Reviews of Poppy Lodge
"Overall the cottage was very well equipped, clean, and modern."

"Superb accommodation in a beautiful setting. Friendly and helpful owners on hand if you need them but not at all intrusive. The location is ideal for sightseeing and we visited the Muchelnley Abbey, Montacute House, Sherbourne castle and gardens, Glastonbury Abbey and Stonehenge. Our dog was on holiday with us and we were able to take him to all of these places which allowed dogs access to the grounds so we all enjoyed our holiday. My husband enjoyed the Haynes Motor museum and the Fleet Air Museum which is a short journey away. Poppy Lodge was the perfect place to return to each day. It is clean, warm and very comfortable. For provisions there is a Sainsburys supermarket in nearby Sherborne or Morrisons and Lidl in Wincanton. If you don't want to bother to cook there is a very nice hotel a short walk from the lodge serving delicious food."

"Fantastic find. Excellent, clean accommodation with everything you could need. Comfortable first class furnishings. Loved the chickens and enjoyed seeing the 'girls' every day. Close to the lovely town of Sherborne, not far to Haynes Motor Museum and close to supermarkets etc. Weymouth about 1 hour away. Lovely Easter break and the owners even left us a chocolate chicken treat. "
