Apple Loft

great place to stay very clean great owners thank you lyn and brian

We had a very relaxing break at Apple Loft, perfect location for a couple or a family with small children, space is limited but cosy.

Easy access for local sites, a very useful folder has been created by Vicky which we used as a guide for our week's holiday.

We had a very enjoyable stay, a very cosy cottage with everything provided that we'd need when self catering.

The local knowledge provided was invaluable & it was a perfect place to take your four legged friend. We really appreciated the cream tea on arrival, the logs for the wood burner & the secure field for walking our dog. Thank you very much.

Difficult to find ,more positive signage would help a lot.

The place was wonderful inside was nice has well the stairs was steep but apart from that would recommend to everybody thanks for the stay

Enjoyed our stay at the Appleloft and found the accommodation very relaxing and comfortable.

The owners on site were very accommodating and responsive if we needed anything. Loved waking up to birdsong and the sound of the animals,the lambs were very cute! Would definitely stay here again without hesitation.We miss it already x

We really enjoyed our stay at Apple Loft.

Vicky and Chris were both very welcoming and we loved being able to explore the farm and see the animals. Thankyou for allowing the children to participate in daily jobs with the chickens and horses! The cream tea was a welcome treat too!

The barn was clean, well equipped and comfortable.

The rural location is quiet and peaceful but within easy reach of amenities and beaches. A warm welcome from the host and a lovely cream tea on arrival was the perfect start to a very relaxing week.

Lovely part of Cornwall, quite often missed by most travellers.

The cottage is quirky, I like the layout and the beams. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need. Loved waking up to the sound of sheep in the mornings. Would definitely recommend if, like me, you enjoy the countryside and peace and tranquility.

Lovely quirky cottage in a peaceful setting.

Friendly owners

We enjoyed our stay at the Apple Loft and found the property comfortable and a great base to explore Cornwall.

The location was very peaceful and we enjoyed listening to the owls at night and also there was no light pollution. The cream tea was also most welcome after a long journey.

This was our second stay at Apple Lodt and it certainly reaffirmed why we chose to return.

Set in a beautiful and very peaceful location, it is perfect for those wanting to switch off and relax. When we arrived, the owners were on site and they couldn’t have been more welcoming. Being a working livestock farm, they made the children more than welcome, giving them the opportunity to feed the lambs and chickens, as well as generally helping out. The cottage is the perfect size for a small family, with fresh scones, cream and jam awaiting us on our arrival. The location is perfect for exploring Cornwall, especially the South Coast, with easy access to Looe, Fowey etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending Apple Loft to anyone. Thanks once again for making our stay so special.

Very warm welcome and lovely cream tea on arrival.

Peaceful base from which to tour the area.

This is our second stay at Apple Loft and as always can’t fault it .

There were scones cream and jam on arrival plus tea coffee sugar and milk in the fridge, what more could you ask for. The only small thing I would suggest is a grab handle in the shower as im not so steady on the old pins these days . Would recommend this property to anyone.

We have just stayed in Apple Loft which we really enjoyed.

The property is a period conversion, with lots of old world charm. It has all you would expect from a modern property but it's clearly a building with lots of history, with exposed wooden beams in most rooms. The lounge kitchen dinner has 2 two seater comfy leather sofas, smart TV with dvd player and a log burner which the owner kindly provides logs and kindling for, the kitchen has a electric cooker, microwave, toaster, and dishwasher. There's a laundry bar with shared use of a washing machine and dryer. The double master bedroom is accessed via a steep wooden staircase which before arrival we thought might be an issue but it wasn't at all. The bedroom is huge and very light and airy with 2 velux roof lights windows, a regular window overlooking the farm and a door the the back garden area. The twin room is accessed via stairway with approximately 5 steps the room has two single beds and a window overlooking the farm. The wooden beams in this room are quite low making this room better suited for children. The bathroom has a lovely freestanding bath and a shower cubicle, washing hand basin and WC. It also has a heated towel rail and fan heater. There is also a large entrance cloak area to store shoes and coats. Parking a right outside of the property. Thanks to Vicki and Chris for a lovely stay, all of the little extras supplied are really useful and much appreciated. Thanks for the scones, jam and clotted cream they were delicious, even having milk, tea, coffee and sugar on arrival was really thoughtful and very handy after a long journey. We really hope to stay again in the future. Best wishes for Lambing season. Mark, Sandra, Bruno and Angela X

Lovely holiday in a great location for us as a family of 4.

