Positives, Lovely location and very peaceful. Well equipped kitchen. Negatives, cobwebs and spiders everywhere, couldn’t use the wardrobe due to too many cobwebs. Heating difficult to control. Shower power very poor. Description and pictures of property incorrect. There is no dishwasher, no dressing gowns supplied and only one sofa and one armchair. Bed could do with a new mattress. Bathroom downstairs, could be a problem for some people. Main light in bedroom didn’t work. Remote control for main tv, kept coming up with replace batteries. Blind in kitchen dirty and pull chain broken. Had 2 power cuts and only one small torch provided. We were told this happens frequently. One power cut lasted 7 hours. Only one hand towel provided. Response to issues reported were poor.

Little gem of a place to stay, location was very charming next to a farm, sheep and lambs could be heard and plenty of birds and owls. Hosts were very proactive with directions which led us to head towards Bamburgh first and come down the single lane rather than the longer single lane route. Bamburgh was only 5 minutes away and the view driving down the road towards the castle is breathtaking. Even to get to sea houses was barely 15 minutes. Property had modern facilities particularly the bathroom and kitchen, very warm and welcoming didn't once feel cold, the actual size of the property was bigger than it seemed on the photos, definitely the pictures don't do it justice. We also had our own parking right in front of the property, separate from any other guest. Hosts were very responsive and kept giving us more information and checklists ready to check in and out, along with local recommendations. Overall I couldn't fault this property, would book again in future. Thank you!

We really enjoyed staying in Poppy Cottage. It was a good size and very comfortable. The bedroom was especially large. The little decking section at the back was an added bonus. We had some nice weather and were able to sit out and relax with a cuppa on our return from exploring each day. The towels smelt lovely and the dressing gowns were a nice touch. It’s probably best to have a car in order to stay here as it is a little remote - but that just added to the peace and relaxation. The cottages seem to be very well looked after and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if we find ourselves up this way. Thanks.

This place is really in the outback, sat nav sent us up a really narrow lane and there was a tree blocking our path, it was just after the storm. If you like places off the beaten track and peaceful this is the place for you. The cottage is good for parking and has got everything you need for your stay. Nice enjoyable stay

The accommodation itself was lovely, clean and tidy. The location is not ideal if you do not drive a car, you have to walk to Bamburgh in order to access public transport as it’s the closest town. We had to walk about 3 and a half miles to Bamburgh and same again back everyday. However your closest food shop is in seahouses which is a 10 minute bus ride from bamburgh. If you drive a car this is a perfect place to stay! It’s lovely, peaceful and quiet ☺️

The house is clean and the location is quite and serene. Unfortunately, there was no wifi throughout my stay and Stay could only offer 20% off future bookings with them as a compensation. That did not sound like a great idea. They mentioned to me that wifi, even though listed on the booking as one of the amenities available was not considered 'essential'. Thats also disappointing

A lovely stay with great communication from the host. Very clean apart from the toothbrush cup which hadn't been cleaned and a few things in the kitchen which we cleaned again. Lovely location, nice balcony and the cottage was bigger than expected! Didn't realise there was an upstairs too and the rooms are very big yet cosy. The bathroom is good and the shower is good too however I would advise taking your own shower gel and shampoo which luckily we did as otherwise there was just a small bit of both for two people for three nights which wouldn't have been enough. Overall it was a great stay which we really enjoyed. Maybe an extra teatowel in the kitchen would be good too as there was only one. Could put bird feeders on the balcony too maybe? Very easy to get to overall and close to Bamburgh and also close to Belford which has a good Co Op. Can get cold and a little damp in the cottage but the heating is good.

An incredibly peaceful location. Very quiet even with being immediately adjacent cottages. Access to a dishwasher would be useful.

We enjoyed the stay, it's very quiet here. We also enjoyed walking along the public right of way to the pub in Lucker, 1.5 miles away. The location is excellent for star watching because of the low level of light pollution. If you need to work online, you may find the wifi connection a bit slow. Easy access to Bamburgh and the coast. We would also recommend a visit to Chillingham to see the wild cattle and the castle.

Very well equipped with comfortable bed. Not as cosy as you might want if staying in winter. Bamburgh and the beaches about an hour's walk through the fields - with lovely views across gentle mixed farming land to the sea.

Poppy is a lovely cottage with an exceptionally nice, sunny, peaceful terrace - perfect for relaxing and a drink or two! Rooms are all pleasant and the location is great for exploring the coast and border hills. Just be aware the bathroom is downstairs

My wife & I enjoyed our holiday enormously. So much so that we were delighted to find we could extend our stay in Poppy Cottage. The location is perfect for so many attractions and we enjoyed many a walk. The property was in a small complex of stone buildings. The walls were sufficiently thick that we never heard a sound from any neighbours. A simple but perfect country retreat.

Poppy cottage is extremely cosy and sparkling clean. Even in February the surrounding area is breathtaking and coming back to a warm cottage helped us brave the cold Poppy Cottage is a lovely location from which to explore the borders and it's not too far to Edinburgh.
