Visited on 1st July and really enjoyed our stay. The staff were amazing they really went out if their way to make sure that we enjoyed our stay. There was... read more a notice that there was a shortage of staff but the manager did the work of ten and kept the show on the road and I hope that he gets paid accordingly. We had a lovely evening meal and breakfast and the room was of good standard and spacious. We took our black lab who was well looked after. We would not hesitate to book Apple inn again

A fairly last minute booking and surprised to get in anywhere to be honest. We ended up having a great evening at the Apple Inn.
Staff looked after us... read more very well - chatty and attentive.
Everything was reasonably priced when compared to the elevated prices seen in many restaurants in the area. Drinks good value too a pint of Landlord for £4 in an area catering for tourism is really good value.
We all enjoyed our food, cheese soufflés and mussels for starters all went down very well, and the fish and chips were the best we’ve had in a long time. Big thick flaky cod with an excellent batter.
Good atmosphere too.
All in all an excellent evening and 2 really tasty courses plus a couple of drinks each for around £35 a head is good value these days!
Highly recommended.

We had dinner here last night after visiting last year when the food was OK.
It was really a catalogue of errors from the start. We ordered a bottle of... read more wine and were presented with the bottle (warm white wine) and two glasses of vastly different sizes. We asked for 2 the same size and they were delivered. The wine was like sucking on a lemon and not like Grillo wine as we know it. I proceeded to order a glass of Chardonnay and it came at room temperature in a dirty glass. Thank fully I had the other glass to pour the warm wine in too!!
Food was ordered and I ordered the twice baked soufflé with Tomatoes and herb oil followed by the butternut rogan josh. The starter was devoid of both tomatoes and oil without any explanation but was edible.
The main course was just gross. It was simply boiled to death butternut squash in a teaspoon of some sort of sauce - no indian flavour and very bland. Please see photos below of what I received and what it should look like!
My husband said his dinner was OK - just, so we basically spent £75 so I could watch him eat!
We were not charged for my food but its really not the point - our evening was ruined by the fact I had a starter to eat.....
We won't be going back a third time..

Called in by chance on passing. What a hidden gem. Well presented, tidy, comfortable and pleasantly greeted by Megan (Front of House) who could not have been friendlier..a good asset.... read more Food freshly cooked and presented. All staff friendly and attentive. Definitely a revisit planned.