Well equipped, really clean and all that we needed. Kids loved being able to see the lambs and horses and us having the freedom to wander with the dog (on lead) Would recommend guests bring slippers if staying in colder months. Only downside was Master bed could do with a new mattress for a more comfortable and less noisy night.

The Apple Loft was in a perfect location - we were easily able to visit the north and south coasts - while enjoying the peace and quiet of the farm.

The accommodation had everything we needed - the log burner was a real treat - especially after the blustery walks along the south coast pathway. The owners were very kind and responsive, though there wasn't anything we needed that they hadn't thought of already - including a lovely cream tea on arrival!

Fantastic little cottage next to the farm house !

Had everything we wanted especially the cream tea and plentiful logs for the burner ! The girls enjoyed meeting the abundance of animals and I enjoyed the peace and quiet of the countryside . Easy trips to Fowey, Looe and Polperro , other trips longer drives in car but to be expected . I would definitely stay here again !

I’m a little late leaving feedback but really wanted to say our boy Jack had such a fantastic holiday at Apple Loft back in June, he still talks about Bisto, Lenny, Bill, Merlin and Toby.

Thank you for making us feel so welcome and showing us around the Farm. Apple Loft is a brilliant base for anybody wishing to Explore Cornwall.

Wonderful little cottage with lots of character.

Easy to reach beaches on north and south coast.

We had a wonderful time at Apple Loft.

The cottage was very comfortable and cosy and the owners were very thoughtful in offering us opportunities to get involved with the farm experience, feeding the horses, and our daughter had a ride one day. The cottage had everything we needed and gave an authentic experience of a rural retreat in a very beautiful part of Cornwall with Lostwithiel and Fowey nearby. We would definitely recommend. We were also able to see the Perseid meteor shower one evening, as the sky was so dark.

Fantastic stay, owners went above and beyond, excellent hospitality, definitely consider staying here again.

We had a lovely stay at the Apple loft.

It seems quite secluded at first, albeit in the beauty of the rolling countryside, but it’s so close to a number of attractions and interesting places to visit. So peaceful at night and comfortable too. The owners were friendly and very thoughtful, inviting our young son to have a ride on one of their small ponies which he loved. Some nice places to eat nearby, all a short drive away. If you enjoy history then it’s a great place to be. Braddock Down battlefield is literally a couple of minutes in the car and you traverse the site daily if using the A road into Lostwithiel, which itself is also an incredibly historic place. The seaside villages and towns dotted along the river Fowey and coast are all quite spectacular with rustic charm and beautiful scenery. All in all a great place to stay with everything you need for a nice break in this idyllic part of the world.

The property was first class and the owners very friendly and supplied us with lovely fresh scones,cream & jam and tea coffee sugar and milk on arrival.

Inside was very clean and presented nicely. Everything was in the cupboard’s that you needed really home from home . A lovely place to stay and would recommend to anyone. Many thanks for a lovely stay at Apple Loft ..

Vikcky and chris were wonderful.

Very helpful and so child friendly. They gave us a really nice tour in the farm . Loved Pisto the dog snd Lenny the cat.

What can we say.

. just returned from a week stay at the Apple Loft. What a wonderful week. Vicki and Chris where the perfect hosts. On arrival tea coffee sugar and milk were waiting alongside scones clotted cream and jam. Even a bag of treats for Monty our dog. And the wood burner stacked and ready to light. The location is perfect to visit local attractions, and beaches. And the Loft itself clean cosy and comfortable and extremely well equipped with everything you may need for a week away. Will definitely visit again and can't recommend the Apple Loft highly enough. Wish it had been a longer Stay.

There aren't enough words in the English vocabulary to express my love for this place, so uncharacteristically, I will aim to be brief.

