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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
