  • "We had a fabulous short break at Poppy Cottage."

    Very well equipped cottage, comfy king size bed and had everything we needed for a few days away.

  • "This was our 5th stay in Southwold and our second time at Poppy Cottage."

    We love it here and the cottage is perfect for us as a family, we have already looked at availability for our next stay at Poppy Cottage. It’s is so clean, cosy and the location is perfect. It has everything we need and we look forward to returning!

  • "Good property, comfortable for four of us and blessed with good weather been to Southwold many times."

    Point to note very sharp edge on shower screen adult daughter sustained a large gnash on leg.

  • "Lovely cottage in fantastic location."

    Perfect size for 2 adults and toddler. Good size sitting room, practical kitchen with everything you need, nice downstairs cloakroom (with washing machine), very good bathroom with Velux window (you can hear the sea when open!), very comfortable bedrooms. Good size patio out back which becomes a sun spot - really relaxing. Really sleepy cottage, with excellent feel. A lot of thought has gone into providing guests with everything they need, so I would recommend, and we hope to stay again. If there was only one criticism; I'm sure guests would appreciate the standard milk, butter, bread on arrival. Final touch would make this property excellent.

    The location is amazing just a minute to the beach and into town.

  • "Beautifully designed cottage and great location."

    Comfortable bed and good storage in the main bedroom. Few niggles: Sofa is uncomfortable Bottle bank is not where the cottage info said! Table too close to the fridge so difficult to get to fridge easily. Pyrex jug and bowls would be helpful - also a cupboard free to store groceries etc. Kettle needs descaling asap! Other than that we loved it!!

  • "Bearing in mind you have cleaners going in once the property is vacated, we were disappointed to find a large cobweb underneath one of the kitchen cupboards and a large dust ball hanging from the underneath of the landing radiator."

    Generally speaking, the property was of an acceptable clean standard. With regards to the appliances in the kitchen, all worked properly, however, in our opinion the dishwasher was too small given that four people can stay in the cottage. With regards to the main bathroom, our only comment is the glass shelf above the wash basin is positioned in an almost dangerous position when one wants to bend to rinse their mouth for example - one has to actually duck your head underneath the shelf to access the basin properly. Bed was very comfortable, but alas, the sofa was on the hard side and not particularly comfortable to sit on. The welcome pack does need to be updated to include the correct information regarding the recycling bottle bank location and also the fact the recycling bins are only collected on a fortnightly basis rotating with the general waste bin. Regarding the above, we did enjoy our time at Poppy Cottage, neighbours were lovely and welcoming - location was great. We look forward to returning.

    No room in kitchen to store food in cupboards. Bins were overflowing outside.

    So close to the beach, The Lord Nelson and the shops. Only wish it had a cafeteria and then it would be 10s all round! I would still go back!

    It’s nice and cozy, with excellent heating, very welcoming in a chilly December.

  • "Lovely cosy property, perfect for a winter break."

    Good facilities, comfy bed with plenty of storage for clothing. Might be a good idea to put a drip tray inside the front door for muddy/sandy boots. Southwold is gorgeous so we had a very relaxing stay. Thank you.

  • "Just how nice Poppy Cottage is doesn’t really come across in the bio."

    The location is absolutely perfect and we have already decided this will be our first choice accommodation for future visits to Southwold. The housekeepers left the cottage spotless, thank you. Thanks also for the wine and biscuits! Most welcome. A deadlock on the front door for extra security would be nice as would a second set of keys. All in all we enjoyed a lovely week!

    Everything we needed for a family of four plus dog! We particularly appreciated the flexibility the owner showed! This was very much noticed and welcomed!

    I would have scored 5 on all areas except that when the front door accidently slammed shut (due to wind) there was no second key provision and we all got drenched for over 2 hours until help arrived. Lovely place even if parking is a exercise in luck. Hope you like seagulls

  • "Poppy Cottage has been refurbished to an extremely high standard."

    My wife and I enjoyed our stay very much because it was so comfortable and its location to the shops and beach and pier so convenient. Parking was so easy even when none was to be found in Victoria St. Now some bad points. None of the locks on internal doors work to hold the door shut except the lounge door. Even the privacy locks on the WC and bathroom do not engage so no privacy ! Front and back door have to be slammed very hard to engage the locks on exit. User manuals for kitchen equipment were not to be found even in the location mentioned in the guide book.
