October 2018
This is a lovely cottage placed right in the very heart of Grasmere.. The owner has renovated Poppy's Cottage to a very high spec indeed and there is everything you could possibly need and then some.
Tastefully decorated throughout and having the benefit of 2 bathrooms ( a large family and an en suite). The cottage is very comfortable and has only just been renovated and put on the holiday market so is all shiny and new and far superior to some cottages we have experienced. The TV is also a proper 4k large unit, so we got our evening 'strictly takes 2' fix with Zoe in style. We also had pretty good weather too, not bad for October!.
The annex houses the washer/dryer and a thoughtfully placed panel heater and hooks are provided to dry your wet walking gear. There are numerous great walks right from the door and we barely used the car all week....parking was no issue due to the parking permit allowing us to park the car 24/7 in a nearby car park about 100 yards away, you are allowed to unload right outside the door too which is useful.
We turned up on the first Friday of the month which is market day, but the stall holders helped us gain access and then we had some nice produce to buy right on the doorstep!.
Sykes Cottages who handle this property were superb from start to finish, very helpful and friendly staff making this a lovely holiday experience.
We would highly recommend both Sykes and this super Cottage.
