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.

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. Bedrooms surprisingly spacious with good hanging space. Clear and regular contact withe delightful hosts made for an enjoyable stay

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.

Lovely spot

The house is in a really beautiful spot with a great view from the garden and had everything we needed. The hosts were friendly, responsive and helpful. The only reasons for not giving five stars are that as a taller person the double bed is quite short. Also due to its former use as an apple store there isn't much natural light that comes into the house at all. The surroundings are stunning though and it's an excellent base to explore the Wye Valley with great walks from the doorstep. We had an enjoyable week!

Lovely peaceful place

This was a very clean, cosy, well furnished cottage (previously an apple store) in the midst of glorious countryside. It has its own private garden looking out over meadows and woodland. The kitchen was very well-equipped indeed and the only thing I could have wanted were extra tea towels as I’m a very old fashioned washer upper! I know Sarah (who was most friendly and welcoming) would have provided some more if I’d thought to ask.I would unhesitatingly recommend this lovely place, with its two gentle resident sheep (in the paddock that is!). It’s ideal for someone on their own, or for a family, and if you like walking there seem to be an infinite number of nature reserves, bridle paths and footpaths abounding all around.

A Wonderful Country Retreat

The Apple Store was exactly as described and we are likely to return.A beautiful rental with some interesting and quirky features that I appreciated, such as the old school desk. I also appreciated things like the books and DVDs.The bedding is to die for, just stunning. Very comfortable outdoor seating, which probably needs a photo update so that people can see what they'll be reclining in when taking in the outstanding views.The owner is friendly, helpful and accommodating and the accommodation was immaculate.

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!
