About this property
Apple Cottage is a two bedroom charming cottage, based in picturesque Snowhill
Situated in the beautiful village of Snowshill, Apple Cottage is not short of character with its stone open fire place, mullion windows and exposed beams. Tastefully furnished, thoughtfully equipped and with stunning far reaching views, Apple Cottage is the ideal base for one or two couples, or a family with older children.
The majority of this characterful accommodation is situated on the ground floor, including a cosy sitting room with dining area; a light filled pretty kitchen; a useful utility area; along with the family bathroom with separate cloakroom/wc; and bedroom one, complete with en-suite shower room. Upstairs, spacious bedroom two occupies the entire first floor and benefits from dual aspect windows and a comfy king-size bed. Outside, the charming cottage garden is mature and very well-stocked; the perfect spot to enjoy those enviable views
Apple Cottage is set within the heart of Snowshill, a secluded village awash with traditional pretty cottages. Perched on top of the Cotswold escarpment with heavenly views across the Cotswolds, this is the English countryside at its best. The village is less than 3 miles from beautiful Broadway, often referred to as the 'Jewel of the Cotswolds', packed with independent traders, tea rooms, pubs, shops, art galleries and restaurants.
The local friendly pub, the Snowshill Arms, is in stumbling distance and is a perfect ending to a day out sightseeing in this beautiful part of the world. Or walker’s can set off from the front door and enjoy the ramble across to Stanton, where you can enjoy a well earned pub lunch and enjoy the amazing views at The Mount pub (booking essential).
A short walk from the property takes you to the National Trust's Snowshill Manor House and Gardens and tea room. Just up the road is the Cotswold Lavender Farm along with a delightful tearoom and shop selling the range of the farm's lavender products. The lavender flowers from June, and for several weeks the rows of plants make a spectacular sight.

Wonderful little cottage in the quaint village of Snowshill. Spacious and situated centrally in the Cotswolds so you can visit many other towns in the area.

Apple Cottage Retreat
We enjoyed our stay at Apple Cottage a good location to visit lots of the surrounding villages,and eating places.
This was our second time staying at Apple Cottage and we loved it just as much as the first! It’s absolutely gorgeous both in location and interiors. The host has thought of everything to make guests’ stays perfect. We will be back again!
These pictures can be believed! Absolutely gorgeous setting, and a charming cottage in a tiny but beautiful Cotswold village. Spotless and warm...I would love to go back again and again.

An exceptional Cotswolds experience
Apple Cottage exceeded every expectation that I had for my long held ambition of spending a week in a lovely little cottage in a quiet Cottswolds village. From the quaint features of the house to the amazing welcome pack to the spectacular views - truly spectacular.

Cotswold joy.
Lovely clean property in a lovely location.My only criticism would be that the sofa in the lounge isn't very comfortable and needs replacing. Overall a wonderful experience and weather to match.

A month with a view
We loved our stay at Apple Cottage. The staff which supports the cottage were fantastic and so helpful. Interim house cleaning was much appreciated. Sitting on the terrace and looking at the hills, you feel like you are in a story book. So much to see and do from this conveniently located home. The gardens were spectacular. A perfect place for either 2 people or 2 couples. Thanks for a truly memorable stay! We hope to return to Apple Cottage.

Loved it!
We had a wonderful time at Apple Cottage. Can only think of superlatives for this wonderful stay: clean, elegant and tastefully decorated, fully equipped, delicious products in a welcome basket. The terrace with comfortable garden furniture and the beautiful spacious (!) garden with lovely flowers and apple trees, pond and various seating areas offers plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the silence and tranquility. Here you can experience the deafening silence which is hard to find nowadays.
We have already booked our next holiday in Snowshill and that says it all.

