The Apple Store, Great Doward In The Wye Valley

Lovely property surrounded by beautiful countryside. A fantastic place for a relaxing break. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming.

Very peaceful location and all as it is described. Thank you for the stay.

A lovely very well appointed cottage with off road parking in the Wye Valley. Beautiful woodland and river walks straight from the front door. Only a 10 minute drive away from Monmouth.

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.
