There is an attached video which best shows all aspects of the cottage Poppy’s Cottage is newly renovated throughout and provides a warm welcoming space to relax in. We are delighted our guests so far have been so lovely about their stays and glad to see some returning. The house does offer a unique, secluded setting to unwind as a family, with total privacy and only the sounds of nature, along with access to the most stunning gardens. You are welcome to explore an additional 12 acres of our gardens and grounds with some unique plants and stunning floral displays.
We know all the local farm shops, supplying meat, fish, vegetables, takeaway foods (even locally made Middle Eastern meals which are our favourite) local game pies and even seafood, all delivered to the door. Waitrose and Tescos, Sainsbury's all deliver here. This is a cottage to enjoy long walks, sun bathing if the weather allows, games, films, table tennis, wonderful meals, bird watching and even badger and deer spotting. If you are very energetic then there is a private gym in which to escape though I can't image why anyone would do this!!

About the host
Hosted by Nikki Chambers
I have been living in Devon since 1998. We fell in love with our house and embarked on a huge renovation program of both the main house and the cottage, both of which needed pretty much everything doing. Seeing the finished results has made it all worth while and we look forward to welcoming guests to the beautiful house and grounds
Why they chose this property
Close to the sea (pop on local train 10 mins drive away with free car park) and have one of the most scenic train journeys along the coast to the beach, or discover wild Dartmoor, historic Exeter, the North Coast The Tarka Trail or simply stay put in beautiful surroundings doing little more than enjoying the peace and gardens...Poppy’s Cottage is a wonderful central location to see and do so much
What makes this property unique
Poppy’s Cottage is set in amazing grounds and one of the most amazing gardens in the country. Its is totally removed from the noise of cars and surrounded by woods, gardens and wildlife. However Exeter is under 15 mins away and therefore great for eating out or going slightly further afield to the sea (catch the local train) or Dartmoor
