Exceptional

We had a very pleasant stay. The owners were very hospitable and helpful. The area is nice and quiet with lovely nature in the area. The cottage was warm and comfortable and had everything one would need (despite what other reviews have said). One of the best places we have stayed in (and we’ve stayed in a lot). Will definitely look to coming back in the future.

Lovely spacious cottage with a decent outside area for our dog. Perfect base for our honeymoon without having to travel any more than half an hour to get to the local attractions.The only suggestion I would make is regarding the draw full of leaflets for the local attractions and days out being included in the welcome pack as we did not come across these until the last day.Would 100% consider booking here again if we come back to the area in the future

Our family of five (two adults, two teenagers and our dog. Recently enjoyed a wonderful weekend in Apple Tree Cottage. Accommodation was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Only a few miles away in Reepham we were able to get supplies and enjoy a lovely meal at the Kings Head. Enjoyed trips to Cromer and Holkham (circa 40 minutes away).

We loved everything about this cottage and can’t wait to rebook as soon as it becomes available. It had plenty of space and storage, a well equipped kitchen, wonderfully warm, good quality bed linen and towels, peace and privacy yet within easy reach of Holt, Wells and the wonderful north norfolk coast plus great National Trust houses such as Blickling, Felbrigg and Holkham Hall.

We had an absolutely wonderful week in this lovely cottage. Booking and arrangements all went smoothly. Garden was secure and just perfect for the dog. We had no noisy roads to contend with and the cottage was exceptionally well equipped for a cosy, quiet and peaceful break. You do have to travel a few miles by car to access the amenities in surrounding villages (Reepham is lovely) but this did not bother us at all. We also got to the beach, National Trust sites, antique centres etc all within a 30 minute drive. I would definitely recommend Apple Tree and we hope to return soon.

A beautiful traditional beamed cottage in rural location.
A beautiful traditional beamed cottage in rural location. Everything was spotless with a welcome cake for me and treats for my dog.
Garden absolutely secure for the dog and accessed from the lovely conservatory. Even a towel to wipe dog’s feet.
The cottage is very well equipped, cosy and comfortable and nothing was too much trouble for Cassie and Steve, the owners. Sunny and I were made so welcome and would most certainly return to visit. My only slight niggle was a very personal thing with the bathroom and toilet being downstairs. I have recently had knee surgeries and a nighttime visit to the bathroom was a painful journey!! No problem for able persons. One of the nicest places I have stayed at .

Cottage was wonderful and we couldn't have wished for better. We would have scored location higher but we had such awful weather we would have liked a more local shop otherwise couldn't fault it. Owners had thought of everything you possibly could have needed, including for the dog.
