“Poppy cottage is absolutely gorgeous, so comfy and cosy.”

The woodburner is fab, we definitely made full use of it, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, plenty of space for a family of 6.Even the 2 ponies in the field facing were lovely to watch. I can recommend staying here to anyone. I would definitely stay again. Fantastic weekend break with the family, that we enjoyed from the minute we arrived.

“Poppy Cottage is set in beautiful surroundings.”

On arrival we went to look where the cottage was and saw the owner by chance who said the cottage would be ready slightly earlier than we anticipated which was fantastic so we popped into Lancaster which is only a short drive away for some supplies and headed back. The cottage is so well equipped with everything you would need, we requested 3 double beds and the 2 downstairs are huge! The views from the living room area and garden are lovely and we were welcomed each morning by the 2 lovely Shetland ponies who were in the paddock at the back next to the garden. We went in March so couldn't sit out in the garden but I'd imagine it would be lovely in the summer with the large doors opening from the living area into the garden. Being fond real ale and food lovers we of course were keen to find the nearest pub, on our drive in we saw The Stork so decided to walk there one afternoon. There is a lovely track that runs along the river that is easily accessible from the cottage albeit you have to descend down the side of a bridge to get on to it but it's pretty easy, although I wouldn't want my 80 year old grandmother attempting it! The Stork is a 20 minute walk away and the track is ideal for dogs to be off the lead, the pub is friendly and welcoming with a large open fire and I was told they kept a very good pint, can I can vouch for the good wine list! We even returned the following day for lunch and the food was outstanding! Real home made food, which you don't find very often these days! The lakes are about an hours away, we drove to Windermere one morning for a walk and not having been to that part of the world before it was outstandingly beautiful. The garden centre on site was lovely to mooch around, lots of lovely locally made bits and bobs, the cafe was being refurbed and it had limited seating when we got there so didn't stay however if was completely full on a Tuesday afternoon which is always a good sign on a week day I say! All in all our trip to poppy cottage was fantastic, great surroundings, lots of places to walk and discover, our 2 night stay was just not long enough!

“Fab barn conversion, well equipped and comfortable.”

The only thing that was a pain was the communal washing machine, but wouldn't stop us going again. Friendly and helpful hosts :)

“Lovely place”

We arrived for the New Year celebrations. Place was lovely and peaceful, which is just what we needed. Rooms were lovely. Watch your head upstairs. We liked the layout and enjoyed our time there. However a great time away was nearly ruined by the owner. Top tip. Take photos as you leave of how you have left the place, as he tried it on asking for more money. He stated that our neighbour had left white dog hairs everywhere. They had 2 black dogs. Would I go back. No. Not after him trying it on. Which is a shame, because the place is lovely. I didnt mark it down, as it is the owner that is at fault, not the place

“Lovely cottage with helpful owners, who, when something wasn't quite right, were quick to respond and put it right.”

Would definitely book again.

- Mrs Ainscough, January 2018
“Great location, lovely and warm and extremely well equiped.”

Liked the neighbour (a very friendly donkey). Garden centre a few yards away serves a lovely breakfast, lunch or cake.

- Mrs Tibbetts, November 2017
“It even has a donkey ( not guaranteed)”

Arrived in the pitch dark. Well hidden down a lane, could do with a sign in the lane, but advantage was how peaceful it was. Extremely well equipped, toasty warm, comfy firm beds, really close to Lancaster but still very much in countryside.Nice walks with the added advantage of a garden centre with a great tearoom a few steps away. Donkey at the bottom of the garden an added bonus. Safe enclosed garden and parking close by for those travelling with little ones. With three bedrooms and two other cottages attached would be great place for a big family gathering.

“Very welcoming owner lovely cottage very quiet”

- Rev Scott-miller, March 2017

“A Pleasant Restful Stay”

We stayed in the cottage for three nights. It was comfortable and spacious and we enjoyed it. Everything was very clean and it was convenient for us because it was 5-10 minutes from Lancaster by car. Please be aware that there were no weighing scales or functional measuring jug, which we understand has now been rectified. Please be aware that there is absolutely no food provided, this includes coffee, milk, sugar or salt. The caretaker may be able to supply these things. We will certainly think of staying at the cottage again for it's convenience. Importantly, it is a more relaxed place to stay than a budget hotel at a comparable price.

The historic city of Lancaster sits on edge of Morecambe Bay, with the River Lune flowing through its centre. Lancaster retains many excellent examples of handsome Georgian architecture, and with its captivating medieval castle, Ashton Memorial, and four museums, it’s an interesting place for those in search of history and tales of the past. Among the many amenities, there are two venues for live performances, the Lancaster Grand Theatre and the Dukes, as well as open-air concerts held frequently in the pretty Williamson Park during the summer season.
