Guests say

The Apple Shed is a well-received cottage, praised for its peaceful location, spacious and comfortable rooms with en suites, and welcoming hosts. Guests enjoy the hot tub, fire pit, and large garden, though some note the garden could be more secure for pets. The property's accessibility and proximity to attractions add to its appeal, despite minor issues with TV reception and cleanliness in some areas.

Most guests found The Apple Shed clean and well-presented, with particular mention of comfortable beds and soft towels. However, a few noted issues with cobwebs, window sills, and a smell of damp in some areas, suggesting room for improvement in thoroughness and maintenance.

The property's location is highly regarded for its tranquillity and convenience for visiting nearby attractions. Guests appreciate the quiet area, proximity to eateries, and the ease of touring Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. Some difficulty in locating the property due to lack of signage was mentioned.

Guests consistently praise the comfort of The Apple Shed, highlighting the spacious rooms, king-size beds, and en suites. The property's peaceful environment contributes to a restful experience, though some guests suggested additional amenities like bath mats and handrails for improved comfort.

Facilities like the hot tub, fire pit, and well-equipped kitchen are well-liked, but several guests encountered issues with TV reception and a non-working washing machine. The garden's lack of full enclosure for pets and some maintenance concerns slightly detract from the overall experience.

While many reviews reflect positively on the thoughtfulness of the hosts and the provision of amenities, there is no specific mention of gifts provided to guests. Therefore, it is not possible to assess this category based on the available information.

About this property

Approached by quiet, rural country roads in a peaceful and tranquil setting, and then accessed via a long driveway, sits this contemporary bungalow within several acres of the owner’s land. The Apple Shed can be found nestled on the outskirts of Wisbech, and provides a lovely base for families and friends to come together and enjoy this serene location. Step into the entrance hall where you can leave your boots and jackets before continuing into the open-plan living area. This room will become the social hub of the property, beautifully presented with neutral tones and plenty of natural lighting, it is a modern space for cooking and socialising in the evening.

Gather at the dining table to enjoy a lovingly-prepared home-cooked meal, or take the evening outside and enjoy the scenic countryside, sipping on a glass of wine and toasting to a long-awaited getaway. As you look to rest, there are three neatly presented bedrooms to choose from, including two king-size rooms with en-suite wetrooms, and a twin with zip/link beds (can be a super-king-size on request) with an en-suite shower. Each of the bedrooms feature a neutral colour scheme and wardrobe space for your personal belongings. A couple of minutes walk cross the fields lies Mile Tree Brewery, which welcomes guests for drinks and meals.

The property enjoys a great location – just a mile away lies the town centre of Wisbech, so you can wander in for a day exploring the town, before walking along the River Nene and stopping off at a local café for a sweet treat, or continue to explore the trails around Wisbech Park, which extends over 12 acres and boasts an adventure playground. Elsewhere in the town you will find the independent Luxe Cinema where you can catch a film, as well as the Wisbech & Fenland Museum, ideal for those history buffs. If exploration takes you further afield, you have King’s Lynn, Peterborough and Cambridge within driving distance, making The Apple Shed a fantastic choice for a getaway any time of year.

Wisbech is a market town in Cambridgeshire's extreme north-east, bordering Norfolk and slightly under 20 miles from the coast. This town was awarded the Gold Award in the big town category in the RHS Anglia in Bloom competition in 2019. It has a bustling high street with shops, restaurants, and pubs, as well as a scattering of independent local businesses. On a gloomy afternoon, visit Luxe Theater, an independent cinema with traditional plush seats, or tour Peckover House and Garden, a majestic Georgian townhouse turned museum located inside a lush 2-acre garden overlooking the River Nene. On a beautiful day, walk about Wisbech Park and have a picnic for lunch, or travel out to nearby King's Lynn, a historic maritime town, for a fun day out. Wisbech is a lovely destination to spend your vacation.

    Plenty of room for all the family. Would recommend this to anyone.

  • Elisabeth

    The place was perfect for 6 adults, all having king size beds and en suites, then a social living and kitchen area. The garden was huge, and the hot tub and fire pit were just a perfect addiction. The hosts were great at communicating and responded promptly when we had a slight issue with the drainage in one of the wet rooms. We couldn’t have asked for anything more, a very enjoyable stay, thank you Jim and Inna
