Comfortable & very well equipped. Grateful for generous welcome hamper. Quiet and peaceful location. Lounge area felt on the cool side and probably would not be warm enough during very cold weather. Unable to control en suite towel rail which needed to be warmer to dry towels.
We enjoyed our time at Apple Tree Cottage set in a delightful quiet environment so close to nature with the french windows opening on to a rural wild life treasure trove, a dray horse and a Shetland pony keeping us company, a friendly squirrel, a pair of blackbirds, a pair of robins, a coal tit in and out of a flowering currant bush, the wind rustling in the woodland opposite; and in the walled garden a pair of inquisitive pheasants having their breakfast under the apple tree. Occasionally buzzards would hover overhead.
Lovely accommodation in perfect location.
Wonderful accomodation, well planned and clean. We appreciated all the care that had gone into creating a valuable holiday experience.
Beautiful cottage in a lovely peaceful location, cannot recommend it highly enough. Matthew the owner was very helpful and the welcome hamper was a lovely surprise. Perfectly situated just a short stroll from the village pub and within easy reach of the coast.
Gorgeous comfortable and peaceful cottage. Very relaxing. Great safe back garden for the dog to explore. Lovely views over the fields. Will definitely return
This is a delightful spot. The cottage is well appointed and is a very nice space to spend time in....especially as we stayed with an older person for whom stairs would have been a challenge. Good quality furnishings etc. Excellent WiFi connectivity (despite some of the previous reviews comments.) Perfect location close enough to the coast but not amongst the crowds. Delightful front gatden and lovely to watch rabbits and other wildlife from the fields from the back garden. There were some minor improvements I am going to suggest to the owners directly but very happy to recommend Apple Tree Cottage.
The location was beautiful and the cottage comfortable and well equipped, however we had insufficient hot water for three showers for the first day. The problem was fixed on the Saturday morning. We had a lovely holiday and very much enjoyed the tranquillity of Apple Tree Cottage.
Received comprehensive information from owner regarding entry instructions and local information well in advance of our stay. The cottage was exactly as described and provided us with a tranquil and private setting which we desired. Appreciated the basic provisions supplied in the fridge and in summary had a thoroughly enjoyable time - will definitely be booking this cottage again!
FROM THE OWNER ~ We appreciate you leaving us a 5-star review, and appreciate you enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the cottage. Thank you again and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Lovely place. Well thought out decor. Very quiet and secluded.
FROM THE OWNER ~ Thank you for leaving such a lovely review.
Beautiful quiet retreat, sadly with 3 UK storms in a week it was challenging to enjoy all that the local area had to offer!
This is by far one of the best places we have ever stayed in. Perfect location just outside the lovely village of Little Walsingham (only a 10 minute walk) The garden overlooks fields where we saw horses and pheasants daily. The cottage itself has everything you could want for a self-catering holiday. Kitchen is well laid out and has a microwave, dishwasher and washing machine as well as all the utensils and things you need for cooking and baking. The bedrooms are both of a good size with lovely bathrooms. There was a beautiful hamper to greet us with cereal, biscuits and things like butter, milk and orange juice in the fridge too. The owner was very nice. He sent good instructions of the property and how to access it a week before we arrived. It was also reassuring that he was able to answer any questions we had promptly and in a very professional way. All in all a wonderful week in this lovely cottage and when we return to this part of Norfolk, we will certainly stay here again. Many thanks for making our holiday perfect!
The cottage was very nice, but we found the beds in the twin room very uncomfortable. The very low bed in main bedroom not good for older visitors to get up and down.
FROM THE OWNER ~ We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Bed comfort can be very subjective, but we appreciate your thoughts, to accommodate this we have now provided a topper for the beds. Since a few older guests have commented on the height of the bed in the master bedroom, we have decided to replace this with a loaf bed, which hopefully will be more appropriate for all guests.
Good accommodation, well appointed, excellent location, very welcoming, Owner provided hypo allergenic bedding specially for us. Welcome hamper well stocked with treats we liked.
A very comfortable cottage. So peaceful and well equipped.
Excellent cottage in nice quiet location. Just s short walk into Walsingham.
