The property was as described - very comfortable beds, peaceful and tranquil in a lovely setting. Oakchurch Farm shop was great, and only a few minute's drive away. Overall a lovely base for exploring the area and great to come back to afterwards.

Luxury in the country

This is the most comfortable and luxurious holiday house we have rented. We relaxed so quicklyon arrival and were so sorry to leave. Local walks were in abundance and Oakchurch Farm shop is a must while The Swan at Letton is also worth a visit. Can’t wait for our next staycation!

Thank you for leaving us a 5 star review. I agree the Cider Mill is 'luxury in the country'. Lots of thought went into creating this haven in Herefordshire. Superb king size beds and luxury linen, spacious bedrooms and all ensuite and a wonderful open plan sitting room/kitchen with views over the mature beautiful enclosed garden. Walking from the door, a superb farmshop at the top of the lane and a choice of good pubs within 5 minutes drive. As one of our guests said 'the property is top notch'. Please come back and stay with us again. Best wishes

Would recommend ‘Cidermill’. It’s cleanliness, comfort & amenities are top-notch. Even on a cloudy day the cottage brims with sunlight.

Stay for the Hay festival

The Cider Mill is fantastic. Easy check in (keys on the table), welcome milk, cakes and other goodies. Accommodation perfect for our group of three couples - three ensuite bedrooms is so convenient when staying with friends. Bedding and beds super comfy. And, a great outdoor space as well. What's not to love!

Relaxing break

Six friends with much to catch up on so a good deal of time spent in this lovely cottage round the kitchen table. The welcome hamper was especially appreciated and as we quickly discovered the bedrooms and general layout was spacious and beautifully maintained.The gardens were also a special delight with ample parking for three cars. Excellent meals at fairly local pubs and the most outstanding Garden Centre called Oakchurch was a a real find. We won't hesitate to book again.

What a fabulous 5 Star Review. I can imagine you all gathered around the elm dining table from India swopping stories and sipping wine. Hopefully the french doors were open and you could hear the birds and smell the scents of the lovely blooms? Yes I agree Oakchurch is something out of the ordinary. Isnt the Cider Mill lucky to be only 1.8 miles away from it! Come back and stay again very soon. Best wishes

The Cider Mill was idylic!

The Cider Mill was so luxurious, beautifully designed, well kitted and such a beautiful setting. The gardens are outstanding. Close to fantastic walks. A perfect setup for family. Cozy and light. We were able to enjoy many home cooked meals with friends (all very jealous of our place) and relax in the garden. We wanted for nothing during our stay. The host and her helpers were great. Communication was so easy. Lovely neighbors. We recommended to serveral of our UK family and hope we can return sometime in the future.

A real home from home. Having used such properties many times in the past, this is probably the best equipped one we have used. Also plenty of the little bits you need in the kitchen. There was plenty of room for our group of 6. The location was great as a base for exploring the surrounding area. The garden area was lovely to sit out in with many colourful and fragrant plants. The renter also sent us an app about the property before we arrived which was full of useful info about the property but also local attractions, walks, eating places. Never seen this innovation before in other properties we have used. All in all, a great stay and we would have no hesitation in using again and recommending to others

So pleased you enjoyed our 3 double bedroom 3 bathroom cottage which is fantastic for small families and groups. The garden is a gem and appealing at all times of year. There is so much to discover within 20 minutes drive of The Cider Mill. I look forward to welcoming you again very soon, with best wishes

“Charming cottage in tranquil location”

Cozy, bright and beautifully decorated cottage, located in the quiet countryside, near Hereford, where a family of three relaxed in the mature gardens and connected with nature. The spacious open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area was ideal, as our daughter is a wheelchair user. The beds were super comfy and we experienced the best sleep ever after long walks with our Labrador exploring the amazing countryside and orchards. No hesitation in returning and would highly recommend.

Fabulous week with family

We had a fabulous week at The Cider Mill. Spacious but cosy accommodation which catered for us, our two adult daughters and our ageing Labrador perfectly. Beautifully decorated and furnished with everything we needed and more! The welcome pack on arrival was far more than we expected and hugely appreciated, it gave us a taste of what the local farm shop had to offer which we visited daily for essential and non essential provisions! The garden is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. The Portway Inn has great options for veggies too. We would definitely book again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. A visitors book would be a apt addition to the property. Thank you for a lovely week.

Thank you for giving us the full 5 stars. The team really do appreciate it and it demonstrates we are doing our job! Yes the Cider Mill is cosy and spacious and well equipped. Oakchurch the farmshop at the top of the lane is such a bonus. The garden is a haven and a lovely spot to relax in. The visitors book has been put away because of COVID but will think about reintroducing it. Best wishes

Beautiful house, setting and relaxing break

We have recently returned from a week's break at Cider Mill cottage (family of four including 2 children aged 16 and 11). The house was beautiful and the gardens were absolutely stunning. Like so many others, we haven't had a family break for over a year so we were all really looking forward to this week and weren't disappointed; the house was immaculate and had everything we needed - including 2 fans running when we arrived which was a lovely touch given the hot weather we had that week. The kids loved the large beds in the bedrooms and having their own en-suite bathrooms - a real touch of luxury! They (as well as the adults) also loved having access to the pool table and table tennis table in the games room and the badminton set provided - we had a running games tournament the whole time we were there! I particularly enjoyed sitting out in the sun first thing in the morning with a cup of tea before anyone else got up looking at the stunning flowers and listening to the birds. Thank you so much for letting us stay here - would highly recommend as a relaxing break.

What a wonderful 5 star review. Thank you. The Cider Mill is a luxurious property in the most wonderful location with 3 en suite bedrooms. It is highly furnished and appointed and I know you appreciated and enjoyed 'the real touch of luxury'. The games room, playing field and table tennis room are great places to let off steam or relax at the end of the day and of course the beautiful garden is a haven for wildlife and us. Come back and stay with us again please. Best wishes
