“We’ve just had a fabulous weekend at Apple Tree Cottage .”

The house is very cosy and well presented. We made use of the log burner and all loved the hot tub . The Monkton Arms is also worth a visit for its amazing food .

“The cottage was well kept, very spacious and easy to get around, this was especially important as we had a disabled guest in a wheelchair, this posed no problem and the downstairs toilet was accessible in the wheelchair.”
Mrs Smith January 2020

“We booked Apple Tree cottage as a group of friends for a weekend escape and it was absolutely perfect.”

Very clean, comfy beds, a log burner ready to use with what turned out to be enough fuel for the whole wintery weekend. The owner is on hand to answer any queries. Hot tub was fab and there is a lovely pub within short walking distance. Definitely recommend.
Mr Pinkard December 2019

“Lovely cottage in a peaceful location.”

Owner was very helpful throughout our stay. Only a short walk to the local pub with a great children’s play garden.

“It was a beautiful cottage in a lovely English village.”

Everything was lovely but being such an old property there were many cobwebs and spiders. However it was very comfortable and the garden was superb with a lovely big hot tub. We really did have a fantastic weekend thank you.

“It was a beautiful house in the country side.”

“Owners very helpful, flexible and responsive, great outdoor space”
Mrs Kearney May 2019

“This cottage was incredible and perfect for a weekend away with a large group.”

The photos on the website were incredibly accurate and the owner of the cottage was incredibly friendly and useful. Not too far away from the coast or other areas in Dorset (Poole, Swanage, Wareham) where there were activities during the day. The cooking facilities were excellent and easy to use. The hot tub was great, although would probably need to be cleaned more regularly if staying for a long period of time. I would definitely recommend this cottage and would stay again.

About the location

BLANDFORD FORUM

Thornicombe 2.7 miles; Child Okeford 6.5 miles; Moors Valley Country Park & Forest 17.9 miles.

Blandford Forum is a market town in Dorset, England, situated by the River Stour. Notable for its Georgian architecture, most of the town was rebuilt in the 18th century after it was destroyed by a fire in 1731. King George II made a donation to rebuild the town centre with designs from local architects John and William Bastard. The Blandford Georgian Fayre is an annual event held in the first week of May and celebrates its Georgian heritage, with presentations, historical re-enactments and music and dancing. One of the town’s biggest events takes place on the late Bank Holiday weekend, the Great Dorset Steam Fair. A largely colourful festival with over 2,000 exhibits and an old time steam funfair. Offering a wide selection of independent store, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, cafés and a Georgian tearoom. So much to visit within this quaint town and makes for a wonderful tourist attraction, whatever the season.
