We thoroughly enjoyed the location of the delightful accommodation. With perfect autumn weather the forest walk to the caves and river was relaxing and interesting. Our host Sarah was extremely helpful.
We loved The Apple Store, it was so cozy and warm and has everything you needed. The owners had put up xmas lights which was a nice touch, too. We spent a few nights including NYE and had a fantastic time. The owners were super organised and sent really clear instructions on how to get to The Apple Store. There are fantastic walks nearby and good places to eat with a view. Lots to do and with 2 teenage boys, the WiFi was sufficient! It was proper escapism and we would definitely return!
Great little place to stay, lots of character & charm situated on the side of a quiet valley.
Although didn’t spend too much time there during the day as fishing the Wye was our reason for being there. Sadly the fish weren’t as welcoming as the accommodation.
Lovely out of the way location close by woodland walks. Very friendly and accommodating owners live closer by. Very clean and well skinned. Surprisingly decent wi-fi.

It's a charming place hidden away in beautiful surroundings. Sheep grazing around are a nice feature!
The Apple Store is a lovely little cottage, well equipped, warm and cosy and in a stunning setting looking out across the fields full of sheep. We were lucky enough to have sunny weather and it we could sit out in the back garden enjoying the peace. We would definitely stay again if we come to this area. Sarah and Dom were very friendly and helpful during our stay.
Really lovely place. Traditional and thoughtful conversion but with all amenities. Stunning location. Easy to access all the activities we hoped to do as a family with young children.
Very quaint little cottage. Nice and peaceful surroundings. Was nice to sit out in the back garden with a drink taking in the surroundings and watching the sheep and birds of prey. Nice walks in the vicinity too. Enjoyed our stay.
A beautiful setting in the Wye Valley. The property is perfect for a family. We loved the views from the garden. The sheep were entertaining. Buzzards constantly calling from the trees.
Absolutely loved The Apple Store! Lovely scenic spot and very accommodating hosts. Great location from which to tour the countryside and a charming cottage to come back to at night. I would enjoy another stay here.
We truly had the best time and enjoyed every minute of our stay.
The location was perfect and the peace and tranquillity were just what was needed.
Many thanks.
So peaceful, surrounded by fields of sheep. Walks right on your doorstep, lots of history. Beautiful quaint towns Ross on Wye and Abergavenny. Take a boat trip down the Wye from Symonds Yat East. The Apple Store cottage was so clean and comfy, we’ll definitely be back 🙏😊
Absolutely lovely in a rural setting.
A well equipped and comfortable place to stay.
Hosts were friendly and offered ideas for places to visit and enjoy.
If you like wildlife and bird watching ideal place too!
Stunning location, comfortable and clean cottage. Just what we needed for a break from everything. Thank you. Would definitely recommend and hope to return. Could not wish for more.
The Apple Store is located in a beautiful setting, surrounded by fields and (very friendly) sheep. Communication with the owners was excellent and their response to emergencies (we had a brief power cut) was rapid. There's lots to do in this area and we would not hesitate in returning to the Apple Store. Thank you Sarah!
We stayed here as part of our holiday and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location is perfect for exploring the area. The accommodation itself is fabulous and as described. If ever we're back in the area, we'll stay here again. Bonus was the fact that my son learned to ride his bike here and he loved the neighbours ie the two sheep... Thank you to the hosts for adding to our amazing summer holiday experience. J,J & D
