Applejacks Orchard, Holywell

Wow what an amazing, beautiful and different accommodation Applejacks is. I specifically booked this for me, my wife and the dogs because it looked very different and quirky and seeing it in the flesh did not disappoint. We stayed for a week in late January early February which we knew would be sketchy weather which does not deter us from having a good time. Upon entering the property which has its own private garden which is ample and secured for the dogs to enjoy without the worry of them escaping. The lovely touches and attention to detail is what makes Applejacks and enjoyable lodge. The fairy lights and butterfly and Ivy decorations make it feel like you are walking into a Woodland fairy hobbit like hideaway. It is basically two large octagon shaped rooms connected by a central walkway. To the left of the walkway and entrance is the large bedroom which is very snug and comfortable with plenty of space with a large comfortable bed. It is also decorated with lovely touches. To the right of the main entrance is the main living area and kitchen which is well designed with everything one needs. I like the fact that it was well thought out with many additional plug points. In the middle directly in front of the main entrance is the bathroom and a toilet. Being a very OCD person I liked the fact that it was decorated and finished to a high standard. There were plenty radiators or heaters to keep the place nice and snuggly warm. Having the outside area for a fire and relax is a great idea and perfect for us. Also having the hot tub and sauna for relaxing and after long walks, its an absolute dream. Talacre Beech is about a 10 to 15 minute drive away. Snowdon is about 1 hour away. Port Meirieon is about 75 mins away. Having the very well stocked garage literally next door is also a massive bonus for just about anything you forget or run out of. All in all we absolutely LOVED our little holiday at Applejacks. And would highly recommend it for anyone who doesnt just want to book a Bog standard lodge and they want something a bit different but that absolutely does not disappoint. The owners are lovely and very helpful and did not mind us messaging them for a little bit of advice or help during our stay. 10 out of 10

What an amazing quirky cottage, we loved every minute of our stay. The owners have decorated it beautifully it was so snug & comfy, they also left us some lovely treats which were so nice. Its a perfect getaway from every day life & just switch off & not too far from amenities. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Applejacks was perfect for us! We have a German Shepherd who needs a big garden to play in and sniff around, having an enclosed space gave him exactly that, while giving us the privacy we wanted too! The location was great to access everything North Wales has to offer, only an hours drive from lots of great walks. We managed to find long walks every day we were here offering lots of amazing views. Hot tub and sauna were exactly what was needed after our walks and allowed us to really wind down. The fire pit and pizza oven are great extras too, very unique. Hosts are fantastic, we will be back, thank you so much for a great stay!

What a wonderful place to take a mini break! Highly recommended for anyone wishing to switch off and relax. Fantastic accommodation and facilities, we couldnt fault a thing! We will definitely be back next year! Thank you!

Lovely quaint little place! Lovely hosts who left lots of goodies for us in the fridge! Really felt at home. Stamford Gate pub near by, where staff were super friendly, and made us and the dog really welcome. Delicious food too!

A lovely, quirky property that we will not forget. We stay at lodges often and, while lovely, they all blend into one. This one is very unique. The extra touches such as milkwinewaterjuicecola, even cake!!! in the fridge were an unexpected bonus. Not having to bring, soap, washing up liquid etc was really helpful. This property also has the advantage of a completely secure garden for your fourlegged friend. We enjoyed the hot tub and the sauna as well as lovely walks in the local area and at nearby beaches. It was great that the property was within walking distance of places to visit and in particular to eat at recommend Stamford Gate!, as often getting anywhere from a lodge requires you to drive. Hosts were very pleasant and helpful especially when we couldn't get back in as we had unknowingly got the gate lock upside down!

Great little cabin. Hosts thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. We are big sauna fans so having a sauna and a hot tub is always a winner with us. Loved how outdoor seating area, barbecue and hot tub were all under cover. The garden is big and enclosed. The tiny lodge itself is relatively small but feels big when you are inside. The location was perfect being next to major roads and a convenience store next door was exactly that, convenient. Really enjoyed my week there.

