This cottage was beautiful, fantastic views over to the castle, (which is walkable, through the fields, a three mile round walk which we did with children).
The cottage is spotless and well equipped. the setting is very tranquil, shops and pubs within a 2/3 mile drive.
Would definately recommend this property
Hosts very helpful and friendly.
Loved our stay at Appleshine! Magnificent spot with views looking out to Castle Hill and surrounding area. Rolling hills and local farms making up a picturesque scene. Cottage is small but has everything you need. It is furnished tastefully and feels like home. Beds are comfortable and linen is crisp. We hope to enjoy another stay in the not too distant future. Thank-you! Kaz & Dave, Melbourne, Australia

Lovely cottage.
Lovely cottage. Clean and comfy. Amazing views and good walks all around. Very tall husband found bathrooms and some furniture a bit wee, but we had a great time anyway.

Beautiful cottage with splendid views.
Beautiful cottage with splendid views. Very well equipped - you need take nothing other than your personal belongings. We may well go again when we visit Yorkshire.
It's a pity that these days duvets are universal and there are no options for varying the weight and warmth of the bedding - an issue in all rooms away from home!
