show and not about providing the ultimate cottage experience. 4. The second bedroom makes use of a storage cupboard on the landing as there is absolutely no space for anything in the room. This in itself is not a huge problem (the photos are deceptive on the size of the room to be honest), however, a light in the cupboard would have been helpful as my sister spent ages with a torch in the cupboard looking for her clothes!! 5. The sofas are not comfortable - after a long day climbing Helvellyn, etc, when you do decide to stay in for an evening it would be have been nice to have comfortable sofas (minimally footstools provided). There were 4 of us so we were somewhat perched which wasn't great. 6. The outside 'laundry/drying' room was a god send - perfect for all of our walking equipment and great to have a heater in there to dry out the wet clothing. 7. TV services were excellent - great to have internet TV with iPlayer, Netflix, etc. Overall, I would give this cottage 9/10 - if the owner just went a little bit further it could so easily be a 10 and we would definitely be back!

"A beautiful cottage in lovely Grasmere."
Poppy’s cottage is cosy and comfortable. The decor and furnishings are tasteful and of a high quality. Showers were hot and strong and the kitchen well equipped. The courtyard space looked lovely but unfortunately a week of rain meant we weren’t able to use it ! If we had been able to sit out I don’t think the garden chairs would have been too comfortable for long so it would be nice if some relaxer type chairs were also provided ( they could be stored in the wet room). Poppy’s is located in the heart of Grasmere with many cafes and shops close by so lovely to stroll out (even in the rain) . However it does mean that passers by continually stop to look in and even sit on the outside wall which can get a little annoying. Overall a lovely cottage from which to explore a beautiful part of the UK.
-
"Poppy Cottage was the perfect holiday cottage, thoughtfully designed with everything we needed and more."
Very high spec finish and spotlessly clean. Brilliant central location (if you don't mind people walking past having a nosey in through the window!). Would thoroughly recommend.

The cottage is immaculately clean with high quality fixtures and fittings and is located in the heart of a beautiful tranquil village close to all amenities

"This cottage was the best we’ve ever stayed in."
.. it was so beautifully decorated. It was perfect in every way. We would have been happy to stay there forever... Grasmere is a wonderful village, all cafes & pubs are welcoming & friendly & all the many walks from here are outstanding & beautiful... we can’t wait to go back. Thank you.
-
"The cottage is lovely but the sofas are very uncomfortable"
-
"Fantastic cottage in a glorious location, clean and tidy and lovely attention to detail."
-
"The cottage was absolutely gorgeous, clean and comfortable."
We had everything we needed and would certainly recommend. The village was so quaint and lovely. The Lake District is stunning and will definitely go back.
-
"This is a lovely cottage filled with everything you might need to make the most of the wonderful village of Grasmere."
We were very fortunate that we didn’t need to use the wet room in the rear garden but made full use of the stone wall at the front. It was perfect for the afternoon sun, a cup of tea, a good book and soaking up the atmosphere and watching the day tourists have to leave this marvellous place. Apologies if this lowered the tone of the village but we loved it and hope to be back soon.

