"A fabulous property."
It was very warm and comfortable with all the equipment and facilities you could ever need. The owner, although not on site when we were there, couldn’t have been more caring. The welcome pack even contained a delicious homemade sponge cake. We are looking forward to visiting again and would highly recommend this property.

"We have just returned from a lovely stay at the Cider Mill despite the awful weather, never seen so much rain."
What a find superb accommodation, delightful hosts Sue and David nothing was too much trouble. Didn’t see as much of Hereford as we would have like so will have to come back again. Thank you for all the extras especially the delicious cake and the apples.
Thank you so much! The weather was truly awful for so much of your week and we were so sorry for you. (Not normal for lovely Herefordshire to have rain like that, but some comfort to know it was countrywide that week.) We are very happy that despite the weather you were warm and cosy and found the cottage comfortable. We do hope you will be able to visit again when the sun is shining and thank you for leaving the cottage so immaculate! Property Owner

"The Cider Mill is beautiful presented, everything worked and nothing was spared making it a great place to stay."
We were lucky with the weather in the earlier part of the week and though the owners were away, they made sure we were comfortable supplying us with sun beds and the use of their lovely private garden. The area is hilly but in the village is a cider orchard with gentle walks through it but for the fitter it offers numerous walks without getting in the car to drive to. There is a library of possible walks catered for by the owners. Thank you for a great stay.
We were so sorry to miss meeting you as we were on holiday ourselves, but we are delighted that you had a great stay at the Cider Mill. Thank you so much for your lovely review, it’s so good to hear that as well as liking the cottage, you found time to enjoy the village and the local walks from the property. Property Owner

"The Cider Mill is a beautiful place to stay and Sue and David made us very welcome."
We have booked again for next year as we found many places to visit especially gardens, and want to see them again in the summer.

"What a wonderful find this property was."
Fully equipped, welcome cake, bread and butter and milk, and hosts that made us feel like old friends. Great location for touring around, and even though it snowed for two days, we had lots to do in the Cider Mill. Lots of room for two, and we would not hesitate to go back on any future visit to Hereford. Thank you both for all your help with our packing our car to go home in the snow.
Thank you so much for such a kind review. It is always a pleasure to us when our guests have a great stay at the Cider Mill. You certainly made the best of the somewhat difficult weather conditions and it was lovely to meet such a resourceful couple. We always try hard to provide everything our guests might need, but unfortunately we can’t do anything about the weather! Property Owner

"Sue and David were excellent hosts."
Their attention to detail, their generosity and willingness to ensure our stay was 100% was exceptional.

Kind regards Sue and Stephen Barton

"There aren’t enough superlatives for this place!"
Everything was absolutely perfect! Sue and David should set up a training school for other property owners, as they have thought of absolutely everything you could possibly need in a beautiful home away from home. The Cider Mill is in a lovely spot, gorgeous view from the balcony, surrounded by beautiful gardens, so peaceful, could feel my shoulders drop the moment we arrived. The cherry on the top was the very thoughtful gluten free goodies Sue made for us and the excellent advice and info provided, as well as the complete privacy given to us during our stay. Couldn’t have asked for more, thank you so much Sue and David.
We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at the Cider Mill and thank you for the lovely review which means so much to us. Property Owner

"Thie Cider Mill was one of the best holiday cottages that we have rented, everything had been given careful thought."
Standards were excellent. The personal touches - the home made cake, and a decanter of sherry were delightful. The owners made us feel very welcome. We hope to return, thank you.
Thank you so much for such a great review! We are so glad you enjoyed your break at the Cider Mill and that you hope to return. To receive such lovely comments makes sharing our cottage so worthwhile for us. Property Owner

"Susan and David were very welcoming and the Cider Mill was very much a 5 Star venue for a relaxing week in the countryside."
We especially loved the field of sheep and lambs outside our window and thoroughly enjoyed our week in Herefordshire. My wife and I would happily visit the Cider Mill again in the future.
-

