About this cottage rental

Poppies is a 17th century stone cottage. It is situated in the grounds of the owner’s property in the conservation area of Hinton Blewett. The cottage enjoys views across open countryside and has been thoughtfully restored with the environment in mind. The heating and hot water are provided by an air source heat pump and solar thermal. It is an easy walk up to the village pub, which is highly rated by guests. The Chew Valley lake is a 10 minute drive, where you can enjoy bird-watching, walking and fishing. The Salt and Malt is an award-winning fish and chip restaurant overlooking the lake.
The accommodation offers two bedrooms: a main bedroom with superking-size bed which can be converted to twin beds on request and a smaller double bedroom. Bathroom: with a roll-top bath and overhead shower plus WC. Separate WC on the ground floor. Sitting room with flagstone floor (and rug), sofa and armchairs, feature fireplace and wood-burner and smart TV. The kitchen (with hand-built solid wood units) /diner has a flagstone floor, electric oven, fridge/freezer and microwave oven. There is a utility room with washing machine and electric airer. Outside there is a gravelled courtyard with a paved seating area in front of the cottage, flowerbeds and a bench in the corner which catches the afternoon sun. Amenities: parking for two cars in courtyard. In 2025 we had a pair of spotted flycatchers nesting in the alcove next to the front door of Poppies from June to mid July. Guests may be asked to make some adjustments to
enable these increasingly rare birds to breed successfully.

Judith was very friendly and welcoming. The home was very warm and cosy and nice to come back to after a crisp walk with the dogs.

Cozy, comfortable ecofriendly cottage in a country setting. Our host, Judith, was great...very helpful with ideas on activities. I appreciated the ecofriendly nature of the property with energy saving aspects like an air sourced heat pump and heated drying rack versus a machine.

We loved our time at Poppies, the cottage and surrounding area were enchanting. We were time poor but there was plenty for us to enjoy including Bath and Cotswolds and the cottage area. The village pub was awesome, everyone enjoying the chat! Thanks to Judith for sorting out my jacket that I left behind. Very appreciated. Thanks heaps!

The cottage’s restoration is beautiful. One of the days was chilly and blustery and there wasn’t a single draft. I never had to adjust the temperature.I found the king bed to be hard and lumpy and there were cobwebs throughout that could be dusted away. The shower has good pressure and hot water. The pub is a short walk away.

This is a wonderful cottage with everything we needed and a bed so comfortable that my wife wants one just the same. A great location for seeing the area and Judith was the most welcoming host. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area and recommended the cottage unreservedly.

Poppies is a very beautiful, cosy cottage and has everything you need for a holiday in a holiday home. Judith is very kind and made sure that we felt welcome and comfortable from the very first day. The cottage is in a quiet rural location and Hinton Blewett is a charming village. There are many great places of interest nearby, such as Cheddar Caves, Glastonbury with its impressive abbey ruins, beautiful Bath and Wells with its impressive cathedral.
