  • "Lovely house with views over the valley."

    Very clean, and kitchen well equipped. Dining table needs attention, legs are very loose. Enough seating for 6 adults lounge and dining room. En suite and bathroom very clean and quite new, electric showers in both so no probs with hot water. Bedrooms have 2 king size beds, one zip link to separate into 2 small singles, not super kingsize as advertised. 3rd room has 2 single beds. Track leading to property is off road and uneven. Oil central heating - lovely and cosy. We accessed the house from the back as there is a porch, easier to dry dogs before taking them indoors. Hard floors throughout - perfect for dog families. Garden is enclosed but not dog proof, back fence in garden corner - no visible fence and other areas that dogs can get out. Sheep and lambs in adjoining field so we kept our dogs on leads in the garden. Also dogs not allowed upstairs, not made clear in advert, only in documents at the property. Stair gate provided, we used on kitchen door as didn’t want to put on stairs, space not too good and don’t want to mark the walls. We have a 6 m puppy so no choice but to have her with us in bedroom in her crate. Good cleaning equipment, vac, mop, broom, dustpan and brush. Dishwasher very handy and tabs under the sink. Would book again, as this is a lovely property, and smart tv a reasonable size, we used our Google stick to view. WiFi provided good enough to stream.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feed back, we will attend to the dining room table legs immediately we are sorry this problem was not picked up while we were cleaning, as its a solid wooden table from time to time we have to re tighten the fixings We will also immediately repair the garden fencing as this should be dog proof. this is something we feel is very important so that all dogs can be let room freely in the garden. Dogs are also allowed upstairs, we will check through the welcome pack to ensure this is amended so that our guests feel free to have dogs upstairs. The track has been damaged by the recent heavy rain and the stone is due to be topped up. to avoid any confusion Bedroom 1 is a king size bed, Which can be changed to 2 single beds (this is the firm mattress) Bedroom 2 is a double bed and less firm than the kingsize in bedroom Bedroom 3 is 2 single beds We live within a few minutes of the property and our phone numbers are on the welcome pack, should any of our guests have any queries or problems we are always happy to help We hope you do stay with us again and have enjoyed this stay too. Best wishes Ian and Emma Property Owner

  • "Our arrival in the dark along the long track added to the magic of this lovely property that was dressed for Christmas."

    There was an appreciated welcome gift to enhance our arrival .The spacious ground floor and generous double bedrooms gave the three us, and our 2 guinea pigs, excellent living accommodation. The country views from inside and outside added joy . A welcoming visit from Ian and the chance to speak to Emma on the last day confirmed the care for Applecroft that is so evident.

    Thank you for your feedback. It was lovely to meet you all, and a pleasure to dress Applecroft for Christmas, we love the area where we live and love sharing it with our guests, hope to see you all, and the guinea pigs again !! Thank you, Ian & Emma Property Owner

  • "We were very impressed with everything about Applecroft."

    We loved the views from all the windows and the quiet seclusion. Emma had decorated the downstairs for Christmas, not only with a tree but with lovely little light up ornaments. We appreciated the generous provisions left for us too. The house was plenty big enough for our 3 generation family with ages ranging from two to seventy two. Another big plus was the firm mattress in the en-suite bedroom - perfect for aging backs! Although the weather wasn’t suitable to be in the garden, it would be great in summer - very private and with lots of space.

    Thank you for your review and comments, it was a delight decorating the house for Christmas and we are so pleased you and your family enjoyed your stay here with us at Applecroft, we hope to see you all again, thank you Ian & Emma Property Owner

    Very clean and well maintained. Emma's communication was amazing and she tried her best to sort an issue with the washing machine. Had a lovely meal in a place that was highly recommended by Emma and some great days out exploring the local area.

    So glad you enjoyed your stay with us, it was lovely to meet you all, hope to see you all again so you can continue exploring and discovering all this area has to offer Property Owner

    thank you for your feedback, it was lovely to meet you, I'm sorry the mattress was a little hard for you, its difficult to find furniture that everyone finds comfortable, the second bedroom which is also a double does have a softer mattress, hope to see you again, thanks Ian & Emma Property Owner

    .. with 4 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs to be able to say that the surroundings were absolutely perfect is some feat but really could say nothing less.
