The Apple Loft

Was a lovely location to be in away from the crowds of a busy hotel. Was basically an en suite kingsize room, with the addition of a large table and chairs, a microwave, a toaster, and importantly a fridge! Which meant a nice cold beer or glass of wine after a day's walking, and a place to store milk and keep items cool. The en suite was compact, and a nice size shower with plenty hot water. The owners were very good in seeing to my needs, when I asked for a dining chair to be able to sit higher, Barbara came with one within minutes. Was told I could go into their garden and sit to read if needed. I aim to make a return to do the rest of he places I didn't get to see soon!

Two things of which I didnt like, was having to wash breakfast dishes and glasses using the bathroom sink. The other dislike was the poor wifi, of which the signal had to come from the main hub, which was 50 yards away in the house. I did mention this to the owner, but couldnt really do anything about it. A simple plug-in wifi booster in the room would solve it. I was needing to do some online banking and despite a few efforts was unable to get fully connected.

Well equipped, comfortable bed, pub close by and near Minsmere what more could one want.

Nothing

We stayed at The Apple Loft mid-April 2024 and found it clean, with a comfortable bed, within walking distance of two pubs (no more than 5 minutes to the furthest one) and in a great location for RSPB Minsmere. It is a compact space, but had everything we needed for a two night stay and overall we were pleased with the physical accommodation.

The Apple Loft is located in what we would imagine is normally a very quiet area, where the mornings could be peaceful, and the birdsong clearly audible. Sadly during our visit there were no peaceful mornings due to the building construction site two doors down, which kicked into gear before 7.30am on both mornings we were there, and which was still going at 6pm on our second day there. This visit was for my 50th birthday and I was so looking forward to some tranquil lie ins instead of my usual early morning starts for work. Instead we had a constant drone from what we assume may have been a generator along with other construction noise, including beeping from reversing vehicles. Whilst we totally understand that this issue is out of the owners' control, we were not told of this prior to our visit. We feel that for something as noticable as this, and in a location people may be choosing for some quiet time away, we should have been advised of it before our visit, and we are somewhat unhappy that we were not. I do hope that guests booked to stay in the coming weeks are made aware up front of the current situation. This was a memorable 50th birthday but sadly not all of it for the right reasons.

Very comfortable and convenient for the coast

Location was great and communication with owners was excellent. Barbara was very kind and helpful. She booked us into a local pub when we got there late for dinner.

Nothing!

A nice compact but comfortable room with attached bathroom above a garage block on a private residential property. It was perfect for a couple of days while in the area. The room sleeps two persons in a double bed, toaster, fridge, microwave and plates and cutlery all provided. Hosts nice and friendly. The village has a small pub which does meals, but was fully booked when we were there, however our hosts also own a pub/restaurant in a neighbouring village five minutes drive away, very good meals, and well priced. Good beer as well,

You need to be able to climb a short flight of stairs to access the room, so be aware

Nice comfortable bed. Good en-suite. Mirror and plug available to dry your hair. Everything you need to do your own tea, coffee , breakfast and microwave meals.

Felt a bit wary on the stairs up to the loft.

Didn't actually stay here as the owner contacted to say they had to be away. However, they booked us into another property at The Fox Inn just up the road. Lovely accommodation and vert comfortable. Loved looking out over fields whilst showering. Peace and quiet was wonderful. And no light pollution 😊

Facilities to cook, but only 1 saucepan!
