The Cider Mill Reviews

Robert
Great hosts lovely place to stay Thank you
Pauline
This is a hidden gem set in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside. The cottage is lovely, very comfortable and relaxing. The hosts, Sue and David, are so welcoming and anxious to ensure the you feel completely at home in their beautiful cottage. The cottage is set in their fabulous garden which you are encouraged to explore. We can thoroughly recommend this cottage and would love to return in the future.
A delightful cottage for 2 ideally situated for exploration of Herefordshire, especially churches. Amiable owners happy to oblige with any requests and to make recommendations for visits, eating out etc. Home made cake on arrival was an absolute delight almost worth going back just for that!
The Cider Mill is a high quality, cosy and extremely comfortable holiday home, made even more wonderful by the warm hospitality of the owners, David and Sue, who are on hand to welcome you and make everything so lovely, thank you so much! This was our second stay, and we hope not the last!
Could not fault anything about the cider mill. This was our first time in a 1 bedroom property,but any worries about lack of space were quickly dispelled, as there is plenty of space for two Adults. Also recommend the grounds to stroll through.
Kenneth
This is a wonderful place, warm and comfortable, with all you need for a stay. The surroundings are restful with sheep in the fields behind that you can go and walk among. Apple and pear trees are in the garden which we were welcome to pick from. The owners are delightful people, and David was so helpful to us when we had the crisis of car breakdown on the day before we were due to leave. Sue's cake to greet us on arrival was marvelous. One of the best places we have ever stayed cannot recommend it highly enough. Ken and Helen Scott
Super property in beautiful surroundings. David and Sue are fabulous hosts, they have thought of so many things to make staying there an absolute pleasure. We had a wonderful relaxing week and were sad to leave. This really is a 5 star property and 5 star hosts. Thank you David & Sue for a really lovely week. We look forward to visiting again.

Lovely place, lovely, friendly people. Beautiful setting and an excellent base for visiting Hereford.
We loved staying at the Cider Mill. So many thoughtful and stylish touches, perfect size for two, lovely sitting out spaces, and the Kindest Hosts Ever. The cottage is pretty, clean, and welcoming, with lovely bedding and bath linens. The kitchen was very well equipped. Bed supremely comfortable, as is all the sitting area furniture. The setting is very peaceful, and well suited for walking, sightseeing, or lazing. I cant say enough good things about Sue and David, who clearly enjoy hosting and making sure their guests are happy. All in all, The Cider Mill will be a very tough act ti follow.
We had a really enjoyable week in The Cider Mill. Sue and David were most welcoming and knowledgeable hosts. The accommodation was outstanding surrounded by lovely countryside.

Lovely property, so peaceful. Thanks to Judith for her meet and greet in the absence of our hosts Sue and David, who were away Sue came to see us on their return to check we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Easy to get to lots of different places , lots of guidebooks and directions We had a great break the brilliant weather was another bonus! and would like to revisit the area in the future
Suzanne
A superb property in an idyllic setting overlooking fields and the owners beautifully maintained garden. I received a very warm welcome from the owners friend Judith and was very grateful for the generous welcome bread, butter, milk and cake. As a lone traveller I felt very comfortable in the property which is ideally situated for a quiet relaxing break but close enough to some very interesting National Trust properties, gardens open to the public, the Antique shops of Leominster and the lovely town and Foodhall of Ludlow. I felt it was a property I would certainly like to visit again to be able to enjoy all of the sights the area offers and I would have no hesitation in recommending the Cider Mill. Special thanks to Sue and David for the farewell chat and coffee.
An outstanding property with every comfort available to guests. Thoughtful and wonderfully warm hosts. Everything in the cottage was high quality which made for the most relaxing and perfect break. Amazing location with stunning views. Highly recommend.
Clean and comfortable in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Wouldnt hesitate to return.
Carole
A wonderful location for a relaxing holiday. The Cider Mill is extremely well equipped and comfortable. A little gem of a historical building. David and Sue were extremely welcoming and helpful to ensure we got the most from our stay.
We just returned from a delightful stay at The Cider Mill, and can't stop smiling thinking about it! From the moment we arrived, it felt like our own little slice of paradise. Walking through the door, we were greeted by a cozy and inviting atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home. The decor is charming and perfectly reflects the warmth of the countryside. We loved curling up in the spacious living room after our adventures, and the kitchen was a dream! It had everything we needed to whip up some hearty meals, and the lovely patio was great for soaking in the stunning views while sipping coffee. The location is just perfect. Tucked away in a peaceful spot, it felt like a true getaway, yet we were just a short drive from some fantastic local attractions. What really stood out to us was the hospitality. David and Sue went above and beyond to make our stay special, from thoughtful touches like fresh flowers to sharing their favourite local spots to visit. It really felt like they cared about making our experience unforgettable. If youre looking for a cozy and charming place to escape to, we cant recommend The Cider Mill enough. Were already dreaming of our next visit!
We had a fabulous stay at the Cider Mill at the start of December. The cottage was perfect, very cosy and comfortable with everything we needed and in a lovely, quiet location with walks from the door. The hosts were the icing on the cake, so warm, welcoming and helpful. Absolutely recommended.