Applejacks was exactly as advertised, everything you would require was available, outside was a great secure garden with fabulous amenities, including sauna, hot tub, bbq, pizza oven & comfortable outside furniture, all of which were high end. Owner Diane was extremely nice and very informative.

What an absolutely beautiful place to stay, would definitely come back! It feels like you're staying somewhere magical, a perfect place to celebrate mam's birthday In the fridge when we got there was complimentary wine, cake, drinks and biscuits which I did not expect at all but was very grateful to receive. Hot tub was a must when we were deciding on accommodation, the fire pit was perfect to have an evening buffet outside and as mentioned earlier the place itself is gorgeous. Looks sold me immediately as all other glamping pods were the same brown, small and not as many facilities. We didn't use the sauna, bbq or pizza oven but the fact they're available is amazing and even better that the area is fenced off for privacy and on site parking. When relaxing on the evening after the hot tub simply sign into your Netflix account if you have one and enjoy.

Loved every minute of our stay, wish we'd stayed for a week. Lovely clean and very comfortable inside . The bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. Hot tub was great, the outdoor seating area was perfect, nice and cool on one of the hottest days of the year. The garden was perfect size for the dog to wander around and chase his big ball all over the place. Garage next door came in very handy for food and drinks also

Great week in magical very comfortable place which is well equipped with everything you need even local info on town & map with excellent dog walks suggested. The dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was much needed after long walks.great location for exploring the coastline and nearby towns, most within 2030min drive away. Holywell within walking distance and plenty of parking in supermarkets car parksTescoLidl. Owners very friendly and helpful and live close by if any issues. We had none but they gave us good information which helped us plan our week. Highly recommended just take care going in and out as entrance a little tight depending on size of car.we had SUV

An absolutely beautiful week spent here reluctantly had to leave yesterday

WOW.beautiful place ,quiet ,relaxing short break highly recommend i will definitely be booking again .

Wow what a special magical place Apples is! From the moment we saw the advert online we knew we had found somewhere unique and beautiful and had to book to stay!! We were blown away as soon as we pulled up to Apples, it was simply stunning with its gorgeous quirky styling and twinkling lights we just knew we would be staying in a magical place this week. Our pup immediately loved the spacious secure garden and we were so pleased with the lovely multiple seating areas with log burner, the sun loungers, fab hot tub and sauna area and bbq and couldnt wait to unpack and get stuck in! When we unlocked the door we were blown away again by how truly magical it was inside so spacious but yet cozy, the decor was beautiful quirky and the furnishing and finishes were just gorgeous. The attention to detail was everything from the welcome gifts and little special touches for us and our fur baby, to all the little home from home comforts and more that you need, which were so considered and thoughtful. We felt very welcomed and relaxed and just loved our stay at Apples and cant wait to go back again. It is a very special magical place for a lovely relaxing staycation, in a really beautiful part of the North Wales Coastline with many stunning places of interest within short car rides and with Snowdonia being a little under an hour away to and Loggerheads Country Park around 2030 mins away, both worth a visit and many more lovely places around closeby. Thank you to such wonderful hosts Diane and Jonny for providing us with such a wonderful magical stay at Applejacks. Highly reccomend to anyone and we cant wait to come back again soon x

This is a beautiful property,it was clean had lots of thoughtful extras lovely outside area . However I think anyone booking it needs to know it is next to a very busy road 247 and the garage also has a storage business ?next door and that also is very noisy . It's such a shame.

Fabulous accommodation and hosts were great, definitely recommend

The property was beautiful, very secure and perfect for a short break away. Diane message the day after we had arrived to check that we had settled in OK and that she was there if we needed anything, which I thought was nice.

