Poppy cottage is comfortable both inside and out. The owner was lovely . Loads of information on walks in the surrounding area. Perfect location for our visit to Abbotts Bromley, to visit the ancestors. Will definately book again when back that way.
Thank you Tracy and Darren for letting your beautiful Poppy Cottage. xxx
Lovely little cottage, well maintained with lots of little extras, (including the fresh free range eggs that were waiting for us when we arrived) lovely hosts and of course Poppy who came to see us the last morning of our stay, wouldn't hesitate to stay here again the next time we are visiting this area (or going to the races @ Uttoxeter)
A wonderful property which was already decorated for Christmas, my two little girls loved the cosines of it along with the sofa bed!
Seeing the animals wander by kept them captivated with the odd walk outside to talk to them all in amongst playing with their Christmas presents.
A wonderful get away in the great countryside!
Tracey was lovely and made a great fuss of our granddaughter, who loved all the animals.
The property was very compact but comfortable and had all you needed.
The games room was a definite bonus.
Myself and my two granddaughters ( aged 7 and 5 years) spent six nights at the property. We were welcomed so warmly and shown around the property. I was made to feel that if I had any questions, at any time, than I could ask them.
My granddaughters were very interested to see the sheep, chickens and fish. It was a perfectly safe environment for them due to the entrance gates. Also due to the layout of the property I knew if they needed me at night then I would beable to hear them.
The location of the property was so peaceful day and night. Also beautiful countryside views. There are many visitor attractions in the area so no need for a dull moment. I would highly recommend staying at this property. You will not be disappointed.
This is a lovely cosy cottage away from it all. Perfect if you want to escape into the countryside. Leave behind noise, breath fresh air, hear chickens and not the ping of e mail. The bed setee is ok but the bedding cannot tuck in so it disappears overnight. A sleeping bag would be better. The shower is superb and the hosts friendly and on site if needed. Perfect for a get away from it all break.
This is the second time we have stayed at Poppies Barn, this time for 4 nights. Tracy & Darren are perfect hosts, very friendly and keep the property in very good condition. We are left to ourselves and not bothered at all but know they are in the farmhouse on site if we need help with anything. We’re already booked to go back to Poppies Barn twice next year as it isn’t very convenient for when we take part at the Curborough Sprint Circuit. Chris & Maggie
We booked this cottage for our family trip to Alton towers. Tracey greeted us on our arrived was really pleasant considering we got stuck in traffic and arrived rather late. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect little cottage for our stay, and when my partner forgot his toothbrush and thought we were going to have to find a convenience store closeby, we actually looked under the sink to actually find a toiletry set which included a toothbrush! Will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Stoke, thank you so much!
Beautiful peaceful area, very comfortable accommodation in safe secure grounds. lots of places to visit nearby. Owner very helpful and friendly. Responded promptly to emails. Had a lovely holiday here with my two teenagers. Would definately stay again.
I recently stayed here with my 4 year old son,
There was lots of things to do very close by.
My son loved seeing poppy and look forward to seeing her every morning.
I couldn’t be happier with my stay and would strongly recommend.
We had a fantastic stay. The property was excellent and loads to do around the area. Our son loved Poppy the dog coming to visit everyday. Would love to come back again. Thanks for everything.
Small cottage with everything you need. Friendly owners and even more friendly dog and chickens. I kept finding things.... pack of cards, binoculars, colouring pencils...... we were lucky with the weather but theyve thought of things to keep you entertained (as uf the chickens weren't enough..... oh and their eggs). I would happily recommend staying here, we loved it.
It was a pleasure to stay with Tracey and Darran, albeit for just 2 nights, but we're already looking forward to a longer stay in August. Fresh free range eggs were a nice touch and the property had everything we needed.
Small but perfect fit for our little family of 3. We were welcomed by Tracy and a bowl full of fresh eggs from the chickens.
Our daughter loved the daily visits from poppy the dog, looking at the fish, seeing the newly hatched chick and playing in the games room. We loved it and will be planning another visit.
We were given good info how to find the farm. Darren was there to greet us and show us round. The property is small but has been well designed so you don't feel claustrophobic. There was a hiccup but I'm sure it will be sorted before the next guests arrive.
Wonderful stay at the property for my nan and her husband. They loved it. The place was clean and all facilities more than adequate for a 5 day stay over Christmas. The festive touches were wonderful and greatly appreciated. The accommodation is comfortable and warm. Tracey was very welcoming and so helpful and kind. There is a brilliant games room for the kids :) surroundings are wonderful any time of the year. Will 100% recommend and use again. Thank you.
nice quiet location, very comfortable accommodation and looking forward to a returning visit.
I Would highly recommend this accommodation
