The Apple Loft is part of old stone buildings that form the farm's courtyard and has been converted to retain many of its features. It has original stone work, exposed timbers and double doors through which apples were once loaded. Open these doors on a balmy summer's evening, watch the swallows and bats performing their acrobatics across the yard and enjoy the view down into the Tamar Valley.

Situated in the beautiful Tamar Valley, in the sleepy village of Latchley just two miles from Gunnislake, the Apple loft provides light and spacious accommodation for two people (and a baby or toddler). Park your car in the farmyard and walk up a few wide granite steps to the path that leads to the Apple Loft's front door.

Step down into a hallway with storage space for coats and muddy boots and walk through to the large airy living space with well equipped kitchen area.

Full central hearing and a wood burning stove ensure comforting warmth in autumn, winter or early spring. (Ample supplies of kindling and logs free of charge) Attractive surroundings, period pine furniture and a comfy sofa provide everything you want for a relaxing week away from the hassles of modern life. The Apple Loft is equipped with dining table and chairs, colour television, DVD player digi-box and radio. There are books, maps and local information as well as a few games and toys for young children. The kitchen has a gas cooker, microwave, Belfast sink and fridge.