Wow, what a magical place! We stayed in January when it had snowed, which added to the wonder. When we arrived the snow had been perfectly cleared for us from the driveway and paths which was such a lovely thought. The hosts really think ahead, they had pre warmed it for us and left us extra heaters given the weather, and also some lovely drinkable and edible treats, for the doggys too

Absolutely fantastic place and hosts, everything you need is there, you could literally write an essay on how beautiful applejack's is and how wonderful Diane and John the owners are but I won't. ..... Go and take a look for yourselves.

Such a lovely cosy place. Everything was perfect and spotlessly clean. We had little welcome note and package on arrival and lots of essentials.Great information pack with places to eat,walk etc.We had everything we needed.The hot tub was perfect and our dog absolutely loved the spacious secure garden to run around.The place is beautifully decorated and furnished.We had a lovely stay and would love to return and would definitely recommend this lovely place.

Had a great week with the two dogs. The hosts were so helpful, knowledgeable about the area and very pleasant people. The property is beautifully decorated with lots of unique features. Would definitely recommend to anyone particularly dog owners due to the secure lovely sized garden

We stayed in this beautiful cabin for 3 nights in August. The host Diane was fantastic and the accommodation was out of this world. Both the inside and outside area's are spectacular, Diane and her husband have catered for your every need. On arrival we were greeted with a handwritten card welcoming us to the cabin and inside the fridge was some delicious goodies, including a bottle of wine and a few treats for our dog. We made full use of all the facilities which included the barbecue area and the relaxing hot tub. The decor was beautiful and you can clearly see that this a labour of love for Diane, the whole area, both inside and outside, was immaculate and spotless. Would we stay here again? Absolutely!!

What a gorgeous and absolutely spotless place to stay. Such gorgeous attention to detail and thoughtful goodies left for us and our pooches. We had a lovely time and will definitely recommend to family and friends. The hot tub was a wonderful touch and we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for making everything so lovely!

There is no other word to describe this place other than magical. Both the inside and outside was so beautiful. Diane and Jonny were amazing hosts who went the extra mile for ourselves and our dog. The welcome gifts were so thoughtful, and they even dropped off a cooling mat for our dog one morning as the weather was hot. The property is very private, and fully enclosed, we felt like we were in our own little world we almost didn't want to go out each day!! We will miss Applejacks very much and would love to return in the future. Thank you for giving us a fantastic holiday!

This place is absolutely magical. Its big wow moment when you go through the gates its absolutely stunning. The garden is completely private you close the gates and your in your own little bubble. Inside the cabin is absolutely gorgeous with everything you could ever need. The people that own it are really lovely couple. If you are looking for top class property this is definitely the one to go for you. We will definitely be back.

Although I think problem with not having a TV ariel has probably been resolved as discussed with the owner during our stay being footy season now would be invaluable! Everything seems to have been thought of except the lack of a toilet brush in the bathroom. The accommodation is beautiful

What a fantastic holiday. Me, my partner and doggy had the most relaxing holiday in this beautiful home away from home. It was so clean and inviting. The decor could be admired for hours and feels like somthing out of a fairytale. The atmosphere the hosts have created are one of tranquility, romance and relaxation. Everything you would need for a getaway was provided. The fridge had a few essentials upon arrival such as milk and bottled water but also luxuries such as wine and crumpets. We felt very welcomed and taken care of. The owners assured us that they only lived a walk away and if we needed anything to not hesitate on contacting them, we felt very comfortable to contact them if there was any issues. The large enclosed garden was secure and safe, which made having a dog on holiday feel much easier. There were doggy poo bags provided as well as some treats for little nova. The hosts also suggested a fantastic dog walk and made the stay feel really personalised. We feel everything was thought about to make the holiday just that bit more easier for ourselfs. The fantastic use of cooking facilities ment that we could cook some home comforts and save on money from eating out every day. The times we did eat out was from there recommendation found in the welcome pack and these top picks did not disappoint. . We would highly recommend this place and would be happy to return again.
