Family vacation
Appleby Magna is a lovely home situated in a lovely town. Paul always communicated with us quickly and timely. We had everything we needed and it was a perfect fit for our family of 6.

Lovely Accommodation
We used the gatehouse as a base when meeting up with family for the weekend. The accommodation was bright, living areas spacious and very clean. Host was easy to contact & helpful.

Lovely Cottage
Had a lovely stay here over new year. The cottage is lovely with everything you need for your stay. Unfortunately we couldn't do the walks we wanted due to the weather but still managed to get out and about. The pub next door is dog friendly and does lovely food.

Excellent cottage, just perfect.
We stayed at Paul and Hayley's cottage for quite a while waiting for our new house to be ready to move into.
Appleby Magna is such a great location, lovely pub next door (no it's not noisy!) and our hosts for the cottage couldn't do enough.
And with the Spire View Spa on the same grounds, also owned by Paul and Hayley, what more could you ask for!
A perfect stay, in a lovely cottage, in a pretty village with super hosts.

A gem in a lovely village
Delightfully decorated with excellent facilities. The towels were super soft as it brand ne. Kitchen amenities and the ability to have a secondary door to close off from bedrooms gave greater privacy. Lots of fab walks, historic location with some very old buildings. So much to do. Highly recommend and will return

Family get away
We had a great stay in this little village. So relaxing after staying a few days in London. It was fantastic having the Pub steps away.
