The place
Tucked away in the Exeter countryside, Poppy’s Cottage is on the larger Sherwood Gardens estate, 15 acres containing flower gardens and surrounded by woodland. The cottage is down its own private lane and makes for the perfect hideaway to explore Exeter, with the city being only a 15-minute drive away. It sleeps six, and whether you’re corralling kids or just a group of friends, there’s plenty to do nearby and even more on site. Have ping pong duals in the barn, take turns cooking in the well-equipped kitchen or keep your fitness at its peak with the private gym. If you’re needing more R&R than adventure, take it easy on the many walks from the door with your four-legged friend, and end the day in the bath, or take the role of grill-master on the BBQ and spend a sunny afternoon doling out smoky snacks.
