About this property
Approached by quiet, rural country roads in a peaceful and tranquil setting, and then accessed via a long driveway, sits this contemporary bungalow within several acres of the owner’s land. The Apple Shed can be found nestled on the outskirts of Wisbech, and provides a lovely base for families and friends to come together and enjoy this serene location. Step into the entrance hall where you can leave your boots and jackets before continuing into the open-plan living area. This room will become the social hub of the property, beautifully presented with neutral tones and plenty of natural lighting, it is a modern space for cooking and socialising in the evening. Gather at the dining table to enjoy a lovingly-prepared home-cooked meal, or take the evening outside and enjoy the scenic countryside, sipping on a glass of wine and toasting to a long-awaited getaway. As you look to rest, there are three neatly presented bedrooms to choose from, including two king-size rooms with en-suite wetrooms, and a twin with zip/link beds (can be a super-king-size on request) with an en-suite shower. Each of the bedrooms feature a neutral colour scheme and wardrobe space for your personal belongings. A couple of minutes walk cross the fields lies Mile Tree Brewery, which welcomes guests for drinks and meals. The property enjoys a great location – just a mile away lies the town centre of Wisbech, so you can wander in for a day exploring the town, before walking along the River Nene and stopping off at a local café for a sweet treat, or continue to explore the trails around Wisbech Park, which extends over 12 acres and boasts an adventure playground. Elsewhere in the town you will find the independent Luxe Cinema where you can catch a film, as well as the Wisbech & Fenland Museum, ideal for those history buffs. If exploration takes you further afield, you have King’s Lynn, Peterborough and Cambridge within driving distance, making The Apple Shed a fantastic choice for a getaway any time of year.
Wisbech is a market town in Cambridgeshire's extreme north-east, bordering Norfolk and slightly under 20 miles from the coast. This town was awarded the Gold Award in the big town category in the RHS Anglia in Bloom competition in 2019. It has a bustling high street with shops, restaurants, and pubs, as well as a scattering of independent local businesses. On a gloomy afternoon, visit Luxe Theater, an independent cinema with traditional plush seats, or tour Peckover House and Garden, a majestic Georgian townhouse turned museum located inside a lush 2-acre garden overlooking the River Nene. On a beautiful day, walk about Wisbech Park and have a picnic for lunch, or travel out to nearby King's Lynn, a historic maritime town, for a fun day out. Wisbech is a lovely destination to spend your vacation.

Very comfortable and clean. Not that easy to find and some small issues ( one of the TV controls didnât work and the water dispenser in the fridge leaked) but a quiet location which suited us. The nearby Potting Shed is excellent for breakfast.

The owner was friendly and although living next door, did not intrude. The property was light and airy, spacious, and perfect for family or a group of friends. Very relaxing and would definitely go again. Areas for improvement: 1) The property is listed as dog friendly but the garden is not fully enclosed and there was also a chicken roaming around. We suggest putting chicken wire/deer wire around the garden so dogs can be free in the garden. In specifically choosing a dog friendly place, we had hoped the dog could play freely outside. One saving grace was finding a private dog walking field (called Go Mutts) 12 mins drive away which we paid to use and let our dog be free (£10 per hour for exclusive use). The chicken was also a bit of torture for our dog as she watched it through the window. 2) There is no signage from the lane for the property. We suggest putting up a small sign so it can be found more easily. The booking form said to call the owner once we were near; however, we couldnât get through. We ended up finding the property by mistake.

Plenty of room for 6 people and two big dogs, but still feeling cozy. Beds were perfect, had a very comfortable and peaceful night's sleep. Very clean and had everything we needed. Dogs and children loved the garden plenty of room for them to run around and have fun safely. Hot tub was amazing and a very nice touch, loved spending our evenings in there. We saw Jim the owner onces, other then that the owners leave you to it and aren't obstructive in anyway.