Just to put into context - I stayed here on my own. Location: Rural, beautiful, spectacular, peaceful, horses, chickens, cats, dogs. A working farm and livery...you can choose to chat to the horse riders or just go about your own business. People: wonderful, helpful, kind. The owners and farm staff are amazing. A real warm atmosphere. Area: I used as a base and travelled out everyday to explore. In a nutshell - whether you are a lone traveller or a group - this is a perfect spot for relaxation, reflection if you want to keep yourself to yourself - however, if you want interaction, then all the people who use the livery are more than happy to chat and let you pet their horses (ask first of course) - the Apple Loft itself, is a beautiful authentic cottage with all the mod cons. You will want for nothing. I can't wait to go back and am planning my next visit already. Lastly, a big thank you to Vicki and Chris the amazing owners, Liz who helps out at the farm (we had such a laugh together) and of course, the beautiful Bisto (dog), Bill (cat) and all the horses who live there. xxxxxx (OK, so I struggle to be brief).

Lovely barn, lovely touch of fresh baked scones with jam and cream for arrival, the addition of milk, tea and coffee very nice, everything you need for a relaxing week, a welcome folder with all the information you will need, very helpful, beautiful surroundings and lovely farm.

We enjoyed our stay and loved the general atmosphere of the location, birds, farm animals and friendly pets.

Nice welcome from the owners who were respectable of our privacy. Lovely homemade biscuits left in the cookie jar. We found lots of cobwebs and dead spiders (time of year?). Beds very comfortable and clean. Very well equipped kitchen. We couldn’t get Netflix to work :( We noticed there were no (visible) fire / smoke alarms? And we had some concerns around getting out of the downstairs bedroom in the event of a fire.

Chris and Vicki made us very welcome and the cottage made a great base to explore many different things nearby.

I struggled with the height of ceilings in the cottage, though I am 6ft 3. I think Height is something Sykes should mention about properties in general. Lots of nooks and crannies made for a challenging place to "de-web", so a little difficult for an arachnophobe to be in. However, we slept well, had everything we needed in the kitchen, loved the peace and quiet and the good certainly outweighs the minor issues. I would recommend staying to anyone.

We had a lovely stay at Appleloft, Vicky and Chris were amazing hosts and we felt like part of the family.

Vicky took our 6 year old to feed the animals whenever he wanted, also on the last day they surprised our little boy with a pony ride, he was so excited. The property was just what we wanted, clean, comfortable and really quiet and relaxing. We were close to a lot of beaches and other lovely villages. If we go to North Cornwall again we will be booking Appleloft for sure

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Appleloft.

Vicky and Chris were great hosts. We arrived to the most delicious cream tea in the cosy cottage. The children were out every morning with Vicky feeding the horses and lambs and Vicky was great at answering their questions! Vicky also took both children pony riding.

Very pleasant stay with friendly couple and our first experience feeding lambs.

Vicky & Chris were kind and welcoming during our stay - despite being extremely busy with lambing!

Our children loved being able to help out on the farm with the lambs, horses and ponies; it was the highlight of an excellent week in Cornwall.

We had an incredible stay at The Appleloft!

! Such a cosy cottage and what a treat to be greeted with fresh scones, tea, coffee and milk. The cottage is equipped with everything you could ever think of needing but honestly it was the owners who made it for us, Chris and Vicki really did go above and beyond. They were so patient with our son, Vicki made sure to let him know the first lambs of the season had been born then showed him where they were so each day he would check, there were about 18 by the time we had to leave! Vicky even named an orphan lamb after him! We had free roam of the farm and the surrounding fields so our pooch was in her element. She even made friends with the furry residents, the farm cat and dog

Lovely location, rustic cottage, it was ideal as a base for our walking holiday.

We found the mattress a little soft but otherwise, it was great.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Appleloft.

The cottage was more than expected and the communication with Vicki before and during our stay was exceptional. Knowing we were able to wonder the farm and see the animals at any time was perfect for my two animal mad daughters (7&5) but what Vicki did for them exceeded all expectations-she allowed them to help feed the animals every morning. Every morning they were up and ready to meet Vicki and this time on the farm was definitely the highlight of their holiday. Thank you Vicki and Chris for a fantastic stay. We will be back!

Beautiful, relaxing, peaceful location in a lovely area.

