Had a very warm welcome from Roger, the owner, who showed us around Poppy's Footprints, showed us the booklet for Eateries, etc., and was most accommodating in this and very kindly helped us with our luggage into the cottage. There was a bottle of wine in the fridge which was a very kindly gesture. The cottage had everything we needed to cook meals in the evenings. Nothing was lacking. We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay and do hope to return to Poppy's Footprint at some point in the future. The weather was kind enough for us to get out and about during the week of Christmas 2019. Even had Christmas cake and a mince pie, with coffees, in the Dante Arms in Middleham. We visited the Richard III Pub and though we didn't eat there, the meals that came out were very tempting indeed and of good proportions, from what we saw. All in all, we would highly recommend Poppy's Footprints to all who are looking for a cottage in Middleham.
