Superb

Loved the seclusion, great little cottage.

Just need to point out that the oven is tiny! I'd brought a pizza to cook for tea the first night.

We had a nice and relaxing stay

Nice and quiet location! As my wife said: it looks like the Hansel and Grettel house. With the elementary luxury - a good couch, a good bed and shower.

The cabin has a one pit stove, so only simple cooking is possible. We had diner outside. Car park is at the main house - meaning there is a little walk (with luggage) through the yards to get to the cabin.

Really nice little place with log fire surrounded by nature, ponies, lamas and sheeps near buy.

Be prepared as it might be a bit muddy if it rains too much, so wellies are a must. Gate could be moved on the side to help with the muddy situation

Relaxing getaway with cute horses as neighbours.

The quirky, quaintness of the property and how it is decorated. Bed was comfy, log fire was great and wood well stocked up. Homemade cake was very tasty and a lovely touch.

The doors opening onto the houses opposite.

Sadly, next to a housing estate.

The owners have put a lot of effort in creating a bespoke property. However, it was not shown to be next to housing estate. Due to its actual location, we left just a few hours into our three-night stay.

The listing did not show that the property is a stone's throw from a housing estate. The decking required mending. The windows had no insect screens, which was a shame, as in very hot weather opening them invited all the fields insects into the Apple Shed. There were mice scurrying around under the shed (probably to be expected) and spiders coming through the roof and floorboards. Worth a mention is that at the time of our stay, all local pubs in walking distance had long been closed down. Other than these few issues, it was a lovely place, just not right for us.

a fun location for a couple of days

peaceful; quirky; rustic and charming; lovely location as long as not raining!

few wobbly floorboards; more robust wheelbarrow needed for transporting luggage

I loved everything. The shed is a corner of a paradise. It is vintage decorated but with the nowadays comfort (hot water and electricity). The peace is something extraordinary coming from a chaotic and constantly buzzing london. This place could able to heal any soul. It is perfect for families too as my little girl loved it. Thank you for having us.

We appreciated the idea of the cake but unfortunately we dont eat raisins (something that the owner could not know of course). The kettle needs to be descale