We loved the cottage and all the animals and wildlife around the farm.

We loved staying at Apple Loft cottage.

It was a beautiful area, the people were friendly and the cottage proved to be a pleasant stay. Also, it was close enough to attractions such as the Eden Project, the Haligen Gardens, Fowey, Wadebridge and many other places we enjoyed.

The accommodation was great and a lovely location on a farm.

It was very quite and peaceful with a little garden to have breakfast or dinner. My eldest son went onto the farm and helped feed the animals and learnt how to ride a pony with the help of Liz on the farm who was lovely a credit to the farm. I would 100% book again five stars from us.

A wonderful setting and fantastic place to spend a week.

Perfect for the kids to explore the farm and local coast line.

We loved our stay on the farm… the cottage was so perfect for us and the welcome scones delicious.

The owners were so lovely and took my daughter fo feed lambs and chickens, collect eggs every day and to ride a pony ( once she had groomed it)…. What an amazing experience for a 4 year old London girl!! She loved it! Also a beautiful part of Cornwall that we had never explored… perfect mix of beautiful peaceful countryside but easy access to beach… we will definitely be back (I am sure my daughter will insist)

We had a lovely stay at the Apple Loft.

The location is so peaceful and quiet and the owners were lovely. The cottage was very comfortable and very well equipped. We would definitely stay there again.

What a fabulous cottage!

!! Perfect to get away from it all, and yet excellent WiFi for keeping up with connections. Excellent standard of bedding and towels, clean and cosy, firewood included as a bonus, and homemade scones, such a lovely touch. There is a little private garden, perfect for dogs and sitting in the sunshine when all you can hear are birds, see rabbits hopping by, and the cows mooing and horses neighing :) Hoping to stay again sometime as it really was. Special week and ticked ALL the boxes!!!

We had an amazing time on this farm, the cottage had everything we need and more!

The cottage is clean and cosy and has a working fireplace. The owners and people around the farm were super friendly and helpful. both my girls and wife loved being around the animals and helping feed the chickens. It was a good location for us as it’s easy access to version places and beach was 15-20 min away. It’s a place we will be returning to enjoy again.

Lovely, well equipped little place.

Comfortable. Nice beds. Very friendly owners. I would recommend a stay here.

Had a wonderful time, and the owners were wonderful with allowing our girls to help around the farm n and pony ride to.

Thank you

What a joy to find this lovely cottage deep in the country side .

A very cosy, well equipped cottage, spotlessly clean welcomed us on a damp Saturday afternoon. If it’s peace and tranquillity you want then this is the place to go! The owners were always in hand if you needed them . In a very troubled world this was definitely a place of solace. Situated well for visiting most of Cornwall.

Its the best holiday we have ever had.

Vicki and Chris and Liz were wonderful and let us all help on their farm. Toby aged 14 and Katie aged 12 absolutely loved the animals and gained so much confidence. The accommodation was beautiful and we didn't want to leave. We re-booked whilst we were there so we can see the lambs in the spring. We have told all our friends and family about our holiday and will be bringing some of them with us when we visit again.

Verry kind hosts.

The cottage was verry clean and tidy. A really nice place to stay our holygays.

Beautiful, peaceful farm.

Very friendly owners. Was clean and everything we needed. We loved it. Would go again. Only reminder is the 2nd bedroom Is best for young children rather than teenagers. It does say this in the details, so Not a complaint. Recommended.

Everything about our stay at apple loft exceeded our expectations.

Vicky sent an amazing email in advance about their changes during this covid crisis and we felt safe even before we got there. The accommodation was spotless and we were welcomed with scones and cream. Vicky was brilliant and so very helpful as was Liz who also works on the farm. It was the most peaceful and tranquil place away from the crowds but so close to everything in every direction. We vsisited beaches, Fowey aquarium and boat ride, Bodmin moor with the hurlers stones and golitha falls and caves, lots of walking and loads of fun. There were plenty of places to eat locally too as well as in the accommodation which was brilliantly equipped. Vicky was amazing with my children and allowed them to help out with the farm duties every morning, which they can't stop talking about to anyone who will listen. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough and will be returning next year for sure.

Holiday was great.