Poppy's cottage is ideally situated in Grasmere for walking and touring the Lake District, we found it extremely comfortable and met all our needs
-
"I would highly recommend Poppys cottage."
The owners have finished the property to a high standard and on arrival spotlessly clean. We had a lovely holiday in this lovely cottage and would return without any hesitation.
-
"We had a super week in this very cosy and comfortable cottage."
It is beautifully decorated and maintained and in a perfect location. Village has good places to eat and drink, and there is a good co op around the corner . Great walks from the front door so we didn't need to use the car and a good bus service from across the road. We loved our week in Poppy' s and hope to return.
-
"Great location, beautiful cottage with great home comforts."
Only 2 minor negatives. Terrible smell in en suite bathroom which we could not get rid of so we didnt use it. And the radiator would not turn down so was unbearably hot. Also, the car park permit system is not ideal. we came from the north and late on so going to Windermere to collect it was not on our agenda. And we would have had to return it on the last day. A real faff. We got round it being in Grasmere at Christmas there was plenty of parking. There needs to be a better system for it. Otherwise a great holiday will probably return again. Thankyou
-
"Ideal property in a prefect location!"
-
"Beautifully presented cottage in a central location on the green in the village."
Exceptionally clean with all the amenities required for any form of holiday. A lovely location with great cafes and restaurants close by, we would highly recommend this property and would gladly book it again.
-
"Poppy’s Cottage is everything we wanted in a holiday home and more."
We instantly felt relaxed and at a home away from home. There was only 2 of us staying in the cottage but it felt plenty big enough for more people. The location in Grasmere was perfect. We hardly used our car throughout the whole week because we could walk to everything. It was a beautiful week and we look forward to returning next year.
-
"The cottage was beautiful, comfy and above all clean!"
! The attention to detail was outstanding as was the decor and furnishings. We will definitely be back at Poppys Cottage.
-
"This is a lovely cottage placed right in the very heart of Grasmere."
The owner has renovated Poppy's Cottage to a very high spec indeed and there is everything you could possibly need and then some. Tastefully decorated throughout and having the benefit of 2 bathrooms ( a large family and an en suite). The cottage is very comfortable and has only just been renovated and put on the holiday market so is all shiny and new and far superior to some cottages we have experienced. The TV is also a proper 4k large unit, so we got our evening 'strictly takes 2' fix with Zoe in style. We also had pretty good weather too, not bad for October!. The annex houses the washer/dryer and a thoughtfully placed panel heater and hooks are provided to dry your wet walking gear. There are numerous great walks right from the door and we barely used the car all week....parking was no issue due to the parking permit allowing us to park the car 24/7 in a nearby car park about 100 yards away, you are allowed to unload right outside the door too which is useful. We turned up on the first Friday of the month which is market day, but the stall holders helped us gain access and then we had some nice produce to buy right on the doorstep!. Sykes Cottages who handle this property were superb from start to finish, very helpful and friendly staff making this a lovely holiday experience. We would highly recommend both Sykes and this super Cottage.
-
"We absolutely loved Poppy's Cottage."
The location was fantastic. We didn't have to use the car all week as there are so many wonderful walks from Grasmere. The cottage is beautiful. It is so well coordinated with so much attention to detail. We felt extremely comfortable here we will definitely be back!
-
"Poppys is beautifully equipped and maintained."
The location is great within walking distance of many lovely places, good access on public transport (I recommend the 599 open bus on a sunny day!) and with a car, most of the Lake District is accessible within an hour. The arrangement with the local car-park, the late night Co-op and Lucias made the stay all the more pleasurable. There are at least a dozen great places to eat within walking distance of Poppys and we tried most of them. And apart from the gingerbread habit we picked up, it was fantastic.
-
"Absolutely lovely cottage in a prime location in Grasmere."
One of the best holiday cottages I've ever stayed in, very cosy and an excellent standard throughout, didn't want to leave. Another brilliant holiday with Sykes Cottages
-
"Poppy's cottage is newly refurbished and it is absolutely charming!"
They really did it right - the attention to detail is stunning. Every need has been taken care of from laundry detergent to cookies and tea to ensuite bathrooms. The combination of history and modern conveniences is exactly what I was looking for. I booked late and couldn't believe my luck in finding this wonderful cottage. I had been combing through MANY pictures when I found Poppy's Cottage. It turns out that it had only just come on the market so I just lucked out. This cottage will book up. Upon arrival, I found pamphlets, brochures and maps to help me plan my trip, next to the tea and cookies. The owners were perfect hosts and Sykes Cottage personnel were very helpful. I could not have asked for anything better. The cottage is beautiful, comfortable and perfectly located in the center of town. I was so happy to wake up and come home each day to spend time in this beautiful cottage. I came all the way to the Lake District from California, USA. My trip was everything I had hoped for and more (and I'm fussy). Thank you to Jo and Andrew for making one of my bucket list trips a dream come true.

Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century, and Grasmere Lake. Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere, and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance.
