A welcome pack adds a thoughtful touch, and the property is recommended for its cleanliness and comfort.
Most guests found the accommodation clean and very comfortable. However, one review mentioned the kitchen was not very clean, with greasy oven and pans, and dirty crockery. This seems to be an isolated incident, as it is not a recurring theme in other reviews.
The location is frequently described as peaceful and ideal for exploring North Norfolk. Guests mention the proximity to attractions and the quiet country lanes suitable for cycling. The lack of a village shop or pub is noted, but it does not detract significantly from the positive location reviews.
Guests consistently praise the comfort of the accommodation, highlighting the comfy bed, spacious apartment, and luxurious touches. The presence of a woodburner and the property's tranquil setting contribute to the overall comfort.
The property is equipped to a high standard, with a well-stocked kitchen and welcome pack. However, a few guests missed having a microwave and one mentioned the need for an extra chopping board. The mention of steep stairs could be a consideration for some guests.
The provision of a welcome pack and initial logs for the fire is frequently mentioned, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

This was my 5th visit to the Applestore and I've already booked for later in the year. Always a comfortable stay with pleasant hosts. Ideally placed for the coast and city there's plenty to keep you occupied.
