In peaceful rural location within walking distance of lovely pub, near Bath.

Poppies is a 17th century stone cottage. It is situated in the grounds of the owner’s property in the conservation area of Hinton Blewett. The cottage enjoys views across open countryside and has been thoughtfully restored with the environment in mind. The heating and hot water are provided by an air source heat pump and solar thermal. It is an easy walk up to the village pub, which is highly rated by guests. The Chew Valley lake is a 10 minute drive, where you can enjoy bird-watching, walking and fishing. The Salt and Malt is an award-winning fish and chip restaurant overlooking the lake.
The accommodation offers two bedrooms: a main bedroom with superking-size bed which can be converted to twin beds on request and a smaller double bedroom. Bathroom: with a roll-top bath and overhead shower plus WC. Separate WC on the ground floor. Sitting room with flagstone floor (and rug), sofa and armchairs, feature fireplace and wood-burner and smart TV. The kitchen (with hand-built solid wood units) /diner has a flagstone floor, electric oven, fridge/freezer and microwave oven. There is a utility room with washing machine and electric airer. Outside there is a gravelled courtyard with a paved seating area in front of the cottage, flowerbeds and a bench in the corner which catches the afternoon sun. Amenities: parking for two cars in courtyard. In 2025 we had a pair of spotted flycatchers nesting in the alcove next to the front door of Poppies from June to mid July. Guests may be asked to make some adjustments to
enable these increasingly rare birds to breed successfully.