The problem was I couldn't get an answer when I rang you, the number given said it was the property owner, but was in fact yourselves. I messaged 3 times through Booking.com but no reply. In the end I rang Booking.com 3 days before my holiday started to find out where the keys would be and to confirm that there was indeed parking because the listing said there wasn't and I was sure parking was available when I booked the holiday.

Absolutely loved our time in the Apple Loft on Menaburle Farm, would definitely go back and have recommended it to everyone that will listen!

This is an old building situated on a working farm so bugs, single lane roads, farm smells and uneven flooring are all part of the package. Wasn't an issue for us but worth noting if any of those things are a big issue for you. There was cake, biscuits, tea, coffee and milk waiting for us when we arrived and all cleaning products were provided. The lodge itself is beautiful with comfy clean beds and a wood burner for the evenings. The owners are nothing short of phenomenal, taking our girls out to feed the animals and ride the ponies and they seemed genuinely offended when we asked them how much we owed them! They were really helpful with advice on the local area too. The lodge is about a 15 minute drive from the nearest village Lostwithiel, where there are pubs, shops, a co-op and chippy. The hours they serve food in the pubs vary so check ahead. It's also within 90 minutes of the whole of Cornwall, within 15 minutes of the major roads to pretty much everywhere. Dogs are welcome in the lodge and in most of the local pubs and the lodge has a fenced garden to keep the doggy safe. Cornwall overall is amazing for dog owners with even some big attractions allowing dogs in. I can't recommend the Apple Loft highly enough, if you have kids who love animals you just will not get a better place to stay! Very reasonably priced and

Apple loft is a lovely place for a relaxing holiday.

It’s so peaceful there and the surrounding area was very quiet (mid July so just before school holidays). The house is compact but very comfortable and well equipped. Perfect.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay.

We will be returning x

Very comfortable cottage plenty to do and see nearby.

Close to all areas of Cornwall. Friendly owners with great cream tea on arrival.

Apple Loft is a beautiful, secluded cottage on a working farm.

The peace and quiet only disturbed by the sounds on the sheep and cattle. The cottage is homely, with everything you need to make your stay a good one, with even home made biscuits on arrival. Unfortunately the owners were on holiday while we stayed, but a lady who works there was around and she was brilliant. Our son got to feed the lambs several times, as well as helping with the horses, ducks and chickens, memories which will stay with him forever. Would certainly recommend Apple Loft to anyone wanting to explore Cornwall.

This cottage was lovely and maintained to a very high standard.

The peace and quiet was lovely and it was very easy to access the farm by car. Very close to beautiful areas of Cornwall. Chris and Vicky the owners were friendly and helpful. Bisto the dog was a delight. Would absolutely recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to stay in this area.

A really enjoyable break in a beautiful, quiet, calm location.

The Apple Loft was just what we were looking for. It was comfortable with large bedrooms and lovely big bed. Nice touches included TVs upstairs and downstairs, a laundry room and helpful local advice from the owners. Recommended.

Fantastic holiday cottage connected to a farm house in a real working farm.

Excellent location, very quite at nigh. Plenty pf fields to walk the dog. Unable to fault the location. Owner very helpfully.

Lovely character building with all comforts taken care of.

Beautifully clean and well equipped . We had a very relaxing week. Log burner set ready to light and freshly baked scones with jam and cream greeted us upon arrival. Thank you

Wonderful experience for the children - being able to help feed and care for the animals was a special part of their holiday and will be a lasting memory.

Extremely friendly owners and farm staff.

Sykes were very good with communication and the booking was smoothly administrated.

We added a further two adults to the booking a few days before our arrival date and Sykes took care of the amendment very quickly and sent us a revised booking confirmation by email. The cottage was great and we had a wonderful time at the Apple Loft, its a lovely cottage well away from the hustle and bustle. The contained courtyard and small garden was a godsend for our excitable puppy who thoroughly enjoyed zooming around the garden at every opportunity. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. Having the woodburner in the evenings was a great addition. We would definitely visit again.

Apple loft was lovely.

The beds were really comfortable. A endless supply of wood for the log burner. Very nice owners. We had a lovely week

Great place.

We love staying there.
