Poppy Lodge, Charlton Horethorne

Poppy Lodge is an ideal holiday venue, within easy reach of local attractions in both Somerset and Dorset. It is located in a most delightful and peaceful village, set amongst picturesque countryside and very near the local shop and a lovely pub restaurant. The lodge is situated in a quiet location with a view across open fields to the rear of the building. The owners live close by and are very helpful and friendly. The accommodation is very well laid out, extremely comfortable, very well-equipped and there is heating available if necessary. We also appreciated the significant effort that had been made to maintain the poppy theme throughout the lodge. The addition of a hand towel and egg poacher in the kitchen would have been useful and a dishwasher instead of a washing machine would be more convenient. Nevertheless it is by far the best self-catering accommodation that we have ever stayed in and is highly recommended.

Overall the cottage was very well equipped, clean, and modern.

Superb accommodation in a beautiful setting. Friendly and helpful owners on hand if you need them but not at all intrusive. The location is ideal for sightseeing and we visited the Muchelnley Abbey, Montacute House, Sherbourne castle and gardens, Glastonbury Abbey and Stonehenge. Our dog was on holiday with us and we were able to take him to all of these places which allowed dogs access to the grounds so we all enjoyed our holiday. My husband enjoyed the Haynes Motor museum and the Fleet Air Museum which is a short journey away. Poppy Lodge was the perfect place to return to each day. It is clean, warm and very comfortable. For provisions there is a Sainsburys supermarket in nearby Sherborne or Morrisons and Lidl in Wincanton. If you don't want to bother to cook there is a very nice hotel a short walk from the lodge serving delicious food.

This is a lovely property in an ideal location for touring with lots of pet friendly places to visit in the area. I would highly recommend although you do need to book early. This property is popular and after spending a week here I can understand why.

Fantastic find. Excellent, clean accommodation with everything you could need. Comfortable first class furnishings. Loved the chickens and enjoyed seeing the 'girls' every day. Close to the lovely town of Sherborne, not far to Haynes Motor Museum and close to supermarkets etc. Weymouth about 1 hour away. Lovely Easter break and the owners even left us a chocolate chicken treat.

We had a very relaxing time at Poppy Lodge. The lodge was lovely and clean and like new. We will definitely go back again next year.

A lovely central place for sightseeing. A nice quiet cottage. The cottage was lovely and clean and plenty of crockery and cutlery in the kitchen.

Fantastic accommodation. Perfect in every way. Relaxing environment and yet so handy for tourist attractions in Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire. We visited Minehead on the north coast and Poole and Weymouth on the south. The lodge has every convenience for a superb holiday and the quality and cleanliness is second to none. We are going back for another holiday next year.

Fantastic accommodation, a home from home. Everything was perfect. Would have no hesitation in recommending this holiday property to anyone. Like many others in the Visitors Book, we are going back again next year.

A lovely clean, spacious and peaceful holiday home with everything we could need during our stay. The owners were friendly and helpful. Easy access to explore the beautiful Somerset and Dorset. Our best holiday accommodation yet!

A very warm welcome including milk, eggs, squash, tea and coffee all put out for us when we arrived. The owners of the property were very nice and were always on site if any help or information was needed. We are hoping to go back again next year.

There are no negatives for this home. Lovely decorated, it got everthing you need for a nice family stay, lots of privacy, centraly located, warm, quiet, very friendly owners. Just great for a short or long stay. We recommend this home for any family looking for a nice vacation in a central location to visited the landmarks and cities in SouthWest England.

A great place to stay, the accomodation had everything needed and the location was great for travelling around dorset and sommerset. With a very nice pub and little shop practically next door what more could you need.

Wonderful accommodation in a peaceful village. Ideal for touring Somerset and the South West.

Poppy Lodge was a fantastic place to stay and we had a fantastic new years eve dinner party there.

Very nice holiday home set in a really lovely village owners very helpful. We would recommend to our friends and hope to go back in the future. Lots to do and see in the area. The property is nice and warm and well furnished. We go on a lot of cottage holidays and this chalet is one of the best.

I liked the decor, the area was really beautiful with plenty of hills for running up. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The landlords that we spoke to and encountered were very nice people. I will be back in the future.

The lodge was well-equipped and in a good location - lovely friendly little village with good access to loads of interesting places.
