Comfortable Stay

We had a very pleasant stay at Cider Press Cottage. Very well located and well equipped. The bed needs a new mattress but the rest of the cottage was very comfortable and cosy.

Cider press cottage Ilmington

Our holiday accommodation was excellent. Spacious and very clean. Garden pretty but access under gateway would be tricky with large vehicle. Key safe wouldn't open on arriving fortunately the owner lived next door. It was rather concerning. Villlage delightful as was Red Lion pub where we ate. Community shop and cafe was delightful too.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful village

Loved our week in the Cider Press Cottage. Located in a small dead end road it was quiet and peaceful. The village and the cottage had an excellent display of roses and flowers. The cottage had everything we needed, although you do need to bring any food, milk etc straight away as there is no welcome package like we have had in other places. There are 2 pubs and a village shop (staff where very helpful) Nearest supermarkets are in Stratford upon Avon which is only about 15 mins away. Be sure to visit Chipping Campden which is lovely - Michael's Mediterranean Restaurant is excellent.

Great property in a lovely village.

The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. We appreciated the kindling and wood left for the fire. Ilmington is a lovely village with a good shop/cafe and two excellent pubs. All are within walking distance. Many good walks from the village and plenty of places to visit nearby.

A lovely getaway

Cider Press Cottage is lovely and tucked away within a lovely village. The cottage is within 3 minutes of the local community shop and cafe which was well stocked and very welcoming. The cottage has a great stock of cooking implements and the fire was lovely.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful village location

Cider Press Cottage is comfortable, quiet and situation in a beautiful village in the northern Cotswolds. Facilities are good and rooms are very comfortable. A grill pan and oven gloves are the only things lacking in an otherwise excellent cottage.

Gorgeous Cotswold cottage

Fabulous stay in this gorgeous cottage in a beautiful village. Cottage had everything we could possibly need and was beautifully furnished. Our dog loved the kitchen underfloor heating! Ideal location for visiting several Cotswold villages as well as Stratford on Avon. The local pubs were within walking distance and the Howard Arms serves amazing food!

The house was warm, inviting and comfortable in a beautiful village.

The house was warm and inviting on arrival which is always important to me. The beds and sofas were comfortable and the house had everything you needed from kitchen equipment to several toilet rolls! The village is beautiful and the locals very friendly. Lots of alleyways to walk down to find interesting paths without going too far from the house. The Red Lion was wonderful for a Sunday roast. They had live entertainment in the pub and lots of locals attended. It was great. We will be back.

Peaceful location

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location. The village of Ilmington is quiet, with a super village shop and cafe and a lovely church where they practice bell ringing every other Wednesday, a delight to listen to. The cottage courtyard is a lovely place to sit and enjoy a tea or coffee. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need and an en-suite with both bedrooms is a luxury. However, we didn't realise that we would be unable to watch live tv and needed use catch up instead. We would recommend Cider Press Cottage.

Lovely Cotswold cottage

Cider press cottage is very spacious, well equipped, comfortable and clean. We had a lovely stay here and the village of Ilmington has everything you need and is well placed for seeing all the of the Cotswolds. Some reviews have said there isn’t much of a welcome pack but there was tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits. Also salt and pepper, but what I liked there were plenty of loo rolls, kitchen roll, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and liquid soap and bin bags all the things I often forget. We would definitely return to Cider Press Cottage in the future!

Excellent stay

Perfect cottage, spacious clean and comfortable with high quality furnishings and a heating system which was simple to use, always a bonus. It was actually far larger than the pictures suggest. Wouldn’t hesitate to return. The one and only criticism was that there wasn’t a folder with information about the area Where nearest supermarket is Where nearest petrol station Recommendations etc. I did mention this to the management company and they have passed on my suggestion to the owner.

Lovely New Year in a great location

Our second stay at the Cider Press. The cottage is warm, a lovely space and well equipped. We love the village too. My disappointment was the cleanliness and tiredness of the decor and soft furnishings. I actually took some photos if required. Cobwebs in most of the rooms, water marked picture in twin bathroom, mattress covers that have shrunk so they don't fit the single beds, dusty air vents in bathrooms. The wardrobe door wouldn't shut in the twin room. I would expect a full size toilet roll in each bathroom? The floors in the hall/kitchen could do with a good clean. I love this place but it does need some TLC.

Cider Press Cottage is situated in a quiet lane in the beautiful village of Ilmington.

If you enjoy peace and quiet in a lovely Cotswold Village this is the place for you. Well equipped, cosy and comfortable. Within walking distance to a good local pub, The Red Lion, serving well cooked and reasonably priced meals. Also an excellent village shop and cafe with very friendly and welcoming locals. The only slight disappointment was a lack of a few tea bags to start the day of arrival and no dishwasher or washing machine tablets provided. Just a packet of chocolate biscuits . Not too much of a problem for us but if you were an American tourist who had just flown in the first job would be to find the shop which is closed Sunday and Monday to get supplies. Otherwise we enjoyed our peaceful stay very much, very friendly locals and a touch of English Villages of old.
