Jane
Very clean, and kitchen well equipped. Dining table needs attention, legs are very loose. Enough seating for 6 adults lounge and dining room. En suite and bathroom very clean and quite new, electric showers in both so no probs with hot water. Bedrooms have 2 king size beds, one zip link to separate into 2 small singles, not super kingsize as advertised. 3rd room has 2 single beds. Track leading to property is off road and uneven. Oil central heating - lovely and cosy. We accessed the house from the back as there is a porch, easier to dry dogs before taking them indoors. Hard floors throughout - perfect for dog families. Garden is enclosed but not dog proof, back fence in garden corner - no visible fence and other areas that dogs can get out. Sheep and lambs in adjoining field so we kept our dogs on leads in the garden. Also dogs not allowed upstairs, not made clear in advert, only in documents at the property. Stair gate provided, we used on kitchen door as didnât want to put on stairs, space not too good and donât want to mark the walls. We have a 6 m puppy so no choice but to have her with us in bedroom in her crate. Good cleaning equipment, vac, mop, broom, dustpan and brush. Dishwasher very handy and tabs under the sink. Would book again, as this is a lovely property, and smart tv a reasonable size, we used our Google stick to view. WiFi provided good enough to stream.

There was an appreciated welcome gift to enhance our arrival .The spacious ground floor and generous double bedrooms gave the three us, and our 2 guinea pigs, excellent living accommodation. The country views from inside and outside added joy . A welcoming visit from Ian and the chance to speak to Emma on the last day confirmed the care for Applecroft that is so evident.

We loved the views from all the windows and the quiet seclusion. Emma had decorated the downstairs for Christmas, not only with a tree but with lovely little light up ornaments. We appreciated the generous provisions left for us too. The house was plenty big enough for our 3 generation family with ages ranging from two to seventy two. Another big plus was the firm mattress in the en-suite bedroom - perfect for aging backs! Although the weather wasnât suitable to be in the garden, it would be great in summer - very private and with lots of space.
