Lovely, welcoming hosts and on hand for any advice. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Plenty of space for a family of 4. Ideal for local walks with peaceful and relaxing scenery. Short drive to nearby towns with many restaurants, pubs etc. Our kids adored Taylor - the friendliest sheep we’ve ever met!

Cosy, quiet and clean. What's not to like about a short stay at the Apple Store. Throw in semi tame sheep who like their ears beings stroked and a sun trap even in November and you have the perfect get away for a weekend in the countryside. We will be back.

Great to be welcomed by our host and shown through the property. Also enjoyed the welcome by the sheep. Very happy staying at the Apple Store. Able to relax in the quiet surroundings. Amenities were excellent. Thankful that the manual for the washing machine was available. Also having a clothes airer made getting our clothes dry. Would recommend this property highly.

Our party of 3 adults stayed for 10 nights. The property was very clean, had modern appliances which all worked well and plenty of information on local attractions, walks, restaurants etc. It had a very nice garden area for sitting out in this peaceful location which was near to local towns and walking areas. We had a great time there.

An excellent two storey cottage, rather larger than pictures suggest. Very clean, well presented and comfortable in a beautiful location. The kitchen was well equipped with thoughtful touches that made self-catering very easy. Attractive garden with outside seating and lovely views.

The Apple Store is in a beautiful location. Some good things about this cottage include the cosy sitting room with comfortable seating. It is also warm and clean, tastefully furnished with some lovely touches. Main bedroom was comfortable. Light comes in through skylight, which has a blackout blind, and a low window, which needs heavier curtains to keep out light. The kitchen, whilst well equipped, was not a room where you wanted to sit for long due to the fact that it was dark. A lancet window let light in, but this was the only natural light. The only other window was opaque and opened onto dark woodshed. There is no view from kitchen unless you peer through the lancet window. The second bedroom was directly above the kitchen and so had the same windows and lack of light. The lancet window here was up high and so no view was possible. We climbed on a chair to place pillows in this window to block the morning light. We felt that the information about the cottage should have mentioned the restricted views and the lack of natural light in both kitchen and second bedroom. It was pleasant to sit outside and have breakfast. Very private. It was lovely to see and hear flock of sheep enjoying the pasture and a delight to hear the birdsong.The Apple Store was perfectly situated for walks in the local woodland. and nature reserve and it was close to some ancient caves. We were fortunate to be there in the bluebell season. Stunning.

We and our Red Setter had really three wonderful weeks in The Apple Store. Thanks for that. Everything you need is in place and we enjoyed walking in The Doward and down to the Wye river. We only can highly recommend The Apple Store. There are some many aweful place around to visit and most impressive the west coast of Wales, the Black Mountains and for sure Bristol ...

Peaceful family get away

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night break. The cottage is one of the nicest we've stayed in, really well equipped and with some lovely, thought-out homely touches e.g. lovely reed difusers, Helpful laundry basket and sweet key hooks. Would definitely visit gin!
