“A gem of a find!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2011

I absolutely love this little place and will definitely visit again and again and recommend it to everyone I know. It's exceptional value, whether you pay the full price (it's worth every penny) or are lucky to get the discount price. We planned a 4 day retreat to relax and switch off and Applehay is stunning and everything I hoped for. The decor is finished beautifully and it was a real treat to have your own front door with freedom to eat breakfast whenever you like and cook. Jo and Alan were so welcoming and lovely, we really felt we could completely relax in our home away from home. The surrounding area is gorgeous too for walks and I'd highly recommend getting over to Shaftesbury and it's perfectly situated for National Trust park's and houses too. If you're lucky enough to be planning your stay in this area look no further. You wont regret it.

“Perfect Country Hideaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2010

Much better than a B&B, my husband and I were very comfortable here; home from home for a few days retreat. Everything you need and friendly hosts. We stayed on a special offer too, making what was already good value unbeatable value. The surrounding area is lovely making it a good base for exploring the quaint villages around and Shaftesbury is just over a 5 minute drive away. Would be excellent location for the many local walks in good weather. We hope to be back some time after our little one is born next year

“The perfect retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2010

Comfortable, well-equipped accommodation comprising lounge with more than adequate kitchen requirements, shower room/toilet, and upstairs double bedroom. Set in peaceful, rural surroundings and ideal for a couple to chill out or explore Shaftesbury and the beautiful Dorset and Wiltshire countryside. Highly recommended

“Unlike another good review elsewhere, I should limit my observations to the negative points - NONE!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2010

If you want good value for money then this is it with amazingly generous breakfast and versatile accomodation. The concept and implementation of all facilities is faultless. This is where we stay in the area when we can.
