The Apple Store, Great Doward In The Wye Valley

The Apple Store is a self contained annexe to 'Old Kiln House', which is an 18th century farmhouse and cider orchard. Situated on 'Great Doward, a hill of mixed farm and woodland set in the lower Wye Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property has extensive views across the Wye Valley. Numerous excellent walks begin right from the doorstep and King Arthur's Cave can be seen and easily visited from the Apple Store. The old barn and outbuilding have recently been restored to provide comfort and modern convenience in an idyllic rural setting.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 🙏😊

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
