Overview
Recently renovated to an exceptional standard, the property which has been professionally styled, flows effortlessly between its two floors, offering guests light and airy downstairs living, and spacious bedrooms above. Combining old-world glamour with up-to-date chic, an original staircase, sash windows and ornate fireplaces juxtapose contemporary furnishings and tasteful accessories, all basking in the floods of natural daylight that stream in from virtually every angle.
The ground floor kitchen and open plan dining room have a touch of French farmhouse. The centre-piece Aga cooker invites guests to roast or bake to their hearts’ content.There are doors leading outside to the secluded courtyard garden, where family meals can be shared and enjoyed. To the opposite side of the hallway the sitting room has two separate seating areas with a large comfortable corner sofa at the far end and a snug with gas fire and desk area at the other. There is also a ground floor cloakroom and utility area housing a washing machine and separate tumble dryer.
The property’s three bedrooms comfortably accommodate six and offer versatile sleeping configurations, so families and groups of friends are able to request an arrangement that suits. The Master bedroom with super king bed enjoys a sea glimpse and has an en-suite shower room, with the remaining two bedrooms sharing a family bathroom with bathtub and shower.
Poplar Cottage has a sunny west-facing walled courtyard garden which is a wonderful place for savouring an afternoon drink or two, and an outdoor dining suite along with charcoal BBQ means alfresco feasts can be enjoyed. Private off-street parking for one car can be found to the back of the cottage which is situated on Fore Street Hill just metres from both the high street and the beach.
Interestingly, the cottage is the former home of Robert Warington; the founder of the Chemical Society in the late 19th Century (which later become the Royal Society of Chemistry). A plaque recently awarded to the cottage bears his name and credentials.

A wonderful return to Poplar Cottage and Budleigh. We wish we could have stayed longer. The aesthetic value is the best and it is easy to relax here.

Great location 5 minutes from the beach. The beds are comfy which is such a big plus. This was our second visit we found the aga difficult to cook for 5 people it was okay to door a stir fry but difficult to use the oven and do a roast. The look of the place overall is charming. Parking the car was difficult too but my son was good at it

Our second stay at Poplar Cottage, and as before we enjoyed the well decorated and equipped house. The location is quiet and close the centre of the village and a couple of minutes walk to the (stony) beach. It has an Aga, which we are used to, but it tends to make the kitchen quite hot compared to the rest of the house - open windows required at times to provide air circulation. Budleigh is a nice village with plenty of food shops nearby
