About this house rental

The Apple Press is a grade II listed 18th century barn conversion offering spacious, cosy and comfortable self - catering accommodation. Situated just three miles from the county town of Taunton in Somerset, Sweethay is a small farming hamlet in a secluded setting.

The space:
Kitchen: The Apple Press has a generously sized well equipped kitchen with plenty of crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, work surfaces and cupboard space. The dining area has seating for six around a large wide table - ideal for family meals and evening board games of which we have a selection.

Sitting room: The sizable vaulted sitting room has comfy sofas and armchairs with a log burner - perfect for unwinding in the evenings after a day of exploration and adventure.

Ground floor bedroom: Adjacent to the sitting room is a light and spacious ground floor bedroom with a wall of windows looking into the guests own private courtyard with a door to the outside. Both courtyards are accessible from this room. The bedroom has a zip - and - link king sized bed which can be separated to form two singles. There is an en-suite shower and WC.

Upstairs: Reading corner with comfy arm chair on the 1st floor landing

The twin room: has two full sized beds with bedside tables, wardrobe and chest of drawers. Part of a scisor truss runs through this room.

Double bedroom: The 1st floor double has a King sized bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and plenty of space for a travel cot.

The 1st floor bathroom has a full size bath, WC and sink and ladder towel heater.

The original slate floor in the hallway and small bootroom is practical and appropriate for muddy, sandy dogs and footwear

Outside: there are two courtyards for our guests own use. The smaller secluded courtyard has a barbeque, comfortable seating, a canopied swing seat/bed and a five person hot tub/spa. Benefiting as it does from the early afternoon through to the evening sun it is a perfect spot to take time out, have a drink and plan the next day's excursion.

The larger courtyard has a table tennis table, a canopied swing seat/bed and table with seating for six. A suntrap where you can play table tennis or just sit around the table eating and chatting while enjoying the sunshine. Little chance of burning as on request a sun sail can provide shade for those relaxing at the table.

Guest access:
Guests have full exclusive use of the Apple Press and its amenities during their stay. There are two parking spaces to the front of the property. At the rear of The Apple Press are two fully enclosed courtyards. The larger has an outdoor table tennis table, canopied swingseat/bed and large outdoor table with seating for six. Linking to this is the guest's more private courtyard with casual seating, a barbecue, a further canopied swing seat/bed and a daily serviced five person hot tub/spa. This courtyard benefits from the afternoon and evening sun.

The Apple Press couldn’t be more perfect as a place to unwind, from the location to the facilities we honestly couldn’t have asked for more. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and a great space for socialising, eating meals together & playing board games, the space feels so warm and welcoming. The lounge was great in the evenings or when we needed to hide from the rain, a log burner is always a bonus. The outside space is great and the hot tub was a great way to warm up after a rain shower walk into the village. Would highly recommend and will definitely be looking to book again.

Property is large and has spacious bedrooms, kitchen and living areas. The two outside areas are perfect for what we wanted - didn’t use the hot tub (although I imagine it’s great) but did play table tennis and used the BBQ. Beds very comfortable for us and although there is one shower in the en suite my 2 prefer baths anyway so we didn’t have any issues with logistics like some have. Sarah the host was lovely and very helpful - only about when we had a question. We’d definitely stay again.

We had a great time at this lovely cottage. It was spacious and in very good order with a lovely courtyard ( or two ) complete with hot tub! Great location nestled into a small hamlet surrounded by stunning Somerset countryside. The owner was very discreet but absolutely brilliant. We will certainly go back.

We were 4 old friends all going through hard times that managed to reunite for a weekend of fun, rest and food - and the Apple Press did not disappoint! The finish on the whole property was stunning - so well equipped and lots of personal touches to make it extra special. The hot tub was lovely. Would definitely recommend!

My 4 daughters and I had a really enjoyable and relaxing stay in this beautiful property. Our host Sarah couldn’t have been more helpful, from our initial booking until check out time. The Apple press has everything that you could possibly need and much more. I would highly recommend and would definitely visit again.

We booked the Apple Press for a weekend to celebrate my birthday - the place has such a calm presence and was perfect for a group of 50 year olds to relax and totally switch off. Sarah was so incredibly helpful and real delight - we will definitely be back

Nice cottage but could be fantastic with a few updates and tweaks. Most Doors not fitting well. Sliding door in small bedroom not fitted correctly so bangs if window open. Everyone has to use downstairs bathroom to shower. Shower door has no inside handle. Kitchen fronts cupboards dirty. Spiders everywhere with giant cobwebs. All floors not very clean , dusty and under beds and behind furniture not been cleaned In a while. Had no communication with host at all during visit despite reading reviews in property how welcoming host is and delighted by assumed homemade cakes, we had tub of mini rolls. No recycling facilities despite a leaflet on where bags/boxes located etc... However, despite all the above, cottage bedding and bathrooms were very clean and hot tub was fab . Great facilities and loads of games and entertainment.

4 of us stayed, for a long weekend of relaxing and we certainly did that (with aid of the hot tub). The house was warm, clean and extremely comfortable. Everything we needed was there and the cake welcoming us, was just perfect thank you. Sarah was on hand with anything (if we needed it), but because everything was perfect, we didn't need Sarah's assistance. Thank you for letting us stay, in your lovely home. The break was needed, more than you realise.

We were a party of 4 friends and stayed for a long weekend last week. When we arrived we were delighted with The Apple Press, so pretty and in a lovely location. Everything about the property is beautiful, lovely kitchen, charming interior, such comfortable beds and so spacious. There is nothing you could think of which could be added, Sarah, the owner, has thought of everything. Sarah is a lovely lady, who lives across the courtyard and made sure everything was perfect at all times. We made full use of the lovely hot tub every day. I would recommend this property to anyone wishing to explore this beautiful part of Somerset. Fabulous, thank you Sarah.

The cottage is much bigger than expected. It was bright, clean and comfortable. Sarah was a lovely host and was easily contactable if needed. We went as a family of 5 adults and had all that we needed. A home from home and would definitely return.

Had a great weeks stay at The Apple Press cottage with our friends. We were very lucky with the weather so able to take advantage of the great outside spaces and of course the Hot tub!! Our host Sarah was amazing and very friendly and gave us some great eating out suggestions, especially the amazing takeaway Indian. We also arrived to find a lovely cake and milk. We would definitely stay again.
