We had a lovely stay and found it very clean and comfortable! We will definitely be staying again and would recommend! The hot tub was a perfect addition to the hut making the stay that extra bit luxurious! Although we had a power cut for 12 hours we were supplied with a torch and with the log burner we were toasty warm! Thank you for a lovely stay!

It was super cute and cosy and it is wonderfully presented. Poppies had everything we needed and we loved the added bonus of a hot tub. It was the perfect getaway surrounded by beautiful scenery, nice walks and peace and quiet. We liked that the huts are very private and spaced apart. Chris was super helpful and is full of recommendations on things to do and where to eat. Upon recommendation we went for a beautiful meal at the local pub âThe Rutland Armsâ and it did not disappoint. For things to do we took a short drive to Rutland Water which was close by and plenty to do there. If you are looking for a relaxing break then Poppies Hut is perfect! Would definitely visit again
