Guests appreciate the warmth provided by underfloor heating and a wood burner, and the property's central position for exploring the island. While most reviews are positive, a few mention cleanliness and maintenance issues.
Most guests found Poppies Cottage to be clean and comfortable. However, there were some concerns raised about specific cleanliness issues such as the state of the fridge, oven, and bathroom blinds. These appear to be isolated incidents rather than a general trend.

Guests report that the cottage is very comfortable, with special mentions of the underfloor heating, cosy wood burner, and super comfy bed. The spaciousness and warmth of the cottage add to the overall comfort experienced by visitors.
The facilities, including a sauna, steam shower, and jacuzzi bath, are frequently highlighted as highlights of the stay. However, some guests noted that certain appliances and furnishings could benefit from updating or replacement, and there were occasional issues with hot water and heating in some facilities.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

It is cosy and spacious. Very good shower and sauna a bonus. However, the cleanliness and general state of the cottage let it down. Very unclean ovens, dishwasher fascia hanging off, rusting and cracking on fridge freezer, pedal bin in bathroom rusting and filthy, mismatched and chipped crockery, mismatched cutlery in a very unclean cutlery tray, discoloured bath mat to mention but a few. Bedding and towels, however, spotless. It is a real shame because when new, this cottage would have been perfect. The furniture is also more shabby than chic and the whole place would benefit from a deep clean and makeover.

The view is just stunning and great to watch the sun rise and spot birds and animals from. It was home from home, clean, comfortable, quiet and peaceful. Well facilitated and maintained. We will book here again. 100% ideal.
