Poppy
Poppy is a great property but it needs a complete deep clean - pulled pans out of cupboards that were filthy, the plates are am over used grey colour, under the sink was dirty, I wiped something off the floor and my rag came up filthy brown, the cleaners forgot to leave washing up cloths and enough washing up liquid. A great property that is reflecting a little neglect. But with a little care she can sparkle again.

Everything was perfect. Would stay again…. But the Lounge chairs
This property is perfect on every level. The only issue is the very very low lounge chairs and sofa’s in both rooms.. we could not use them as we are in our golden years and required assistance alighting from them….a scene from funniest home videos…… as a result we did enjoy Time sitting around the table playing cards… Hoping to return next year same time and for a bit longer. Ambience plus plus plus

Lovely spot for a cute cottage
We enjoyed our stay at Poppy Cottage. Great spot with a short walk to Exeter General Store and the oval which had tennis courts and football goals. The cottage was cute with good heating and the queen bed was defiantly comfortable (I didn’t try the others). There weren’t really any supplies (cooking oil, pepper, washing powder, matches to light the fire, paper for the fire and paper towel) which would have been good to know beforehand. The outside fire was lively but you need to be able to chop wood!

Fantastic weekend stay
We booked Poppy Cottage as my daughter was married at Eling Forest Winery ( outstanding wedding venue). The property was spotless, it was larger than I expected. It was decorated in an eclectic fashion, very stylish and lots of interesting pieces. The art work was beautiful. The natural lighting and large windows out to the beautiful gardens was a pretty back drop for the bride and bridesmaids to have hair and makeup done. The location of the Cottage was perfect, we had dinner at Bundanoon Hotel - (10 mins away ) we had breakfast and coffee at the little cafe 100metres away from Poppy's - great coffee and food. Long driveway, able to get our cars off the road. Thank you for a great stay

Excellent base for Exeter and nearby villages
This cottage is an excellent base if you are spending some time in the Southern Highlands. Exeter is a delightful small village and the cottage is a 1 minute walk to the very good village cafe. Exeter is a very short drive away from Bundanoon, Moss Vale etc. The cottage is very clean with great living spaces (including a TV area separate from the lounge area) and a lovely back yard (which our dog was very happy about). We didn’t really use the kitchen but it looked well set up if you wanted to cook meals. Like most places in Exeter and Bundanoon you hear a few trains in the night.

Lovely area to enjoy taking day trips by car.
The cottage was very nice except a few things spoilt our stay. I don't think the cottage is catered for seniors who have bad backs. We found the lounge chairs very uncomfortable and so low it was nearly impossible to get up off them. Was hoping for a restful few days out of the 10 days we stayed but decided it best to go out every day while there. The beds were very hard and hated going to bed except for my sister who had the queen bed (which was softer). The kitchen was spacious, great big fridge but we found some things needed fixing. The tap in the sink is loose and someone had put a bowl under the sink to catch the drips. Also the tap in the bathroom sink needs fixing also. The shower was great and all the heaters in the cottage was needed as it was very cold while there. We loved the garden with all the beautiful flowering trees, just wish the back lawn had been mowed. Sorry for all the negatives but we were so looking forward to a comfortable holiday which we didn't get. We also did not realise that we would not get mobile coverage while in Exeter. Down the road in Bundanoon or Moss Vale you could but Exeter is in a black spot. Would we stay there again, probably not.
