About Apple Tree Cottage

Apple Tree Cottage sits peacefully on the edge of woodland just a short drive from Salisbury. With two bedrooms, this pretty thatched cottage is perfect for a couple but also spacious enough to appeal to a family of three or four. From the original handmade bricks that have stood in place for 500 years, to the sloping thatched roof and rambling roses growing around the gate, the property is a country cottage fantasy brought to life.

Walk out of the front door and within minutes you are in Bentley Wood, a 1400 acres bluebell woods that has been designated an SSSI due to the species of butterfly that flourish there. There is no nicer way to start the day than with a tranquil wander through the woods in the company of hares and roe deer.

Apple Tree Cottage is in the small Wiltshire village of East Grimstead, around six miles (eight kilometres) from medieval Salisbury with its stunning cathedral and great choice of shops to browse and places for a meal out. You are also close to Stonehenge, Woodhenge, Avebury, Old Sarum and Mottisfont (a National Trust property).

There is no shortage of option for day trips because within twenty minutes drive of Apple Tree Cottage you can be in the New Forest with miles of tracks and trails to explore. Also close by are attractions including Beaulieu Motor Museum; Winchester; Portsmouth with its historic dockyard; Longleat for a safari adventure and Paultons Park/Peppa Pig World (sure to be a hit with the younger ones). Bournemouth and other beautiful Dorset beaches are about an hour away.

Location (Wiltshire)

Apple Tree Cottage has been sympathetically modernised to provide extremely comfortable accommodation for a couple or small family of up to four without losing any of its original warmth and charm.

Compact (and comfy) in terms of size but big in terms of character, accommodation comprises:

  • Combined sitting/dining room with both relaxed seating and dining table and chairs for four.
  • Smart TV and DVD player.
  • Family-friendly board games.
  • A choice of novels, guidebooks and maps of the area.
  • Fitted country-style kitchen with butler’s sink, fridge, oven and hob, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. The kitchen also has plates, crockery, cutlery, good-standard of cooking equipment, some non-perishable ingredients and cleaning items.
  • Family bathroom with shower-over-bath, WC and wash basin.

Upstairs are two cosy bedrooms under the eaves:

  • A lovely double bedroom decorated in restful colours with television.
  • A twin bedroom with two single beds and a snug atmosphere
  • All the beds have 100% cotten bed linen and guests are supplied with towels. Both rooms have radiators as part of the property's central heating.

Outside: There is an enclosed garden with patio and garden furniture, and private parking for two cars.

Additional Information: There are low beams throughout the property so anyone over 6ft tall will bang their head at some point! WiFi is available but mobile phone reception can be patchy. There is a full-oil central heating system. A travel cot and high chair are available on request. One dog (or two small) allowed by arrangement (£20 extra charge). Non smoking. Short breaks are available. The cottage is in the grounds of the owner's house; they live next door and are available to help with advice or directions to local attractions. There is no shop in the village but both Tesco and Waitrose have branches in Salisbury and deliver. The Hook & Glove in Farley and the Silver Plough in Pitton are the nearest pubs. The owners also provide a welcome pack with tea, coffee, milk and a sweet treat upon arrival.
