Guests say
Apple Tree Cottage is a charming, characterful property in an excellent location close to West Wittering beach and local amenities. Guests consistently praise its cosy atmosphere, spacious rooms, well-equipped kitchen, and beautiful garden. The cottage’s historic quirks, such as steep stairs and low beams, add to its appeal, though may not suit everyone. Thoughtful touches like complimentary wine and biscuits are appreciated. Some guests note areas for improvement in cleanliness, furnishings, and maintenance, but overall, the cottage offers a delightful and memorable stay for families, couples, and dog owners alike.
Many guests found the cottage clean and welcoming, but several reviews mention issues such as dust, cobwebs, and the need for a deep clean. Some guests reported specific cleanliness concerns, including leftover glass and worn towels, while others described the property as spotlessly clean. The mixed feedback suggests cleanliness is generally acceptable but could be improved.
The location is highly praised, with guests loving the short walk to West Wittering beach, proximity to local shops, pubs, and attractions. The setting is described as ideal for exploring the area, making it a standout feature of the property.
Most guests found the cottage comfortable, enjoying the spacious rooms, cosy fire, and beds. However, some mentioned uncomfortable sofas or beds, and the steep stairs and low beams may be challenging for those with mobility issues. Overall, comfort is rated positively, with a few caveats.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, with a good kitchen, multiple bathrooms, and thoughtful amenities. Some guests noted maintenance issues such as an outdated TV, worn furnishings, and garden upkeep, but most found the facilities met their needs for a pleasant stay.
Guests frequently mention thoughtful touches such as complimentary wine and biscuits on arrival, as well as helpful communication from the owner. While these gestures are appreciated, please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

This is our sixth stay at the cottage and we have always loved it. The location is fantastic with nearby shops and lots of good pubs and restaurants and the cottage is well equipped with all that we need. Highly recommended.
