Although you may want to stay at Appleton House with groups of friends, it is very much geared to families with a bunk room and a ‘Princess’ bedroom.

The entertainment spaces inside and out are outstanding, perfect for celebrations and group get togethers.
The front door of Appleton House opens onto a very spacious entrance hall with direct access to decking facing south over the gorgeous and tranquil Swillbrook Lake. The ground and first floors are home to an impeccable master bedroom, two charming double bedrooms, one twin, one bunk room and a single room with a truckle bed. Most of the bedrooms open up onto wonderful decked terraces where you can admire the stunning scenery and lounge on deluxe furnishings. The exquisite master bedroom suite and the sumptuous twin room share a terrace decked with loungers and a lovely rattan hanging nest chair, just the perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee or a read of your holiday book. Both of these rooms also boast immaculate en-suite bathrooms with showers over the bath. The master also offers an iPod dock so that you can listen to your favourite soundtracks. There are a further two double bedrooms, each with immaculate interior design. The soft hues of the walls are brightened with gorgeous bright colour pops from the modern art and luxurious soft furnishings. The bunk bedroom is a child’s dream and probably the scene of late night excited chatter. Then there is the ‘Princess’ room with its dreamy four poster bed with a pull out truckle underneath subject to request. This room really is just suitable for children as the bed is slightly narrower than a standard single. As well as the two en-suites, there are two extremely well-appointed family bathrooms. Even these have enchanting decoration.
