2nd time we’ve stayed in Apple House with our 2 small dogs. Lovely barn conversion everything’s well thought out and there’s everything provided for your stay (excepting of course food ) Wine, Home made apple juice , milk & cake on are left for you on arrival along with a basket of fresh eggs & even the dogs don’t get left out with a little welcome basket of balls, treats & emergency poop bags.
Barn is immaculately clean as is bed linen & towels , even towels are provided for Hot Tub use so you really only need to take separate beach towels for days out .
Lovely peaceful setting & the dogs loved exploring the river at the bottom of the field. The field onto the river is secure enough if your dog has recall, to enjoy a game of fetch in but there are free range chickens & ducks in the next field . The wall around the courtyard garden of Apple House is secure to let your dogs out in – although our inquisitive boy did find a low section so we just put our travel gate in front of it .
Host Sylvia & her family are lovely & welcoming & are on hand if you need them for anything.
Barns are near to many good walks & towns all around a 30min drive away as the barn is “inland” so if you don’t mind driving out there’s plenty to see. We found Bude beach to be a nice dog friendly beach . Barn is lovely & cool downstairs in the sunny weather but can get a little warm in the bedrooms (as in the roof area) so we took fans with us but that is really only a small thing.
Once again a lovely stay in a great setting with great hosts!
