Comfortable bedrooms and good bathroom facilities. The kitchen is quite small but worked well though could have been better equipped (a couple of extra bar stools would have been useful and more glasses and crockery - ideally free of chips). We enjoyed the garden and grounds and Nikki was a very welcoming and responsive host. ##### John N.

It had everything we needed for our stay, and so peaceful. The garden was perfect for a dog, really secure, and then all the woodlands around for walking meant we didn’t have to travel anywhere if we didn’t want to! Nikki was very friendly, helpful and easy to contact. ##### Susan N.

And with 2 Labradors and a teenage son in tow as well. Communication with Nikki both before and during our stay was brilliant and the location and surrounding are amazing. We'll hopefully get a chance to stay again soon. ##### Tris H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne R., New Hope, USA 2 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Idyllic cottage in beautiful area This property was perfect. Photos are accurate but do not do it complete justice. There were five of us staying here aged from 20s to 80s, and all had a lovely stay. Very spacious cottage, beautifully furnished, comfy and cosy. Plenty of car parking space. Everything that we needed was available within the cottage. Kitchen had all that we needed to cook family meals and make tea or coffee. The outside garden was an ideal place for us to host our local family with its two seating sets with tables, suitable for 10-12 to enjoy tea out on the lawn and enjoy quietude within the the surrounds. Plus the adjacent gym/ping pong provided fun entertainment for those of us with more energy. We also went for lovely walks around the property and local forest, and we even had the owner’s two dogs (Woody and Willow) join us for one of our three mile jaunts in the woods. The location is simply idyllic and beautifully representative of Devon country life, very close to Crediton and its conveniences, such as a Tesco Superstore and two petrol stations. Easy access to the Devon coast at Budleigh and Sidmouth and to Castle Drogo, a modern and interesting castle in a very scenic area. This cottage is really a special experience. Highly recommend. ##### Joanne R.

We could not have asked for a prettier cottage or more delightful location than Poppy's Cottage. The cottage is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, light and airy. Nikki left scones jam and cream to greet us, along with butter, eggs, milk and bread, so we felt immediately at home. There was a wonderful downstairs bedroom and ensuite which suited my parents perfectly. The gardens surrounding the cottage, which guests are free to walk around are stunningly beautiful, and we all loved watching the birds on the bird feeder outside the kitchen window. A day out at Killerton House was ideal for those with mobility issues - there were golf buggies to take guests to the house and around the gardens. The guides were wonderful. All in all, I can honestly say that we have never enjoyed a vacation cottage more. Thank you so much, Nikki for a fantastic experience. We fell in love with Poppy's Cottage and cannot wait to visit again. ##### Amanda C.

Nikki and family were excellent hosts, providing a thoughtful welcome pack for our arrival and on hand for anything we might need, whilst respecting our privacy throughout our stay. We loved the cottage and the tranquility of the setting; If you are looking for peace and a getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life, this is the place to come! As well as your own gated garden, you also have access to beautiful woodland right on your doorstep. We also thoroughly enjoyed exploring the gardens of the main house when they were opened on the Wednesday of our stay, made all the more special by our personal tour being provided by Nikki's two dogs, Woody and Willow! For our teenagers, the private gym and the table tennis were a real bonus. I only wish we could have stayed longer, to explore more of the area and spend more quality time with each other in this beautiful setting. ##### Victoria H.

We were looking for a home base for a few days as we explored Dartmoor and Exeter. Poppy’s Cottage was absolutely perfect - I wish our days had been a little less busy, so we could have enjoyed more time there. Huge cottage that is very well laid out with all the amenities that one might need, along with a gorgeous garden with fragrant flowers all around. Absolutely tranquil - all you could hear was the sounds of birds calling and bees buzzing. Gracious hosts who were great with communication along with kind touches such as leaving milk, eggs, scones on our first day. Very friendly dog welcoming you to play fetch ad infinitum. Would love to come back and stay for longer. Convenient access to a supermarket for stocking up on supplies. Honestly, don’t know how this place could get any better. ##### Fiona R.

The stunning gardens and extensive private woodland were amazing and we and our dog adored exploring. We could have quite happily not gone anywhere else for the entire week! Nikki was a fabulous host … came to see us on arrival (with some great recommendations) and was totally available if needed but otherwise left us to it. Nikki also provided a really thoughtful welcome pack for our dog & some truly scrumptious scones with jam & clotted cream, fresh bread & eggs. Such a nice touch. Can’t recommend highly enough. We did leave the cottage for some lovely days out ….highlights for us were Fingle Bridge & Castle Drogo, Babbacombe, Sidmouth, Beer & Hanlon’s 🤩 ##### Hughie C.

Plenty of room for us all including our dog! We loved the styling of all the rooms and the beds were amazingly comfy! We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed sitting in the garden with a coffee or a wine!!! The location is great - just 15 mins into Exeter and about 45 mins to Exmouth beach which is dog friendly. We ate at The Stables and The Beer Engine - would recommend both. We would love to stay again! ##### Sarah J.

You do feel that you have escaped from life and can enjoy the beautiful cottage and garden. The weather was superb and so enjoyed eating in the garden everyday. The cottage is of a high standard and very well equipped. It is a good location to explore south Devon and beaches. Local amenities are excellent. Nikki was at hand if needed and able to deal with questions. We would love to return. ##### Suzy R.

The welcome pack including scones, jam and cream was a lovely surprise. The log burning stove was lovely for a cold and wet evening and the ping pong table was well used by all. ##### Brenda W.

Very roomy but homely cottage with everything you need available, surrounded by beautiful gardens and nature. Warm welcome received, welcome pack including all essentials and cream tea, fresh eggs and toiletries. Couldn’t want for anything more for our short stay, and hosts were more than accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us, but also respected our privacy. Would happily return. Thank you for a wonderful break. The Barringer & Hill Family. ##### Danielle B.
