Poppy Cottage is a grade 2 listed Circa 1704 cottage just 20 yards below the 199 steps leading to The Abbey.
As a listed building, we have had to retain many existing features including narrow stairs to rooms 3 and 4. Access to room 4 is not suitable for those with mobility issues and has open access to the top of the stairs.
Situated on the old cobbled area of Church Street near to the 199 Steps and 50 yards from the beach. Artisan shops and restaurants nearby
