About Applejacks Orchard

Applejacks Orchard is a lovely, studio-style holiday hut nestled on the outskirts of Holywell, a bustling market town near the River Dee in Flintshire. Boasting off-road parking on a private driveway, an enclosed garden, and a superb, tastefully-presented interior, this wonderful retreat makes an idyllic escape for a couple seeking a romantic, fuss-free getaway to beautiful North Wales.

Park up outside your charming new home-from-home, taking a moment to appreciate your tranquil new surroundings before heading indoors. Inside, discover an immaculate, well-appointed studio-style living space, comprising an elegant double bed, an amply-equipped kitchen, dining table with seating for two, and a sitting area with corner sofa, TV, and an electric fireplace where you and your loved one can curl up in the evenings to enjoy a movie marathon.

. When you and your partner grow tired, be sure to refresh with a revitalising soak in the sleek freestanding bath on your way to catching a well-earned rest ahead of a brand-new exciting day.

When you're ready, set out on foot to explore the local area. The shortest of walks will bring you to your nearest convenience store, Costcutter, where you can load up on homely essentials to ease your stay, whilst in the opposite direction, The Stamford Gate Hotel houses your nearest bar and restaurant when you fancy a break from cooking.

For a day out, jump in the car and venture into the heart of Holywell, starting your itinerary with a spot of tea and a light bite at Kassidy’s Tea Room or Marmalade before continuing onto the sites of Greenfield Mill and the Pen Y Maes Woods. After Holywell, carry on north parallel to the coast to reach Talacre, a seaside village where eager tourists flock to spend time spotting wild birds within the RSPB Point of Ayr - Dee Estuary, snap photos of the historic Point of Ayr Lighthouse, or simply delight with a day spent on the golden sands of Talacre Beach.

Applejacks Orchard Reviews

Darren
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.
Yvette
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
Rebecca
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.

Out of all of the Go Ape! courses the one in Cheshire is the most spread out and it takes staff ten minutes to patrol the site on bike - which gives a good indication of the size of this place.  If you're looking for an adventurous and memorable day out then Go Ape is highly recommended.  Trek through the treetops, swing between the trees and enjoy zip wire rides all as part of your experience.  This attraction opens every day from the end of March to end October and is open on weekends in November.  Go Ape Cheshire is closed every Tuesday except school holidays.
