4.2 out of 5Excellent hospitality
September 17, 2012
Our stay with Malcolm and Edward exceeded expectations. We were made very welcome, including our dog Sashi, and were sorry that we only had one night available on our journey in which to enjoy their wonderful hospitality. Dinner was excellent and the wine flowed. This is a definite for a return visit. Sian, Michael and Sashi

The story - I send my husband to france with the contact details of Appleton to arrange a stay on a very long journey back from Monleon (midi-pyrenees) to the UK with my father and our german shepard. As normal the boys ingnored a perfectly reasonable instruction to call and arrange before they left, instead on the journey a few miles out they called asking if they could be accomodated. You picked up the phone and made thier day by saying yes more than welciome come on over, how accomodating at such "very" short notice. They were welcomed by friendly faces and a very freindly atmosphere, along with a lovely bottle of red and the company flowed through the evening, whilst I was texting to see if they were still alive!! You accomodated our dear old german shephard so no uncomforatable stay in the car for her either, what a wonder that there are such places for us dog lovers. Breakfast - apparantly better than mine! not sure that I would agree with that, but tasty all the same. thank you to you both for looking after my two weary travellers, if we do the trip again we would certainly call to see if you are still there. Have a great 2012 - Rob / John - the wife!! (tara) :):)

The warmest welcome you will receive anywhere in France. It turns the stopover - we stayed en route to Corbieres and on the way back to Caen - a delight rather than a chore. Edward and Malcom have created a haven of hospitality. David and Hilary

My husband & I plus my daughter and her husband stayed at Appleton's for one evening on 24th June 2011 and had a wonderful relaxed evening. The weather was fantastic which meant we could eat outside. Edward and Malcolm were generous hosts and Edward's cooking was fantastic. After a very long journey it was a real haven in which to relax and enjoy good company. We would definitely return.

4.6 out of 5A delightful evening
November 06, 2010
On September 21st this year we spent the late afternoon and evening at Appleton's Farmhouse B&B We had a delightful and welcoming host, met several interesting and charming people who either worked or were visitng there, enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at a table resounding with wonderful dinner conversation (we ate too much and even though the bed was most comfortable we had a hard time sleeping after the feast!)Our breakfast was equally fabulous and we had no trouble enjoying the host's cooking skills once again! The fine conversations also made us linger despite needing to get underway for the next leg of our tour...all in all, a very fine experience and we would do it again in a heart beat. Many thanks for a memorable time!

I stayed at Appletons Farmhouse last week (October 21st 2010) for one night to break up my journey from Manchester to Barcelona travelling by road. The service I received was fantastic, the food was excellent and the hospitality was second to none. The area in which the guesthouse is situated is beautiful with open fields and farm land as far as the eye can see. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

4.8 out of 5serendipity
September 01, 2010
Black saturday for the northbound travellers. Weary travellers have filled the hotels around Argenton off the E9 motorway. We, a couple of 48 and 50 years old, are south bound looking for a house in France. We hope not to spend the night in the car. We are greeted with some reluctance by a jolly farmer type with a titanium leg and a friendly labrador, Leo, at his remaining foot. After some negotiations: "we don't take people from the street". "OK, then I'll introduce you to my wife". We are allowed to come back after dinner (which was in full fling for the present guests. Good to know you come first when you stay there, and not some passing trade that may deliver another couple of euro's). We are offered a room next to the cellar(visons of sleeping in a damp place on a matrass on the floor). At this point they could have offered us a place in the hayloft. We didn't ask how much it would cost (a very reasonable 65 euro including a good breakfast) or whether there was a en-suite (which there was). We arrived a bit later than expected, but were still greeted with the offer to mingle with the other guests and enjoy a glass of wine, or any other beverage we liked. The room was very clean, the bed comfortable (and cute: wood and brocade head- and footboard), light duvet, bedside lights for reading and mosquito (and other bugs) netting in the windows, so you could leave them open at night (silence!). Plenty of room to leave all your stuff. Nothing like a cellar in any which way or form. In the morning take a wander around the grounds and admire the planting, the trees, the vegetable garden and maybe take a dip in the plunge pool. We were lucky enough to be able to stay another night and taste Edward's cooking. You just can't complain. Varied, tasteful and well balanced (those beans needed a little more blanching before the garlic stir fry, Edward, otherwise I would have given you the extra orange ball!). Go there, make a reservation in advance, be happy.
