Appletree Cottage

Pros: nicely decorated and comfortable accommodation, good WiFi and easy to use kitchen goods Great location for visiting lots of national trust/English heritage places Comfy beds Cons: needs a thorough clean, lots of dusty corners Noisy neighbours, bring earplugs!

There is a garden gate (not pictured) that is wrought iron and can therefore see through to next doors Yard with chickens and dogs, thankfully our dog is not bothered but reactive dogs would find this stressful i imagine Table and chairs on the patio are in a poor state of repair and were very dirty Garden overgrown and not well cared for, ended up not using the outside space

Great location for us,house was comfortable and nicely arranged and very nice views from the rear bedroom window over the surrounding countryside.

Booked this lovely cottage at the last minute when our caravan had a fight with a tree

Very comfortable, bright and clean.

Wonderful shower. We will definitely stay again.

I had a wonderful break over Christmas at Appletree Cottage with my husband and greyhound - it was decorated beautifully and the welcome present and card made us feel right at home.

The cottage is very comfortable, the kitchen very well equipped, great walks from the door - would highly recommend.

We are quite local to the area and stayed here for a few weeks whilst waiting for our new build to be completed, so we didn’t really use it as a holiday cottage (had to go to work!

}. We really enjoyed our stay, the house was lovely and spacious with a large garden which we made use of when we had the hottest day of the year! The communication from the owner was excellent and kept checking in on us during our stay to see if everything was ok and whether we needed anything. All in all a lovely stay and would definitely recommend for holidaymakers wishing to explore the area.

Unfortunately we do not recommend a stay at Appletree Cottage.

The main reason for this is the beds. The double bed has a foam mattress. Only this is so sturdy that it literally feels like you're lying on a board. We therefore moved to the other bedroom halfway through the first night. However, the mattresses in this room are not much better. High in the middle because of the springs, only a few centimeters thick on the sides. So every time you turn over you practically roll out of bed. As a result, you don't really get a good night's sleep. The cottage itself has been refurbished and decorated with much love and attention. Yet you notice that the owner himself has never camped there for a week, because there are quite a few points that could be improved. • There is a smart TV in the living room, but it will not connect to the WiFi in any way. So watching Netflix is not an option. • The central heating is off in the summer. But that also means that the towel rail in the bathroom is off, so towels don't dry and you have to dry off with wet towels. • There are not enough plates, so you actually have to run the dishwasher every day because you keep getting wrong, especially on plates. The cylinder of the front door is loose and the closing mechanism of the front door does not feel very reliable.

Very comfortable, very central for travelling about and dog friendly.

Lovely property.
