The space
Poppy’s Cottage is a detached property set in the grounds of a large country house. Located down it’s own private lane and tucked away, this is a quiet, beautiful, hidden away escape, yet is within 15 mins drive of the centre of Exeter.

The well equipped cottage provides amongst its many comforts: underfloor heating, a woodburner, Egyptian cotton bed linen, Range cooker, fast WiFi, two smart TV’s (one in the twin room) for streaming Netflix etc. and access to wonderful walks from the front door. You will be welcome to enjoy some of the main house’s incredible gardens which in turn access public footpaths which lead into seven square miles of forests.

There is a fully enclosed private garden for your young children or four legged friend, along with a covered barn with table tennis and BBQ and outdoor tables and sun loungers. There is also a private gym if fitness is your thing.

Accommodation includes three bedrooms, Master Bedroom with en suite, Large King room and twin room. There is also a substantial marble tiled family bathroom upstairs with double ended bath and separate luxury power shower.

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, Sainsbury's and Tescos all deliver here and the nearest supermarket is about 7 mins drive away. 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 have a lot of energy then do use the gym!


Poppy’s Farmhouse is set in the large formal gardens and woodland of a beautiful country house. These grounds are considered to be amongst the finest in the county. Guests have their own parking and will be able to enjoy areas of the gardens which will be detailed within the information provided on arrival. A potentially truly magical and unique stay awaits.

Neighbourhood highlights

Very close to Exeter, Dartmoor and the coast. We are full of Devon ideas and the cottage will have walking books, maps and suggestions. Or best of all walk from the door, read, light fires, watch films and relax!
If you don't like relaxing there is a private gym for the cottage and a table tennis barn.
Newton St Cyres has a famous pub, the beer engine and 5 mins drive away is a Hanlons which make the best burgers you have ever eaten and that is no exaggeration. Our local train line has just re opened so a stress free day is to park the car in Crediton (free) and travel towards the sea (Exmouth beach) or the moor. Cheap and fun way to get around, Exmouth has our favourite fish and chip shop.

Lives in England, United Kingdom
I have been a super host on Air B&B for several years. I recently moved house and renovated Poppy’s Cottage in 2019 with my husband. We hope we have created a home that does not feel like a holiday home but more of a home from home.
