• "The cottage suited us very well."

  It was warm, comfortable and well equipped. The outside fenced area was perfect for my little Jack Russell's zoomies. We enjoyed the peaceful privacy and the proximity of Leominster, Ludlow and Hereford. The cottage is an ideal base for exploring the historic villages and castles of Herefordshire.

• "We had a lovely week in the Cider House, where we found everything we needed for our stay."

  The surrounding countryside is gorgeous with plenty of places to explore. The local pub, the Stockton Cross was very welcoming with some good banter with the locals and staff. The Sunday dinner was a particular highlight. The welcome pack was excellent and very welcome indeed.

• "We have had a lovely week relaxing in a great location."

  Easy to find and accessible to lots of nearby places. Trudie greeted us when we arrived and explained about different things. After that we knew if we needed anything where to go but were left to enjoy our holiday which was just great. Having two en-suite bathrooms made life very easy. Yes the second bedroom sink isn’t huge but it all worked for us. Plenty of storage space too. The kitchen was well equipped and the cooker worked well. It was also lovely and warm. The only thing we felt was the beds were very hard for us both. I know it’s so difficult to please everyone but I found sleeping quite difficult I think because I am used to the more modern mattress that seemed to suit most people not the sprung sort. That was the only thing I would change. Maybe it’s something to consider even if only one bedroom could be changed. Thank you so much for a lovely holiday. We hope to return again soon.

  Beautiful location, lovely and clean, very well equipped and completely dog friendly. Super happy with the large, enclosed garden, raised sink to wash muddy paws was just perfect and a boot room to dry off in. Honestly the best cottage we've stayed in. Had some lovely long walks straight from the cottage and came home completely relaxed. Wouldn't hesitate to book again

• "We found the Cider House a lovely holiday destination in a beautiful setting."

  The actual cottage provided everything we expected from the listing. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had all the equipment we needed. The only slight niggle was that the cleaning was not quite as good as it might have been - a little more attention to dusting in the corners would have been good.

• "The Cider House is set in a beautiful location and is a working farm, the Owners are friendly and are close by if you need advice or help."

  It was lovely to see their two dogs Jax and Lily, our dog would look for them on return from our day trips. The property is well set up as home from home with utensils, tea, coffee, milk and sponge, tea towel. We visited Ludlow, Leominster, Ledbury, everywhere was very dog friendly so it was a pleasure to take our Dog everywhere with us. She had a brilliant time, the garden is big and enclosed so she could wonder freely under our watchful eyes. She loved to say Hello to the Owners dogs. It was tranquil and relaxing which is just what we were looking for, a working farm so owners are friendly and around but let you get on with your time. Lovely property, lovely break and all 5 of us (including the dog) had a lovely time away. We would love to return in the future.

  We looked for info on recommendations to eat but didn’t see anything. We chose an Indian who delivered called jalabad, it was recommendable . This is just a positive feedback. And maybe a thought. Your place is beautiful and we loved the enclosed garden and views and enjoyed the farm life. Highly recommended for pet stays or family,The beds were so comfortable large and in complete darkness. It was bliss

• "The property is lovely and comfortable."

  The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. The countryside is fabulous. It is really quiet, peaceful and relaxing. We really enjoyed the holiday. There are a couple of things that could be improved, however. Firstly, the cider vat looks great on the photos, but they are about 10 years old. Currently it is falling apart and mouldy. We could not sit in it. It would be better to get rid of it and put in some easy seating so you can sit looking over the sheep in the field. Particularly since that is the only view from the outside space. I do think the outside photos should be updated. I will put some on Google, as I can't put any on here. Things are rather more shabby now. For the sake of older and less agile visitors, a rail on at least one side of the outside steps would be helpful. Also non-slip mats and rails would be great in the showers. My mum was quite nervous, so had to buy a mat. The sink in the smaller en suite is so small that you can hardly clean your teeth. The mirror standing out over an inch doesn't help. Maybe something could be done. Also the beds were comfortable, but could do with mattress toppers as I could feel the springs. The smaller bedroom could also use more coat hooks or rails, as there was nowhere to hang dressing gowns or a second towel, as the towel rail isn't big enough. Please be advised to bring dish cloths and extra tea towels. Bring everything you need to cook because the only thing there is a table salt and pepper shaker. And if you want to use the dishwasher or washing machine, bring your own detergent. I always think that hosts should stay at their property for a night or two as if they were guests, bringing suitcases and cooking. That way they would see exactly what is needed. While these hosts try really hard, it would be good for them to try this, sleeping in the smaller room particularly. Overall this is a lovely property and we really enjoyed our stay. These things would just make it even better.

