History of Apsley Village:-
The construction of the trunk canal (later to be called the Grand Union Canal) between London and the Midlands through the valley in 1798 that began its industrial rise at the start of the 19th century. The canal gave an easy way of transporting the raw and manufactured products to and from the mills.

John Dickinson, the inventor of a new method of continuous papermaking, purchased an existing mill in the area in 1809. There is record of paper making already taking place nearby at this time. John Dickinson, the inventor of a new method of continuous papermaking, purchased an existing mill in the area in 1809. There is record of paper making already taking place nearby at this time. Streets of mill workers' terraced houses grew up adjacent to the mills. Housing for managers was built on the old Manor Farm, higher up the hill towards Felden, in the grounds of the Manor Estate, today known as Shendish Manor.

1938 – Apsley railway station was built with backing from John Dickinson Ltd as a way to bring more people to work at the Mills.

1853 – Charles Longman, heir to the publisher Longman's and partner to John Dickinson, bought the Shendish estate and built an impressive manor house.

St. Mary's Church (1871) stands above the modern Sainsbury's supermarket in Apsley. It was built to serve and inspire the workers of the paper mill that once occupied the supermarket site.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
Uncomfortable
The apartment was nice, but definitely not without its problems. The seating in the living room was most uncomfortable and the rooms were always cold. Asked once for heating, but never received an answer so we used the heater in the kitchen. The host was at times unbearable as she kept telling us what to do or not to do repeatedly as if we were children. Through our multiple exchanges, she also mentioned that she was a lawyer. We were charged an excessive amount for a simple fix to her heated towel rail bracket and wall which we are disputed, through Vrbo. A plastic anchor and a little drywall was pulled from the wall that would cost a few pounds at most to repair. You could tell that each site of the anchors were poorly repaired before. One of the primary reasons we picked this place was for a dryer as advertised. There was no dryer and by the way, spin dry in a washer is not a dryer. Location was great as we got to see the country side. All in all, we did not feel comfortable and felt constantly intimidated by the host. We have rented places through various agencies throughout the years around the world and have never had to write a negative review. All in all we did not feel comfortable staying in this place. We would not stay here again and definitely would not recommend it.

The property is very popular with local and overseas renters and is often booked out months ahead and throughout the year.
