The welcome drink was great after a long day traveling. Dinner was outstanding, and when it came to bed time I slept like a log on a superbly comfortable bed. The rooms have ensuites and pets seem to be welcome. Terrific company. Many thanks for a fabulous week. More

Having arrived around 16.00 i was greeted at the gate by Malcom who helped me park my motorcycle then offered me a drink before showing me to my room. having changed i walked around the loverly ground and was severed coffee in the outdoor covered BBQ area. My twin room (the green room) was clean and tidy and very welcoming.... More

We drove from Calais to Appletons, which was a horrendous seven hour journey, although we did have regular stops to stretch our legs and toilet our dog. On arrival the sign for Appletons was partially hidden, so we asked a chap in a garden if this was the place "Yes" he said then waited.....as my husband & I looked at... More

We visited Appletons farnhouse on the way to the Lot region. It was easy to find, and not far off the main autoroute south. Malcolm and Edward made us very welcome, and the welcome drinks were a lovely touch. We had the wine cellar room which was well furnished, spotlessly clean and cosy. We enjoyed having drinks in the garden... More

We visited Appleton's en route from Caen to the Corbieres on our family holiday and on the way home. On both occasions we could not have received a warmer welcome. Edward and Malcolm regard their evening meals as a social event and like their guests to participate. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves chatting to families from Belgium, France, Australia as well...

Very pleasant stay and would definately return if I needed accomodation in the area. We were made to feel most welcome by Malcolm and Edward. The evening meal was very good qualtity and good value for money and no-one left the table hungry. Overall I cannot fault the experience. More

Our second visit to Appletons was very much like the first a year before. Welcomed like old friends, a drink in my hand before I had reached my room. Amiable hosts. Superb food, plenty of rather good wine, the fun of sitting down to dinner in the beautiful garden with eight other guests... exactly what an overnight stop should be.... More

We stayed here for one night at the beginning of June on our way to Spain. We had a good welcome and it felt like we were with old friends. Nice meal and plenty of wine. Edward and Malcolm were good hosts. Breakfast was just right for us too. We hope to go back when we travel to Spain again. More

A convenient place to stay if you are travelling South and want to spend a night. Dinner in the garden with all the other guests plus Malcolm and Edward was good with plenty of wine. Malcolm works hard in the garden and even though there had been a severe lack of rain, there were home grown vegetables. More