  Hi Jennifer, I’m pleased to hear you all had an overall lovely stay with us. But I am sorry to hear you were not completely satisfied with your stay and what the property had to offer. Please note this is a self catering property therefore, we do not offer everything you require to aid your cooking we do however offer some basics such as, salt, pepper, tea, coffee, milk, sugar, washing up liquid, hand wash, a toilet roll in each toilet and a washing up sponge all of which is offered as a gesture to get your holiday underway. Apologies this did not meet your expectations. We have had some very good comments about the beds and how comfortable they are but I fully appreciate this is down to personal preference. I agree the Cider Barrel in the garden is not in the best condition at this time, it has been extremely difficult to maintain it with all the wet weather, the rain does drive in and wet the interior but, throughout the summer it is much more useable and the table and chairs on the patio can be used with the cushions and parasol provided. The sink in the smaller bathroom is a space saving sink to allow as much space as possible, again apologies this was not ideal for yourselves but, the space available determines the size sink we can offer. I appreciate you would have preferred slip mats or handrails but the property description doesn't advise these are offered. Thank you for offering your comments, it’s very useful to hear suggestions from our guests perspectives. Property Owner

  Great layout, the ‘boot room’ was ideal for keeping muddy shores and dogs in. Plenty of space for the four of us. Very comfortable beds and very clean. Great to have an enclosed garden that our two dogs could run around in. We enjoyed our stay immensely, loved seeing the lambs and other residents. Would love to come back in the summer when its dryer.

  Very clean and comfortable. It was warm and there are some great views. The driveway might prove tricky for some, but we were ok with it, as we had a 4 x 4.

  The property is spacious and it’s a great benefit of having two bedrooms both with en-suites. Whilst we couldn’t make much use of the garden and patio it’s a great space and something which I would imagine is great for lighter/sunnier nights. The owners were lovely and very friendly.

• "The Cider House was beautiful with lots of character."

  It was comfortable and provided everything we could have needed . We had a welcome pack of fresh eggs bacon sausage and biscuits plus milk tea coffee and sugar. The beds were comfortable and both had great en suite bathrooms. There were hens and ducks who enjoyed the peas we fed them and two very friendly dogs. The garden was enclosed and safe for those with dogs or young children to consider. The only very small criticism would be the drive way as it is bumpy and would probably benefit from new gravel to even it out. Having said that it is a farm so to be expected. Dominic and Trudie were friendly and available but not intrusive. We would definitely recommend The Cider House without hesitation. We will be back I'm sure

  The welcome breakfast basket was very appreciated and filled with the farms local produce. A really warm and welcoming touch by our hosts who greeted us as we parked up as well as their two beautiful 10 month old collies. Alas our 8 yr old husky was not up for playing with them and preferred to laze away in the perfectly lawned and enclosed gardens. Once Trudie and Dominique had informed us of the farms workings and the nearby walks we were then left to enjoy our holiday but always on hand if anything was needed. As the weather for the week was very hot it was a relief to discover that the house kept relatively cool inside. It was nice to enjoy alfresco dining on the patio area as well. This is a working farm with sheep, stabled horses and farm machinery but noise levels were kept to a minimum and although a building extension was going on, again, the owners were very mindful of keeping noise to a minimum. The super king size bed was extremely comfortable and we slept really well all throughout our stay. The location was a good base to visit surrounding areas near and afar. We visited Tewksbury Abbey, shopped at Hereford with its majestic Cathedral and enjoyed the long walks around Symmonds Yat and Croft Castle Parklands. Broadway and Bourton on the Water are our favourite haunts for cream teas and gift shopping. We certainly recommend Cider House and are looking to return next year. A big thank you to Trudie and Dominique who couldn’t do enough to make our stay enjoyable and relaxing. We wish them all the best in what seems to be a relatively new venture.
