Beautiful place

We had a wonderful stay with our dogs. We loved the space, the secure garden, the hot tub and the location. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The only criticism we have is the mattress on the main bed was uncomfortable. You could feel the springs and we didn’t sleep too well on it. Saying that, we would definitely like to return as everything else was perfect.

The property is set in a very peaceful location with great amenities only a short drive away. The location of the outdoor space and hot tub were very private making it a really usable and relaxing space. Indoors the house is clean, tidy with everything you need for your stay with modern but cozy decor. If there was one thing I would say it needed is a new mattress on the double bed, it has seen much better days and would benefit from a new mattress as it was quite uncomfortable, this however is the only feedback I’d have to say about this property, and hopefully they will replace it soon.

A beautiful little hidden gem.

An amazing little cottage, perfectly located, it was a 10 minute walk to the local village of Bidford on Avon, there were a few shops, pubs and restaurant's. There is a beautiful little church ii the village also, this was very quaint. The cottage was well stocked and the hot tub was brilliant, we were a group of 4 ladies and we all had a fabulous time. We loved our stay and would not hesitate to recommend to others. 5 stars!!

Perfect short break.

Cider House was exactly what we needed to explore Stratford Upon Avon, just a short drive away. The house was clean, comfortable and fully equipped. We loved using the hot tub and were grateful for the flip flops, towels and dressing gowns provided. The owners left us to enjoy our selves and there was no need to contact them as the provided information was detailed. Would love to stay here again sometime.

Lovely property with hot tub!

We had a lovely stay in this property, it has everything needed for a relaxing break. We made the most of the hot tub even in November, and the log burner was great to keep us warm and cosy in the evenings. The provision of towelling robes, extra towels and flip flops when using the hot tub was really appreciated. The location is great for exploring the north of the Cotswolds and Stratford on Avon. The nearest village at Bidford on Avon has a lovely cafe in the centre and walks along the river Avon.

Lovely short stay at the Cider House

Nice property, larger than you would expect from the photos. Garden was great for the dog and fully enclosed.Property was very comfortable and the hot tub was a nice touch, just a shame we only stayed 2 nights. Overall the property was clean but we did find the oven, grill pan and some cutlery hadn't been cleaned. Really enjoyed our stay and would like to return for a little longer next time.

Amazing place to stay

We had an amazing time at The Cider Barn. It was peaceful with awesome views of the countryside. The barn was clean and well presented, the owner had thought of everything. Lots of lovely pubs nearby. We did some great kayaking in Leamington Spa and hung out by the river in Bidford. Warning, lots of ants enjoyed their stay in the barn too! The gentleman working for customer services was very helpful and polite. He very quickly and efficiently sorted out my booking error. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us on your recent stay at Cider House. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Regarding your comments about the ants, these can unfortunately be more common during warmer weather, particularly in older properties. We've shared your feedback with the owner, who is currently looking into the source of these and how best to prevent them going forward. We hope to see you in the Cotswolds again soon.

Fabulous family get away

The accommodation was perfectly clean with plenty of amenities. It was great to have things like washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, soaps, cling film, foil, as it saves buying or bringing them. The outlook was fabulous, looking across farmland and beyond. The hot tub was great and very clean. Having a log burner and a supply of logs made the evenings very cosy, especially after getting out of the hot tub in October! Location was great and you can walk into town, but you're far enough away for it to be tranquil. It would have been even better if the bed was a bit larger, like a king, but not sure if that would fit in the room. This was the only thing we would change. We loved our stay.

Lovely place in a great location

We had a great long weekend in the barn. The location is perfect - just half a mile up the road, with a path all the way, to Bidford which has plenty of places to eat or get a take away. The barn was nicely furnished with everything we needed and very comfortable. The hot tub was an added bonus as we were able to reduce the temperature and use it to cool down given the scorching weather. The garden was dog secure and large enough for our border terrier to let off steam in the evening once the temperature had dropped. We have already started looking for when we can come back!!

Lovely base for the cotswolds

Really nice little cottage, located within easy reach of the cotswolds. House was clean, tidy and very well equipped. We did find an ear plug on the floor of the bedroom though but it was no problem. The house was excellent with a dog, and had plenty of outdoor space for him to run around, and he was a huge fan of the logburner! Hot tub was really nice and enjoyable aswell. All in all a great place to stay, and would go again.

Good location for exploring the Cotswolds.

Car recommended. Walk to village approx 10-15 min. Fish and chip shop and Indian takeaway. We visited The Frog pub/ restaurant a couple of times. Lovely location by the river and food and drinks reasonably priced. Have Gluten Free options too. One Stop convenience store and Co op nearby. Made use of the BBQ and hot tub at the property. Visited during heatwave and had problem with flies if we left the windows open. Could have benefited from some electric fans but otherwise a spacious and comfortable property with well enclosed garden for the dog. Visited several towns within 20-40 min drive Stratford On Avon, Bourton On The Water, Chipping Norton, Burford.

