An excellent two storey cottage, rather larger than pictures suggest. Very clean, well presented and comfortable in a beautiful location.

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.
