What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 1,572 guest reviews
Apple Farm Inn wins consistent praise for its quaint country-cottage charm, well-maintained grounds, warm staff, and thoughtful complimentary touches like evening wine tastings, cookies, and apple cider. However, a recurring thread of practical gripes — unreliable Wi-Fi, no dinner service, rooms that some find small for the price, and noise bleed between rooms — tempers the experience for value-focused or connectivity-dependent guests. Overall sentiment across these reviews is strongly positive, with most guests eager to return.
