My friend and I had the most lovely time staying at Poppies Hut. 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 The Rutland Arms 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
My boyfriend and I had the best weekend here. The cabin was so cosy and clean and the hot tub was amazing. Chris was great and helped us sort the hot tub when we struggled to light it!! Would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Very pretty and quiet area but with pubs and eateries nearby!
Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed are weekend there , was a beautiful place and location, had everything we needed for our peaceful weekend and Chris who owns it is really nice and helpful ! Will be staying again next year ! Highly recommend for all !
Wow, just fantastic, I was hopping it would be as nice as the photos, and we were not disappointed, what a lovely out of the way place, the hot had every think and it was just perfect, the fact there was no WiFi, well at first it was no, but then because there wasn't any, I put my phone away and relaxed, the views, the quiet, the hot tub, just fantastic, sitting out and enjoying the night sky, some think I've not done in such a long time, we will be going back, and it's a lovely and perfect get away. .I hope you enjoy your time there as we have..
I booked this place relatively last minute but the information given in regards to Poppies Hut was accurate. The hut is very comfortable and clean. There is storage space under the bed so you can put your bags away during your stay. There are 3 other huts located around the field but it still feels very private and perfect for a couples get away. The hot tub was lovely and we definitely enjoyed it! I would advise that it does take a while to warm up but once its at the right temperature, it will stay warm for a good while. We did have to contact the owners to ask for more logs and kindling but they were very nice on the phone. There is no WiFi and there is little signal in terms of phones but this does allow you to switch off from it all for a while. Would definitely stay again and would definitely recommend!!
We had a lovely stay at poppies hut. Perfect getaway for couples. The hut is quite private and in a great location with lots nearby. Facilities were perfect and also had parking which is great! Would recommend staying here.

It is very cozy and peaceful here, I would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get away for some time together or to relax. We were lucky enough to meet Chris, who was very welcoming, friendly and helpful! Thank you so much
Fantastic location , the hut and tub were very clean and tidy with nothing missing. Chris the host is a great guy and very accommodating, as were his little helpers Would recommend to anyone fancying a quiet couple of days and we will be back
Such a beautiful stay with stunning surroundings. I would definitely recommend and we would 100 stay again! The owners were brilliant so friendly and welcoming, they were there if we needed them for anything. Overall fantastic stay and will be back

Me and my partner stayed in poppies lodge and it was a fantastic experience. Upon arrival we received a book of places to eat and things to do that were near by, Chris the owner was welcoming and very helpful. Cleanliness was 1010, beds very comfortable and we loved the scenery, log fires and hot tub! Will definitely visit again! Couldnt fault anything
We absolutely loved our stay at poppies hut. The hosts were fantastic, we loved the hut and the views from the doorstep. Was truly magical. We will definitely be back
Wow, what can I say. Our whole experience here was absolutely magical from start to finish. The owner Chris was away when we first arrived but still provided a first class service at the other end of the phone whenever we needed him. He was so kind and personable and made sure he personally introduced himself to us when he arrived back. The hut itself was stunning, all the facilities we needed and more including twinkling star lights above the bed which made such a cosy and romantic atmosphere. Everything was thoroughly clean and their cleaner does an absolutely fantastic job, and always goes the extra mile to check if theres anything she can do for you. The hot tub was wonderful, and the views you could absorb while relaxing were second to none. We spent many nights sat outside in front of our hut toasting marshmallows and overlooking the lake and listening to the sounds of nature. If youre thinking about booking, dont hesitate and just do. As a couple weve been on many holidays together including abroad and this is by far the best of them all, the memories weve made and the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere was everything we needed. We will be back in no time!!!

Me and my partner came to stay in poppies Shepard huts. We had such a lovely long weekend! The hut and surrounding area was absolutely beautiful, it was such a peaceful getaway. It was lovely having the lake right in front with the ducks and picnic table. Would be even better in the summer! The hut itself was very cosy, comfortable and clean with special touches such as the star lights on the ceiling above the bed, and the privacy of our own hot tub tucked away. We loved going on an alpaca trek, and visiting belvoir castle. There were also plenty of good recommendations for attractions and restaurantspubs in the booklet provided in the hut which was really helpful. Despite being away himself Chris was very responsive with any questions we had and really accommodating and was happy for us to message or call him if we needed anything which was really appreciated.
Me and my partner loved spending the week in poppies hut and have spoken about coming back with some friends. The hut and the surrounding area was so beautiful and there was a lot of things for us to do. The owner Chris greeted us and all throughout our stay he was always there to help if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend this.
