Poppy Cottage
Description
Poppy Cottage is a simply delightful abode settled into the town of Beaminster.
With close by amenities and welcoming interiors, this property is an ideal base for a family, friends, and their four-legged companions, looking for a getaway to Dorset.
Park off-road and be welcomed into this simply stunning, stone-built cottage, discovering a light and airy kitchen/diner with a good selection of amenities to cater to your culinary needs, as well as dining seating for hearty breakfasts.
The living/dining room is a pretty space with characterful wooden beams, dining seating, and the added ambience of a gas wood-effect stove, encouraging guests to recline with a good book as they reflect on the day's adventures.
Freshen up in either of the two sleek shower rooms, before catching your rest in one of the four well-presented bedrooms, choosing between two doubles, a twin, and a single.
When the sun is shining, make the most of the enclosed garden by dining alfresco, or relax in the warmth of the conservatory.
Beaminster rests in the beautiful scenery of the Dorset National Landscape, offering a selection of eateries, pubs, a convenience store, and many close by walks and attractions.
Options include Kingcombe Meadows Nature Reserve, Mapperton House Gardens & Wildlands, Beaminster Museum, and Coney's Castle.
The town is also close to many walks through the East Devon National Landscape and the Blackdown Hills AONB, making this an ideal spot for hiking and birdwatching.
For a day at the seaside, head over to Lyme Regis, where there are many eateries, watersports, and stunning beaches where guests can hunt for fossils, as well as independent shops to be browsed at your leisure.
Charmouth is also well worth a visit, allowing guests to learn more about the local area at the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre, before heading to the beach to fossil hunt.
There is simply so much to be explored with a stay at the beautiful Poppy Cottage.

What guests are saying
Excellent property
Lovely environment beautifully clean and comfortable.
Highly recommend
We chose Poppy Cottage for its convenient location and space.
It’s a lovely house and might be ideal for a couple of families, but the main accommodation description should be clearer: the twin room wouldn’t be suitable for children as it’s separate from the main sleeping area, the single would mean another child being disturbed when parents go to bed. We particularly wanted a second shower, but felt unable to use the ensuite shower as it showed visible wiring, the garden needed attention and there were only two outside seats, the WC ceiling was open to the conservatory - less than ideal - and the woodburner was in fact a gas fire which looked like a woodburner. The kitchen was sparsely equipped with precisely enough cutlery for 7 and no extras for subsequent meals or guests. There are not enough pans, no bread knife and lots of chipped crockery. There are significant maintenance issues: damp marks, peeling paint in the main shower and in other areas. Perhaps a floor plan would help future guests.
