This is nothing to do with the Poppy House as their cafe isn't open in the evening, but it's worth noting that the pubs (and the Castle Hotel restaurant) in Bishops Castle can get busy - we tried all the pubs and they were fully booked, so we ended up driving to a place 7-8 miles away. If you know you're going to want to eat locally it's worth pre-booking!

Great place to stay, lovely breakfast in the cafe the following morning, not a lot of interaction with staff as entry is arrival/entry is all automated and was all seamless, but when we did bump into any staff they were great. The room was lovely, looking out over the street and an antiques shop, access was fine (there's no parking and we couldn't park on the street outside but there's free parking throughout and a car park 5 mins walk down the road that we parked in) - a great find and a great stop off for us on our way through, wished we'd been able to stay longer.

Nothing to be honest.

Directions on entry were spot on! Very comfortable room. Duvet to die for. Complimentary water, real milk for tea and coffee. Bishops Castle is home to my favourite beer in the World. Shower was excellent

Nothing, all very good!

Perfect easy location (a stone's throw from the marvellous Poetry Pharmacy!), very cosy room and surprisingly quiet (the storm winds were louder than the town hall clock!). Really comfy bed. Nice touch to find a bottle of fresh milk in a little fridge in the room; with kettle & teabags so you can make yourself a cuppa. Breakfast was extra, but very reasonable and most delicious - with excellent coffee. Host sent information for entrance keypad, all really smooth and easy. All round a very lovely place to stay.

I couldn't work out how to get the shower to stay hot for longer than 3 minutes, And the floor was covered in sharp little stones so perhaps previous guests had not taken their shoes off in the hallway as requested and the floor wasn't hoovered after them.

I can't answer most of those questions - it's like having to sit an exam. It's a beautiful apartment and it was thoughtful to supply me with some oat milk.

Great to have a bath and fresh milk in the fridge. Appreciated the change of bedding to suit out needs.

Going down the few stairs for somebody with bad knees to get to the toilet could be a bit of an issue, but for most people I don't think this would be any problem whatsoever.

It was extremely conveniently located at the top of the hill and very near the three tuns pub. It has a charming appeal on the inside of the property.

Only one small issue with the pillows, they were a little hard, I found it difficult to get comfortable. It’s the second time we have stayed and didn’t have this issue the first time we visited.

We like the homeliness and coziness. The staff are really friendly and the breakfast is lovely

Staircase was steep and could be a problem for less able people

Lovely old building with original beams. Comfortable bed with crisp white bed linen in a lovely room and spacious en suite bathroom. Breakfast was great and kept us going til late afternoon!
