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!

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.

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.