Idyllic Cottage
One of the best holiday cottages we’ve ever stayed in. Beautiful stone cottage, very well equipped, comfortable and in a stunning location. The views and the well kept gardens were a treat and Jeff, the property manager, was very helpful
Our Home away from Home was amazing. We had a wonderful stay, Snowshill is a beautiful location and the home was so comfortable and welcoming. We arrived to a welcome package of all the essentials and more. Lati made us feel at home and was lovely.
We planned to return again as we loved it so much
Our stay at Apple Cottage was absolutely perfect! The cottage and surrounding gardens are straight out of a picture book and the location is perfectly appointed for getting to all the nearby Cotswold villages. When we return to England, we will definitely book it again!
Amazing property with the most incredible views! The cottage’s garden was completely enchanting with its own pond and wishing well. We could see the lush green hills and grazing sheep from our bed every morning. The property is exactly as described in its listing. It had everything you could need for a very comfortable stay. I can only hope we can return some day.

Slightly disappointed
We booked this very last minute, it was a lovely building, it was tucked away off a at times fairly busy road. it was very clean, however the furniture showed its age, and was not at all comfortable to sit on. Unfortunately in the lounge dinning room when we arrived there was an overpowering smell of smoke from the log fire, which stung our eyess, we tried everything to clear it, sadly we were not and decided to leave one day early. I informed Cotswolds hideaways, but heard nothing from them. Overall its a place you either like or not, we felt that although it was in a wonderful position the level of comfort was lacking.

Lovely house in a beautiful village. Very close to Broadway and other places of interest. Unfortunately, one of the toilets malfunctioned but it did not stop us enjoying a really relaxing break.

Stunning location, tired property
Great location, lovely old cottage but badly needs some help to make it appropriate for renting in the colder months. The beds and linen were excellent.
Upon arrival we tried to log on to the WiFi but quickly discovered the network indicated didn't exist and the password was incorrect for the one that did, made a call and the owner/caretaker came around and logged us onto this network. Later we discovered 2 welcome books both identical in every respect apart from the WiFi network!! We just randomly picked up the wrong one, what a waste of everyone's time when the solution is a 10 second fix!
The second issue was the open fire which smoked so badly the first night we had to douse it in water and open all the windows and doors, the draw is so bad I thought the chimney was blocked. I was assured it wasn't and tried again the following night, better but still had to open the windows and doors. Third night was more successful but only because of my past experience with open fires and log burners. Something badly needs to be done to improve the draw (canopy?), fit a cheap log burner, or improve the efficiency of the heating system to render the issue mute.
Thirdly the quality and variety of crockery provided in the kitchen was excellent, but the rest of the cooking utensils was very poor with some basics. missing, unforgivably there was no corkscrew!!! Seriously! this is what I mean when I say there just seems a lack of care taken over the whole property.
We could have have been more pleased with the Apple Cottage!

Apple Cottage is a really lovely property in Snowshill. It has everything required for a tranquil break away. The cottage sits high up in the village with wonderful views and has all the amenities you would require. A lovely property

Cottage is very well suited for 2 couples sharing.
I cannot fault this cottage. The only minor thing was the lack of a good coffee machine :)
Beautiful garden too, but the set could do with a bit of paint.
Honestly, even the gorgeous pictures did not quite prepare me for how stunningly Apple Cottage is situated in its tiny valley with sheep-studded hillsides stretching up around and birds seemingly everywhere. The back of the property abuts to the owner's beautifully terraced garden yard and pond. We saw many lovely little Cotswold towns during our stay, but none were as beautifully situated as Snowshill -- my son could hike for scenic miles from our door every morning, yet nearby Broadway was an excellent resource for anything we needed. We certainly hope to return.

Lovely cottage in idyllic location.
This is a lovely, comfortable cottage in an idyllic location. It's just a short walk a lovely pub; The Snowshill Arms and within short driving distances of traditional & charming Cotswold towns. To add to this National Trust properties and a steam railway are nearby. The cottage itself is extremely comfortable and boasts DVD / Blu Ray players for watching your favourite films whilst sitting in from of the log fire. A very generous welcome basket was provided on arrival which was very much appreciated. Overall a really lovely cottage.
