Lovely property, comfortable and welcoming, with a beautifully open rural aspect- we found it really peaceful and relaxing. Beds are super comfy with good quality bedding.

We really enjoyed our stay at Apple Tree Barn. The property was spotlessly clean, with excellent appliances in the kitchen and a good comfortable lounge. There is a large enclosed dog friendly garden and walks nearby along the river. During our stay we were lucky enough to go to an open garden festival in the village which was taking place.
