This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 20 Aug 2023 #### Nice location We enjoyed our stay at Poppy Cottage Nice location although you will need to drive for shops and restaurants, two nice pub's that serve food tho. The Cottage comfortable and well equipped but did lack some items that were listed in the inventory ie washer dryer and barbecue which apparently Keepers Cottages are not responsible for. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 29 Aug 2023 #### Lovely cottage We enjoyed our stay here in this cosy cottage; it is conveniently located for dog walks and nice and quiet at night-time. It’s close to some lovely pubs and a great rock-pool beach (although the tide can move fast here). Plenty of castles nearby to visit and a good swimming pool in Deal if you have kids or like to slide. The cottage is well equipped with a nice garden area and allows a dog to stay. Lovely wooden floors throughout and a friendly and relaxed area to stay in. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 4 Sept 2023 #### Disappointed We were disappointed with this property. A very late and as it turned out useless attempt to sort out a washer dryer as listed really upset our enjoyment - with two very young children it was a nightmare. We would NOT have booked it if no washer dryer - we would have gone elsewhere. It was also not that clean. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Karen Aram 7 Jan 2024 #### A mixed experience The positives; the staff at Keepers have been helpful and polite at all times. They contacted us as soon the problem came to light. The problem? The website. We selected a cottage on a beech, to find, too late, that, apparently we’d booked a flat in a block in a completely different location. We feel pretty confident we know the difference between a cottage and a flat. Be aware. Unfortunately there’s been no explanation about this, so we’re none the wiser as to how this happened. We either had to go, or pay for a whole new place. At this point we paid again for Poppy Cottage. The owners of Poppy Cottage like to turn the boiler and water mains off; so you’ll be welcomed into a freezing cottage with no water until you turn it all on yourself and wait. Disappointing in the middle of winter. There’s no milk or anything extra just so you’re aware. Nice company, frustrating issues for us. ##### Karen Aram ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [5* Detached Stone Cottage with a Private Indoor Pool (Not Shared)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashbourne-Hotels-5-Detached-Stone-Cottage-With-A-Private-Indoor-Pool.h31752210.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Windsor Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Egham-Hotels-Fairmont-Windsor-Park.h60335617.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Macdonald-Old-England-Hotel-Spa.h10610.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [ORIDA Maidstone Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-ORIDA-Maidstone-Hotel.h74419166.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Aphrodites Group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Aphrodites-Group.h901033.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information)
