About this property
This stunning, thatched holiday home, Poppy Cottage, sits on the outskirts of Cadeleigh, Devon. Encircled by gorgeous views of rural Devon and offering accommodation that boasts character, this dwelling is perfect for a family of four's countryside getaway. After arriving at the quaint abode, park in one of two off-road spaces before heading inside. The kitchen/diner enjoys a farmhouse style and offers you all the essentials to fix up nourishing meals with, including a microwave and electric cooker; these meals can be savoured at the charming dining table. Continue down the corridor to the sitting room, a quirky space featuring pops of colour, along with table football and a wall-mounted TV for entertainment; switch on the electric fire for some added warmth! When night falls, climb the stairs to find a fabulous bedroom with a king-size bed with a rustic, exposed beam adorning the ceiling, or stay downstairs and rest in the well-presented twin. Further along from the twin is the bathroom, where you can soak the evening away in the bath with shower over. To the front of the property there is an attractive, private garden, where you can catch the sun's rays on the patio whilst you tuck into an alfresco treat. Take a break from doing the cooking and treat your loved ones to an indulgent meal at The Cadeleigh Arms, where you'll be spoilt for choice with fresh, locally sourced produce acquired from across the South West, perfect for fueling a day of excursions. A short distance from the property lies the village of Cheriton Fitzpaine, home to your amenities, including two friendly pubs and a community shop. Tiverton also isn't far and hosts a good selection of attractions, from the marvellous Tiverton Castle and the Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life, to the unique experience of the Tiverton Canal Co and the impressive Grand Western Canal Country Park. Immerse yourself in history with a tour of Cadbury Castle, once occupied by the Durotriges tribe and thought to be the stronghold of King Arthur during the 6th century, or head to one of Devon's oldest family homes, Fursdon House, where you can lose yourself amongst the vibrant flowers, shrubbery and woodland before ending the day in style with a spot of traditional Devonshire afternoon tea. The glorious landscaped gardens of Killerton House make a truly lovely setting to enjoy a leisurely stroll, with over 6000 acres to be explored, whilst the Gothic Revival architecture of Knightshayes Court is well worth a visit; marvel at the period interior or get your steps in with a wander through the trees of this remarkable National Trust property. Further afield, you can find the lively city of Exeter, a place that not only boasts magnificent historic landmarks, including the Exeter Cathedral and the Royal Albert Museum, but offers a good range of activities, from climbing in Clip n Climb Exeter, hiking through the Barley Valley nature reserve and enjoying the exhilarating rides at the nearby Crealy Theme Park. If you're looking for more things to do in the area, Crediton and Cullompton aren't far and make lovely outings, whilst Exmoor National Park and the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offer an array of outdoor activities. To experience the best of both the coast and county, Exmouth Beach is within touring distance, decorated in glorious golden sand perfect for spending lazy afternoon lounging with a good book in hand or feeling the fresh waters between your toes as you paddle the shores. For a stay with your loved ones that you'll look back on in the years to come, choose Poppy Cottage.
Cadeleigh is a charming little village nestled in Devon's rolling countryside, between Bickleigh and Cadbury. Cadeleigh, with its St Bartholomew the Apostle church and elegant gastropub serving fresh, locally sourced produce, is the ideal place to escape reality. Nearby Tiverton has a golf club, a castle, and a fascinating museum, and is close to the Iron Age hillfort of Cadbury Castle, the former home of the Durotriges tribe whom the county of Dorset derives its name.

We spent there wonderful time. Fully equipped kitchen allows you to spend nice time while cooking. You can find everything you need and much more in the house. There are board games, jigsaw puzzles and books. And of course indoor football :) The house is super clean and the owners are really lovely and very helpful hosts. And the views are amazing!

The fact that it rained every day and I had a raging tooth ache did not detract from the loveliness of this place. Upon arrival we felt straight at home, the peace, quiet and beautiful surroundings give me a buzz every time. Our puppy loves the enclosed garden and large kitchen, especially the little sofa that we cover with our own throws so he can relax whilst we are cooking and eating. The cottage is spacious, spotlessly clean, and so comfortable. We can really unwind here whilst enjoying Kerstin's homemade cake, which awaits your arrival along with a jug of fresh milk and tea/coffee/sugar so you can start enjoying your hols immediately. The hosts are a lovely couple and are at hand if you need them for anything. We will be back again next year for a 3rd visit. The cottage is well positioned for shops, walks, countryside, and coast. It's an amazing place, and we love it!

The owners who live next door (but you hardly ever see them) are so welcoming and friendly and also full of ideas of things to do and made some good suggestions. There was a lovely welcome pack waiting for us including a freshly baked homemade cake which was scrumptious!!! Just everything about the cottage / stay was great. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you would need, sofas were super comfy as were the beds. TV with freeview and Netflix etc, plenty of books, jigsaws, table football etc all provided too. Bathroom was fine with super water pressure which was really nice, good towels provided too. The outdoor space is kept lovely with outdoor seating areas, lots of birds to watch (we saw the woodpecker!), even a hot air balloon came overhead too. The garden is fully enclosed which suited our pooch which reminds me there are dog things too - blankets, bowls, bags, feedmat etc. You really couldn't want for anything and we highly recommend it, we'll definitely stay again one day 10/10 Places we visited (DF is dog friendly): Bickleigh Mill 2 miles away for great food and shop (daytime only) (DF) Fursdon house/ gardens 5 mins away â super cream teas (DF) Knighshayes house and gardens (some parts dog friendly) Crediton town 6 miles Minehead via West Somerset Steam railway (DF) Dunster - lovely old village, shops, castle, railway, beach Instow (good beach for dogs), Fremington (old railway walk, cafe) and Bideford Tiverton including the Grand Western Canal (lovely walks, cafes, canal boat trips) Dartmoor via steam train and then steam paddlesteamer (shopping, eating, steam buffs) (DF) Tarr Steps good for walks, river, pub, picnic (DF) Dawlish â beach, town Seaton and Beer - Seaton old tramway is a must!
