We loved our stay at The Apple Press. The cottage is really well equipped and was very comfortable for 4 adults. The location was ideal for a family event in the area, close enough to Taunton for shops and restaurants as well as being in lovely countryside. Thanks to Susan for all her help during our stay.We will definitely book again when in the area.

Perfect retreat

We were 4 old friends all going through hard times that managed to reunite for a weekend of fun, rest and food - and the Apple Press did not disappoint! The finish on the whole property was stunning - so well equipped and lots of personal touches to make it extra special. The hot tub was lovely. Would definitely recommend!

Taunton Visit

We had a great time at this lovely cottage. It was spacious and in very good order with a lovely courtyard ( or two ) complete with hot tub! Great location nestled into a small hamlet surrounded by stunning Somerset countryside. The owner was very discreet but absolutely brilliant. We will certainly go back.

Girls Weekend Away

My 4 daughters and I had a really enjoyable and relaxing stay in this beautiful property. Our host Sarah couldn’t have been more helpful, from our initial booking until check out time. The Apple press has everything that you could possibly need and much more. I would highly recommend and would definitely visit again.

Delightful cottage break

My family of four plus lola our dog had a wonderful 3 day break . On arrival the cottage spotlessly clean and very well equipped with buckets of character . Sarah was very helpful with a few questions we had . The beds were really comfy and the hot tub was the icing on the cake . All in all a perfect break . We will definitely return .

Amazing relaxing stay

The Apple Press couldn’t be more perfect as a place to unwind, from the location to the facilities we honestly couldn’t have asked for more. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and a great space for socialising, eating meals together & playing board games, the space feels so warm and welcoming. The lounge was great in the evenings or when we needed to hide from the rain, a log burner is always a bonus. The outside space is great and the hot tub was a great way to warm up after a rain shower walk into the village. Would highly recommend and will definitely be looking to book again.

Great place in a very quiet rural location but only 10 mins from Taunton

Property is large and has spacious bedrooms, kitchen and living areas. The two outside areas are perfect for what we wanted - didn’t use the hot tub (although I imagine it’s great) but did play table tennis and used the BBQ. Beds very comfortable for us and although there is one shower in the en suite my 2 prefer baths anyway so we didn’t have any issues with logistics like some have. Sarah the host was lovely and very helpful - only about when we had a question. We’d definitely stay again.

Lovely cottage, but needs some tlc

Nice cottage but could be fantastic with a few updates and tweaks. Most Doors not fitting well. Sliding door in small bedroom not fitted correctly so bangs if window open. Everyone has to use downstairs bathroom to shower. Shower door has no inside handle. Kitchen fronts cupboards dirty. Spiders everywhere with giant cobwebs. All floors not very clean , dusty and under beds and behind furniture not been cleaned In a while. Had no communication with host at all during visit despite reading reviews in property how welcoming host is and delighted by assumed homemade cakes, we had tub of mini rolls. No recycling facilities despite a leaflet on where bags/boxes located etc... However, despite all the above, cottage bedding and bathrooms were very clean and hot tub was fab . Great facilities and loads of games and entertainment.

Dear Hayleigh, It is unfortunate your 3 nights at The Apple Press fell below your expectations and the property was not as you had expected. I am sorry you found dust under the beds and behind the furniture. Beds are hoovered under and mopped, the floors are hoovered and mopped and the furniture get the same treatment. The barn in the description is 18th century, has retained scissor trusses and a vaulted ceiling so consequently there will be spiders but not in the numbers you have intimated. Kitchen cupboard fronts get sanitised after every visit. They are not dirty. There are a few minor permerment marks due to work top oil dripping on to the fronts which unfortunatley might have been what you took as dirt. I do not and have never made a homemade cake for my guests. I buy well made cakes from the local bakery which was closed the day you arrived so I bought a tub of Marks and Spencer mini cakes which got eaten. The doors are solid oak rustic doors. They open and shut so do their job. The sliding door has been looked at and fixed to hopefully stop the banging if its windy when the windows are open. Thank you for that constructive comment I have been able to remedy likewise the handle in the shower. The recycling boxes were missing the day you arrived as it was bin day. The boxes were returned the next day. Im sorry you didn't see them but if you had messaged me I would have been able to direct you to them. In my informaton the first floor bathroom is described as a bathroom with bath and WC. It is unfortunate that there is no headroom for a shower in the first floor bathroom but there is a telephone shower mixer tap on the bath. In my email to you when I send all the information I ask you to contact me on your arrival. I do not like to impinge on my guests holiday time. Since Covid I have not welcomed anyone in person and only if the guests make the first move or there is something wrong with the hot tub do I make contact. As you did not message me I assumed you were happy and there was not a problem. Thank you for your comments on the cleanliness of the bathrooms and bedding. I'm pleased you enjoyed the hot tub and facilities The Apple Press offered.

Amazing - calm property

We booked the Apple Press for a weekend to celebrate my birthday - the place has such a calm presence and was perfect for a group of 50 year olds to relax and totally switch off. Sarah was so incredibly helpful and real delight - we will definitely be back

Just lovely

4 of us stayed, for a long weekend of relaxing and we certainly did that (with aid of the hot tub). The house was warm, clean and extremely comfortable. Everything we needed was there and the cake welcoming us, was just perfect thank you. Sarah was on hand with anything (if we needed it), but because everything was perfect, we didn't need Sarah's assistance. Thank you for letting us stay, in your lovely home. The break was needed, more than you realise.

Utterly beautiful

We were a party of 4 friends and stayed for a long weekend last week. When we arrived we were delighted with The Apple Press, so pretty and in a lovely location. Everything about the property is beautiful, lovely kitchen, charming interior, such comfortable beds and so spacious. There is nothing you could think of which could be added, Sarah, the owner, has thought of everything. Sarah is a lovely lady, who lives across the courtyard and made sure everything was perfect at all times. We made full use of the lovely hot tub every day. I would recommend this property to anyone wishing to explore this beautiful part of Somerset. Fabulous, thank you Sarah.
