Poppy's CottageB&B is only 10 minutes from the heart of historic Armidale. Enjoy cosy and warm accommodation in the "Settlers' Cottage" adjoining the turn of the century homestead. The Cottage is set in about 2 acres of established, leafy, English style garden, interspersed with old-fashioned perennials and roses. The cottage with its two bedrooms, (although not large), is well equipped with a selection of books, magazines and activities, and there are heaters in every room with good insulation and electric blankets on all the beds. Fans are provided for the warmer weather. Guests have the option of a delicious three course dinner by candlelight, with complimentary bottle of wine.

Wonderful breakfasts include a large selection of fresh and poached fruits, freshly squeezed orange juice as well as a full cooked breakfast. This may be served in the garden under the canopy of the fruit trees, with the music of birdcall. Poppy's is the ideal base to experience Armidale's culture, tourist attractions with adjacent vineyard. Further along the road, visit world class National Park and spectacular waterfalls. Your hosts look forward to making you welcome.

Locality

Armidale with its unique blend of culture, state of the art technology, educational diversity and natural beauty is a city offering everything worth living for. Situated in the country half way between Sydney and Brisbane and only two hours from the coast, it enjoys a warm summer, tones of amber during the autumn, a crisp winter and an exhilarating spring.

Resting high on the Northern Tablelands, it its the most cosmopolitan NSW city outside Sydney catering for harmonious living for 22,000 citizens from 53 different nationalities.

Armidale’s educational facilities have attracted students, academics and their families from all over the world adding a multicultural dimension to the city and events hosted by different ethnic groups add vitality, spice and colour, making life in Armidale an enriching experience.

Less than two hours drive from Armidale along sealed roads is the spectacular gorge country of the New England National Park. Included in the World Heritage List, it offers views of magnificent unspoilt wilderness as far as the eye can see. Only 15 minutes drive from Poppy’s Cottage, guests may stroll along the easy walks and enjoy the breathtaking panoramas of the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park and Dangars Gorge. They may view spectacular lookouts as well as exploring more testing treks.

In the adjacent lane kangaroos may be seen grazing each morning. For the energetic, guests may climb the extinct volcano situated on the property, and stimulate a good appetite for their hearty Poppy’s Cottage breakfast. Here they can settle back under the fruit trees in an enchanting garden and enjoy the delicious meal served to them at their leisure.
