Charming Holiday Cottage in
Alford Aberdeenshire
About Poppy Cottage
Poppy Cottage is a charming holiday cottage for let, located in a quiet rural area close to local amenities in Alford.
We offer a tranquil and convenient retreat for up to 2 guests.
As you walk into the cottage you are welcomed with the modern, bright and spacious open plan downstairs living area.
With a utility area, bathroom (with large bath), kitchen/dining area and lounge on the lower floor there is plenty of space to relax.
Outside there is a courtyard area to the front and rear, perfect for those romantic summer dinners over a bottle of wine.
The owners live close by so are on hand for any queries but are happy to leave guests to enjoy themselves.
