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

- Ms Mallamwhite, October 2020
Mrs Poynter September 2020

“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.

“Perfect cottage”

Poppy cottage was perfect for our family holiday. The cottage had everything we needed, was clean and well kept. Our host was fantastic, and was available to give advise as needed. We will definitely stay here again when we next visit the area.

“Cosy, peaceful well equipped cottage”

A lovely cottage, small but perfectly formed. Well equipped with plenty of local information which was great for planning our walks. Peaceful and comfortably furnished and great to be able to light a fire in the evenings.

The property

In a terrace of about twelve cottages on the edge of Charlton Marshall village is this dear little cottage.

Surrounded by countryside and unspoiled, it is a tranquil base for small families or adults to relax.

Head down a couple of steps through the porch into the snug sitting room where you can chill out beside the open fire or enjoy your meals, prepared in the well equipped kitchen.

Head on up the steep olde worlde stairs to the two pretty bedrooms, both looking over the garden.

The garden is safely enclosed and charming with roses and clematis sheltering the table and chairs.

Wander out to the village pub, which conveniently offers WiFi, or go fishing in the local river valley.

Head to the handsome resorts of Poole or Bournemouth for some seaside fun or to admire the boats in Poole Harbour, or try the more peaceful coastline around iconic Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove which is timeless walking country.

Poppy Cottage is a lovely place to recharge your batteries or walk and cycle on the Stour Valley Way.
