“We both found the bed & the settee very uncomfortable.”

We came home early as we both couldn’t get a good nights sleep!

“What a fantastic little hidden cottage.”

Such a warm welcome and the owners were wonderful. Cottage had everything you could want and the location is perfect. Bed was super comfortable and we loved the owners style and the thought that they had put into the cottage! Will definitely return.

Mr Ledgard September 2020

“The headline picture is a little deceiving.”

Awkward access down very narrow dog leg path. Washing machine hardly accessible hidden in corner under a counter. Sparse instructions Sitting room is a conservatory and would be too cold for a stay over winter.

Mrs Southcote August 2020

“Had a lovely time at Apple Tree Cottage, we found everything very clean and tidy with all the facilities we required for our break.”

The welcome pack of goodies was a lovely surprise and really appreciated. Located in a lovely spot and very quiet. The one thing that was missing were any instructions for the use of the oven and tv, we managed to use them but I think it would have been very useful when first arriving. Overall a lovely cottage and would book again.

Mrs Hodgkinson August 2020

“Only a minor point but from outside photo garden looked secure for our fog, but actually was open with easy access to busy main road.”

Not a huge problem we just had to let fog out on lead. Everything else was fantastic and the welcome back other unexpected and delightful to recove. We had a really lovely stay, weather really good, and hope to revisit in near future.

Mr Christopher February 2020

“On first arriving we thought we were on a building yard, gravel path is narrow, gravel too deep can't pull suitcase, on first entering converted out building met with smell of damp, had the little electric heater in conservatory/living room on every day/night, heater in kitchen on 24/7 and in bedroom and bathroom towel rail, window in bathroom would not close properly because of damp,no cleaning equipment.”

ie. broom,cleaning clothes, bathroom cleaner, whole of property around ceiling and corners full of cobwebs. Property not suitable for winter/spring letting unless much better insulated

“A lovely little cottage.”

It is small but cosy. The owners are very pleasant and helpful. This is not the place for people who need a lot of space but for us it was ideal

Miss Dyke February 2019

“Absolute gem of a cottage in a breathtaking rural setting.”

Boo Boo and I stayed without a car as we both needed fresh air and off the lead walking. Cottage contains everything you need and was lovely and snug ( two weeks Feb/March). Relaxed days and peaceful nights,very near to Ringstead Bay and the Owners are very Special,taking Boo Boo and I to the Bay. A Holiday I will never forget.

- Miss Dyke, February 2019
Mr Hall February 2019

“Apple tree was such a lovely cottage, small and cosy.”

The place is very dear to our hearts now, as my girlfriend and I got engaged on the trip! When the owners found out about the proposal, they left a card and a bottle of champagne and glasses at our front door; such a sweet gesture! Apple tree cottage will not disappoint you.

- Mr Hall, February 2019
Mr Budd November 2018

“It's hard to find anything negative to say about my stay.”

The only useful advice I can offer any future visitors is if it's your first visit, try to arrive in daylight hours as Satnav gives up at the crucial time. Also the parking is a bit tricky and involves reversing in from a narrow lane into a small space with a brick wall on the corner which at night is hard to see. Obviously this improves with practice. The property is very well appointed and was spotlesss with some nice thoughtful touches and there was a nice welcome pack of a bottle of ale and a small bottle of wine. Rachel and her husband were very welcoming. Rachel made herself available by mobile even when she was away for a couple of days. Rachel even gave me a lift to meet my daughter who had managed to get a bit lost when visiting. In all a very positive positive experience which I hope to have again in the near future.

“That is a perfect little cottage, I can recommend to anyone.”

Can be enough for 2, but in this case they have to be in love very much:) Because the cottage itself is tiny in every way, but totally perfect for 1 person. Very clean, I hardly found a spot anywhere, even though I always check everything with an ex-hotel housekeeper supervisor's eye. (OK, under the bed it was a few dust bunny;) Very nice and stylish bathroom, bedroom is excellent, and the mattress - I bet - is memory foam! The ever best mattress in my holidays! Kitchen is enough to cook, also prepared with most things we should need. The living room is perfect, comfy. It is in the rear garden of the main house, but nicely separated and so there is no disturbing at all to each other, yet we have easy contact with them if needed. From the front - where we can park - a small fenced path leads us around the garden towards to the cottage. The owners are lovely family, they are very helpful and kind. Welcome pack waited for me with some sweets and prosecco:) Easy access from the main road. The area is beautiful. Lots to see and visit, such as castles, museums, gardens, coastline. Coast is a few miles away, lovely walk, though must be fit to that. Jurassic coastline runs along, Durdle door, Lulworth cove, fossil forest, Golden cap and many other famous viewing spot is just about 30-40 mins drive. Perfect stay, calm, relaxing, I can recommend.

Miss Baxter October 2018

“The cottage had everything we needed for a very relaxed enjoyable week.”

I panicked when I realised I had failed to pack my hairdryer, very pleased to find one in the cottage. It made a great base to explore the surrounding beaches and countryside. Rachel the owner gave us a warm welcome and was to hand if we needed anything. We would happily make a return visit.