A very characterful property in a lovely setting.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Cider Mill and our hosts were simply lovely."
Lots of extra touches which made it even more special. We didn’t want to leave
-
"The Cider Mill is a wonderful location and experience."
Well done to Sue and David for maintaining the place to such a high standard. As a "get away from it all" location, it works beautifully and can enjoy sitting it the well kept gardens watching the sun set. Or walk from the front door to see rolling countrysides. The facilities and arrangement of the Cider Mill are excellent and feels like a 5 star experience. Definitely for grown up couples or pairs.
-
"The photos and description of the cottage (The Cider Mill, Westhope) were excellent."
Susan and David met us and we had a lovely chat and settled us in really well. The facilities were of a very high standard, although (understandably) due to Covid protocol some of the board games had been removed which wasn't a problem. I have messaged them to thank them personally.
-
"The perfect place to relax accommodation has everything you need."
The host are so welcoming and on hand if you need anything. Beautiful place in a beautiful setting with plenty to see and do near by.
-
"The Cider Mill is delightful, and the hosts, Sue and David are so friendly and helpful."
This was our second visit, and there will be a third. We love Herefordshire and the surrounding area.
-
"Clearly not a venue for those disabled."
Uneven steps down from the car parking area and then wooden steps up to the front door.
-
"The Cider mill was quirky and very comfortable."
Being able to sit on the deck viewing the countryside and watching the sheep was delightful. The owners attention to detail and friendliness was much appreciated. The location was ideal to visit many places of interest. Thank you.
-
"This is a beautiful cottage in a lovely garden."
We had a very relaxing time.
-
"The Cider Mill fully met our expectations as a 5 star cottage with a warm welcome from the owners."
Whilst the weather was not brilliant the Cider Mill provided a cozy comfortable place to return to and relax each day. Facilities were of a very high standard and the Super King Size bed was extremely comfortable.
-
"The Cider Mill is an absolutely stunning property - beautifully furnished and set up as a home, not just a holiday let."
Every little detail has been considered - I brought along quite a few things I have found missing from holiday properties in the past, and all stayed unpacked! The owners, Susan and David, are really lovely people who genuinely care about their guests. We were also pleasantly surprised both by how lovely the surrounding countryside is and by how much there is to do in the area. We may well return!
-
"Susan was a wonderful hostess; she gave us a warm welcome and lots of information about the local area."
The Cider Mill was so clean and had fresh milk and butter in the fridge. We couldn’t recommend it enough!
-
"A really beautiful place to stay with real home from home comfort."
We can highly recommend the cider barn as a place to escape to, it is in a great location to explore the area but has everything you need to be comfortable if you just want to cosy in. The owner is very welcoming and helpful without any invasion of privacy and communication was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and couldn't find anything that could be improved.
-
"It's great when you read the guest book and find that previous guests have used the sort of superlatives you want to use."
The only drawback then is that you feel you need to come up with some different way of paying the same sort of compliments and giving the same sort of accolade. In every respect, for every aspect, I would give Susan and David at least a 100% rating. They are an extremely genuine, welcoming, friendly, helpful and hospitable couple. Thank you both for a wonderful break.
-
"Truly, truly, excellent."
The owners, Sue & David, were really lovely people and that was reflected in the standard of their rented accommodation.
-
"Perfect stay, very well presented, exceptionally clean property The location is ideal for walking or visiting nearby villages and towns, we didn't want a lot to do, just a get away."
The owners are very informative of the local area and nothing is a problem. Highly recommended
-
"The accommodation is situated in a beautiful location and is tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable."
Having the gym was a added bonus particularly as we were there during storm Ciara so were housebound that day!! Sue and David couldn't have been more welcoming making us feel like nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend the cottage and the area if you are looking for peace and quiet but with lots of lovely walks and places to visit.

Westhope is a peaceful, rural village set amidst beautiful Herefordshire countryside, only 8 miles from Leominster. Located in the heart of the border countryside where England and Wales nudge each other along Offa's Dyke, the area is a haven for walking and cycling, and for discovering olde worlde country pubs in the unspoilt villages close by. The picturesque village of Weobley, just a short drive away, is a hidden gem and is quite simply the jewel in the crown of Herefordshire’s famous Black and White Village Trail. This delightful village boasts many timber framed houses, some dating back to the 1400s and boasts excellent facilities including shops, churches, coffee shops, traditional pubs and the renowned Jules restaurant. Leominster, possesses some fine examples of architecture such as the Priory Church, along with a wide variety of shops, cafes and pubs, and is the ideal place in which to spend a lazy afternoon strolling around in pleasant surroundings. Within easy reach are Hay-on-Wye, the 'town of books' and the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park and Black Mountains. The popular medieval town of Ludlow, situated above the River Teme, is also well worth a visit, with stunning surroundings of unspoilt countryside of south Shropshire and the Welsh borders. The cathedral city of Hereford dates back to Saxon times and boasts an eclectic mix of architecture, with a medieval bridge spanning the winding River Wye. Here you can discover the fascinating Mappa Mundi world map and the captivating chained library, home to a collection of rare and ancient books. There is also a cheese factory, vineyard and many cider farms in the surrounding areas for guests to tour and sample the delights of the wonderful local produce.
