Apple Tree Cottage

About

Apple Tree Cottage sits peacefully on the edge of woodland, just a short ten minute drive from Salisbury. With two bedrooms, the thatched cottage is spacious enough to appeal to a family of four, yet it retains a cosy, homely feel that also appeals to couples. The building is hundreds of years old and with its thatched roof and rambling roses growing around the door, the property is a country cottage fantasy brought to life.

Just a few minutes walk from the cottage and you are in Bentley Wood: 1,500 acres of woodland that together with the adjacent Blackmoor Copse forms one of the largest contiguous areas of woodland in Wiltshire.  It has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) as it is an important haunt for many species of butterfly. It is particularly beautiful in April and May when bluebells carpet the ground. 

Apple Tree Cottage is in the Wiltshire village of East Grimstead, around six miles (8 kilometres) from the beautiful cathedral city of Salisbury with plenty of shops to browse and places for a meal out. You are also close to the ancient sites of Stonehenge, Woodhenge, Avebury, and near to impressive National Trust properties like Mompesson House and Mottisfont.

There is no shortage of ideas for fun days out because within an hour of Apple Tree Cottage you can be in the New Forest with miles of tracks and trails to explore, picturesque villages and attractions including Beaulieu Motor Museum; Winchester; Portsmouth with its historic dockyard; Longleat for a safari adventure and Paultons Park, home of Peppa Pig World!
