Reviews
We have not long returned from AppleTree Cottage and what a fantastic place it is. the cottage is very modern with everything you could possibly need. The bed is extremely comfortable, and the hot tub after a long day walking is just what you need. The view is stunning and you can’t help but keep looking out if the window. The fresh eggs and shower gel etc and are lovely touch. Richard and Amy are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Morrisons deliver to the door which was a great help as I was in my little fiat 500. This place is a must to stay. Thank you so much for making our stay amazing Steph Mick and Eric
Just spent a 2 night new year break at Apple tree cottage for new year. What an absolute gem. Accomodation is furnished to a very high standard.the outdoor space was perfect and secure for our 2 dogs, one of whom is blind. They loved having free reign and being able to roam freely between house and outdoors. The beds were really comfortable and the bathrooms were lovely. A really nice touch that slippers and robes were provided, as well as shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand and body lotion and hand wash. The hot tub was very much appreciated after a 9 mile round trip on foot to the nearest pub. The distance to the nearest pub is the only negative I can honestly find, however it was a glorious sunny day and we survived !!! The log burner was so cosy and my dogs loved it too. Fresh eggs and milk was a very nice little touch, which was greatly appreciated. All in all an exceptional place,we cannot wait to return !!!
