For a tranquil afternoon, visit Ellesmere and wander the mere-side gardens or take a boat out onto the water. For outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding hills and trails are perfect for walking, cycling, and wildlife watching. The owners have been welcoming guests for years. Applewood is more than just a place to stay – it’s an experience crafted with care and attention to detail.
