Fabulous time in Herbie's hut . Hot tub was brilliant , relaxing time was had , our host Chris was great and let us know what was on and where to go , the area was kept tidy and quiet , would defo recomend to family and friends for a stay at the huts Brilliant time had

Absolutely lovely little hut, very clean and had everything you needed. The hut was so cute and beautiful decor to finish it off. The hot tub and outside area was great. Defo stay again and defo recommend for a quiet weekend away.

We recently spent 4 nights in poppies hut! We had a lovely stay and found it very clean and comfortable! We will definitely be staying again and would recommend! The hot tub was a perfect addition to the hut making the stay that extra bit luxurious! Although we had a power cut for 12 hours we were supplied with a torch and with the log burner we were toasty warm! Thank you for a lovely stay!

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

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 !

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.

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

Lovely stay at Poppies Hut. Chris was lovely telling us places to visit. The only thing was there wasn't any WIFI but was lovely not to be connected for the weekend.

Lovely place . Great location . Owners were friendly and helpful with anything extra that we needed .Great walks to the local villages .hot tub was amazing. As was poppies hut .would recommend to anyone .

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 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.
