Poppy Cottage has been offered as a holiday let since 2016 and proven to be booked up without fail since, minus two recent years that were disrupted. The owners have not taken any bookings since December 2021 and currently have closed the calendar ahead, allowing you to take on the property with vacant possession if you wish.

Should you wish to carry on with holiday letting, the cottage could be available as a turn key (with all furniture and contents) by separate negotiation and be ready to go soon as you complete!

There are a number of excellent local agencies who can assist with how best to present your property to the holiday let market and who can also provide a fully managed service including cleaning and laundry if you do not live locally. Please speak to the team at Big Skies for more details.
