Apple Tree Hotel

What a joy of a find. Quiet, peaceful, a home from home. As someone who spends a significant percentage of the year traveling, I get to stay in a wide range of establishments. It’s not often that I’ll write a review, but the Apple Tree Hotel deserves one. The freshly cooked to order evening meals are spot on, and a special even included a suet steak pudding; something I rarely see, and as a Londoner something that will always be a winner with me. I don’t normally do breakfast, here is the exception. The locally sourced sausages are fantastic, and they know how to do fried bread and perfect eggs too. Already booked my next visit and plan many more.

We were met by owners and hosts Simon and Gill. They are the warmest and friendliest hosts of any Hotel I have ever stayed at. The Hotel and grounds are lovely and its obvious they love what they do. The rooms were perfect and spotlessly clean, with everything you would need. Simon is the Chef and his cooking skills are second to none. We have fantastic homemade meals each evening and happily sat with him and his Wife and staff having a great chat afterwards. Simon has fantastic staff that work there (one called Emma, sorry didn't get the ladies name who served breakfast ) but they were both a credit to Simon and Gill. An amazing place to stop and would definitely recommend to anybody. Will certainly go back and take my Wife for a visit.

Everything was perfect.

Clean, tidy and attention to detail. A personal approach from management/reception but not intrusive. Attentive and efficient table staff at breakfast and evening meal, which is often lacking in the bigger chain hotels. The food was also lovely - freshly prepared and very tasty with a balanced menu and daily specials board. Room was very clean and bed comfy. Set in lovely grounds.

Nothing of note.

The breakfast and evening meals were very good. The evening meal menu was limited ,however the food was well cooked and prepared. The host, hostess and staff were excellent being both friendly and attentive.

The bathroom was a little dated but still sparkling clean and the hotel location a little isolated . Ideal for a short stay or an overnight stopover.

Easy location off main road from Minehead. Lots of parking and open aspect with extensive lawns. Very friendly staff. Double room had very nice open views from 2 windows. Dinner had a wide choice and good breakfast, both served in a sunny conservatory dining room. Good value considering room, food and service. Good stop-over on the way from Devon to the Midlands

All good

The breakfast was excellent as was the food at Dinner. A wide range of freshly cooked dishes were available with different specials each evening. The accommodation was good- very comfortable. Nice spacious room. The Hotel is set in a lovely grounds in the countryside. It is close to Steart Marshes, the Quantocks, Dunster and the coast- so plenty of places to visit. The host Simon and his wife Gillian were very welcoming.and friendly as were the rest of the staff.

Nothing

The owner was very nice and even offered to transport us to the wedding destination we were going to. The room was cosy and had everything you needed. The breakfast was lovely I would say that most of the cooked breakfast was locally sourced, really great friendly service and quick .would definitely recommend a stay here.

Just to be really picky because to be honest nothing yo dislike. The keyring for the room key is too big and bulky.

Quiet rural location with easy access to local towns. An extremely pleasant stay with probably the most hospitable, sociable and accomodating team made my stay comfortable. An exceptional breakfast and equally delicious evening meals. Room was comfortable and fully furbished. Will visit again and recommend highly.

Would prefer a more powerful shower - a personal choice. Would prefer a craft ale or two - a personal choice.

Convenient location for visiting both the Quantock Hiills and the local coast (Steart Marshes and Point - good for birds and butterflies). Excellent food cooked by our host, friendly staff, spacious parking area and overall and an enjoyable stay.

Location was ideal for our work requirements Simon and the staff were all really friendly and helpful Food was all freshly cooked and very tasty, both the evening meal and breakfast Overall a very good stay and good value

The water pressure for a shower in the morning was a bit low
