  • "We chose Poppy Cottage for its convenient location and space."

    It’s a lovely house and might be ideal for a couple of families, but the main accommodation description should be clearer: the twin room wouldn’t be suitable for children as it’s separate from the main sleeping area, the single would mean another child being disturbed when parents go to bed. We particularly wanted a second shower, but felt unable to use the ensuite shower as it showed visible wiring, the garden needed attention and there were only two outside seats, the WC ceiling was open to the conservatory - less than ideal - and the woodburner was in fact a gas fire which looked like a woodburner. The kitchen was sparsely equipped with precisely enough cutlery for 7 and no extras for subsequent meals or guests. There are not enough pans, no bread knife and lots of chipped crockery. There are significant maintenance issues: damp marks, peeling paint in the main shower and in other areas. Perhaps a floor plan would help future guests.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you found Poppy Cottage to be a lovely home in a convenient location! We’ve taken your comments on board and have updated our listings to ensure the property is described as accurately as possible. We're sorry to hear that the issue with the wires affected your use of the en-suite. Our property managers are scheduled to investigate this promptly. Regarding the outdoor seating, the owner is planning to add two additional chairs soon. As the courtyard is quite compact, they’ve been mindful not to overcrowd the space, but we understand how important comfort is and are working to strike the right balance. We’ve also updated the listing to better reflect the gas fire, and the owner will be replacing the chipped crockery to ensure everything is in good condition for future guests. Thanks again for your helpful insights, they really do help us improve the experience for everyone. Kind regards, Dream Cottages. Property Owner

  • "I think it's advertised for seven people, had we had our full quota, there wouldn't have been enough lounge seating."

    There was only enough for four people at best. We were quite cold at times and couldn't seem to get the lounge radiators at a comfortable level?

  • "Absolutely loved our stay at Poppy Cottage."

    A great space complete with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Lovely touches such as a tray containing tea, coffee and biscuits and enough dishwasher tablets for our stay. The beds were super comfortable and the outside area is perfect and safe for dogs and is a lovely space to enjoy a coffee. Only downside was the advertised hair dryer was missing and I hadn't packed my own, and the washing machine door would not close.

  • "Great location, right in the heart of Beaminster but away from any road noise."

    Large, comfortable rooms, plenty of space. Excellent beds and bedding. Kitchen well equipped. Had a problem with the heating but it was rectified the same day, well done Dream Cottages, excellent service. One of the things we all thought was very strange was the downstairs toilet being part of the conservatory with just a stud wall separating it. The wall only goes 3/4 of the way up so the top part is open to the conservatory. This is an odd set up and made it unusable for us as you could hear everything. It doesn’t seem very hygienic either! Beaminster is lovely, great shops and a couple of good pubs. There are walks from the doorstep of Poppy Cottage which is ideal. Beautiful countryside all around and within easy reach of places like Bridport, West Bay, Burton Bradstock and Lyme Regis.

The property

Poppy Cottage is a simply delightful abode settled into the town of Beaminster.

With close by amenities and welcoming interiors, this property is an ideal base for a family, friends, and their four-legged companions, looking for a getaway to Dorset.

Park off-road and be welcomed into this simply stunning, stone-built cottage, discovering a light and airy kitchen/diner with a good selection of amenities to cater to your culinary needs, as well as dining seating for hearty breakfasts.

The living/dining room is a pretty space with characterful wooden beams, dining seating, and the added ambience of a gas wood-effect stove, encouraging guests to recline with a good book as they reflect on the day's adventures.

Freshen up in either of the two sleek shower rooms, before catching your rest in one of the four well-presented bedrooms, choosing between two doubles, a twin, and a single.

When the sun is shining, make the most of the enclosed garden by dining alfresco, or relax in the warmth of the conservatory.

Beaminster rests in the beautiful scenery of the Dorset National Landscape, offering a selection of eateries, pubs, a convenience store, and many close by walks and attractions.

Options include Kingcombe Meadows Nature Reserve, Mapperton House Gardens & Wildlands, Beaminster Museum, and Coney's Castle.

The town is also close to many walks through the East Devon National Landscape and the Blackdown Hills AONB, making this an ideal spot for hiking and birdwatching.

For a day at the seaside, head over to Lyme Regis, where there are many eateries, watersports, and stunning beaches where guests can hunt for fossils, as well as independent shops to be browsed at your leisure.

Charmouth is also well worth a visit, allowing guests to learn more about the local area at the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre, before heading to the beach to fossil hunt.

There is simply so much to be explored with a stay at the beautiful Poppy Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