Comfy Cider Barn

Enjoyed our short break at the Cider Barn Lovely hot tub! Great Location! Great enclosed garden, which our Basset hound fully enjoyed playing in. Ideal for my elderly mother with mobility issues, being all on one level. Only a few issues, shame no milk, when we arrived as there was tea, coffee, sugar provided. I did find the mattress on the Double Bed quite uncomfortable, a King Size bed would have been nicer. Also being on a farm the road down to the barn was full of large pot holes which you have to try and navigate around! Overall we all did have a very relaxing stay.

We have shared your points with the owner who wishes that you had asked for milk during your stay as they would have been very happy to provide this for you. Also they will look into the mattress and they have let us know the drive is due to be repaired.

Comfortable relaxing break in the countryside

We had a lovely week at Cider House. The house is a conversion with interesting original features but well modernised. The location is beautifully rural - but within a ten minute walk to the river and village. We really enjoyed the hot tub. It’s worth noting they have updated the garden furniture - there is now a wicker set with cushions and table, which made the outside very enjoyable. Shower has fantastic pressure. It is surrounded by farmland - which means you can walk between the fields to get to the river/park. I saw deer and hares in this land which was delightful. We also saw lots of hot air balloons and gliders. (The airfield is local and has a cafe so you can watch them take off). There is a bus which takes 25mins to get directly to Stratford which was good. A really good base with loads to drive to in the local area.

AWESOME ACCOMODATION OF A VERY HIGH STANDARD IN LOVLEY LOCATION

THE ACCOMODATION AS ALWAYS WAS AWESOME WE ALWAYS LOVE STAYING HERE AS IT WORKS PERFECTLY FOR US VISITING FAMILY AND FRIENDS. COUPLE OF CHATS WITH OWNER RESOLVED ANY ISSUES AS THEY SUPER HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY.

I KNOW THIS DOES DEPEND ON WEATHER THOUGH THANK U AGAIN FOR MAKING US SO WELCOME AND HOPEFULLY SEE U ALL NEXT YEAR AGAIN

One week stay end of July

Nice barn conversion. As always easier to think of what wasn’t quite right but there was a lot which was right. for some reason could only get BBC channels on the TV, thankfully I was able to use my Netflix subscription. Very high roof space, noticeable cobwebs. High above. Would need a duster on an extendable pole to reach. Shower head needed changing, it sprayed water in pretty much every direction and could not be adjusted. There was a beetle issue, they came out only in the dark, mainly from under the bath, about an inch long. Removed about thirty during our stay. One small area of shelf with glasses on it had been missed in the cleaning process, had quite a few small dead flies on it. But all said we would stay again, the hot tub was great!

A short chillout stay at a warm and cosy Cider House

We booked the Cider House very last minute for a short chillout break before Christmas, The house was clean and tidy and had all the utensils and appliances needed for a self catering stay. The TV was actually larger than shown in the website pictures and is a smart TV complete with streaming apps. The hot tub was great to sit in and gaze at the stars each evening and then back to sit in front of the log burner which provided a warm and cosy atmosphere to relax on the comfortable settees. The main bedroom has plenty of storage and a good size double bed. We found the mattress to be a bit too firm for us, but this is just our preference and we still slept ok. The location of Cider house is great for walks, a pavement along the road gives good access to Bidford village, about a10 minute walk. From there we did a 4 mile circular walk along part of the river Avon and around the edge of the horse gallops, some good views from up there. We would have given full marks but a couple of small things that could be improved on, there were no matches or lighter for the log burner, the TV remote batteries were flat and a bulb blown in the bedside lamp. But overall we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at Cider house.

Lovely scenic quiet location

Comfortable and well equipped with a nice outside area for children and animals to stay safe. Hot tub controls were worn and fiddly and not sure water in hot tub was checked daily by staff....... Lovely scenic quiet location but close enough to walk to amenities. Overall a lovely relaxing week.

Good location but needs cleaning and updating

The location was great for access to day trips with small children. The hot tub was a nice addition and hot tub towels were provided which was good. However, the accommodation was not clean; the bathroom was dusty and had leftover toiletries from previous visitors, it didn’t look like it had been hoovered at all, there were big cobwebs that looked like they had been there a long time, some of the bedding was stained and none of the kitchen equipment had been cleaned. I would say it hadn’t been cleaned at all if it weren’t for the fact the beds had been made up and fresh towels provided. When we arrived we had to clean everything in the kitchen before we could use it and there were only 3 glasses provided for 4 beds. The kitchen equipment also needs updating as most of the plates were chipped and knives were all blunt. The double bed could have been comfier too. We also had a problem with ants, which I understand isn’t necessarily down to the hosts, but we were having to hoover them multiple times a day to keep them under control.
