“We arrived a little later than we had anticipated, Lynda showed us to The Cider Loft a beautifully converted apple store dating from the 18h century and made sure we were acquainted with all the amenities.”

We were pleasantly surprised to find that the loft was stocked with the essentials to start our holiday so we didn't have to rush out to buy provisions for our first night, the essentials included a delicious lemon-flavored cake. ...

We were pleasantly surprised to find that the loft was stocked with the essentials to start our holiday so we didn't have to rush out to buy provisions for our first night, the essentials included a delicious lemon-flavored cake. The loft was spotless and equipped with all the necessities of modern life, including a fast broadband connection. This property is by far the best holiday accommodation that we have been offered by Sykes. It should be noted that the property is reached by a series of steps, not too steep or difficult but may be problematic for people with mobility issues.

“ALL MOST PERFECT”
Mrs Cargill June 2019

“This was a lovely holiday let, very comfortable and clean with everything you could want.”

The owner kindly left us a yummy cake and basic groceries, which was very thoughtful, even our dog Ruby got a pot of biscuits! It’s was in a good location for river activities and places of interest, with a restaurant across the road and 3 pubs within walking distance. For dog owners, all the pubs are dog friendly, even the Potting Shed restaurant has a table inside where you can sit with your dog, or there is the garden if it’s booked. Overall we had a very good week and we highly recommend the Cider Loft.

“Cottage was very comfortable.”

Very pleasant gardens with steam running through. Hosts Linda and David were very helpful and great conversationalists.
Mr Ford May 2019

“This is a very attractive, comfortable and well-appointed cottage attached to the owner's house.”

It is all on one level with a couple of steps from the front door up into the bedroom, the living room or the bathroom however there are a lot of steps to navigate to reach the front door with could be an issue for some people although the owner kindly offered us help with our luggage. There is another cottage underneath this one that was unoccupied while we were there. The very neat and tidy back garden that opens off the main living space rises steeply up the hill and is quite heavily shaded. A table and two chairs and a barbecue are provided. The owners, David and Lynda, are a delightful couple who were very discrete but almost always available if needed. The cottage is ideally located for the very beautiful river Wye and surrounding areas - we particularly liked the Saracens Head pub which is just a short drive away in Symonds Yat East and overlooks a particularly lovely part of the river - however traffic noise from the nearby dual carriageway can be heard in the background 24 hours a day inside the cottage, although it wasn't loud enough to spoil our stay. Lynda made sure that everything that could be needed was in the cottage, including milk, tea, coffee, bread and butter and she baked a delicious lemon drizzle cake. All in all we had a lovely time here and we would recommend this cottage for one or two people.

“Had a great time every thing was perfect except no cream rugs or carpets with dogs”
Mrs Raybould October 2018

“A little gem.”

Very friendly owners who didn't intrude but were there if needed.A welcoming gift of home made bread & cake plus milk butter & marmalade. Didn't use car the whole week.Would highly recommend.5 Star's.
Mr Parry-Jones August 2018

“Quaint former Apple store has been transformed into a cute holiday home with everything.”

A one bedroom getaway that’s ideal for dog owners with a secure orchard/garden to the rear and all of the Forest of Dean on your doorstep. Comes with permanent hot water, a surprise welcome package to get you going, plus dishwasher tablets, loo rolls, salt and pepper and even a hair dryer! Very comfy, very convenient and the cherry on the cake was The Potting Shed gourmet restaurant just yards away, Symonds Yat an easg walk and a well stocked grocers at the heart of the village!

About the location

WHITCHURCH, HEREFORDSHIRE

Symonds Yat 0.5 miles; Monmouth 4 miles; Ross-on-Wye 7 miles.

The village of Whitchurch lies between the small market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, on the edge of the Royal Forest of Dean. Boasting lovely walks in every direction, Whitchurch has a thriving village shop and coffee shop selling locally sourced products, a pub and a restaurant. Just a short distance away is Symonds Yat, a pretty Herefordshire village, which straddles the River Wye, home to the magnificent natural limestone rock popular with wildlife enthusiasts and climbers, as well as a Butterfly Farm and Maze. The Royal Forest of Dean, England's largest oak forest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, boasts many outdoor activities, including horseback riding, abseiling, caving, numerous cycle routes and a high wire rope course. Other activities on offer for the less energetic include fishing, golf and kayaking to name just a few. Close by is the pretty village of Goodrich with its 12th century Marcher Castle, village shop and two pubs both serving good food. The historic town of Monmouth is well worth a visit with its mixture of Georgian mansions and Victorian courtyards, while the riverside town of Ross-on-Wye has many timbered Tudor buildings, riverside walks and excellent shops, pubs and restaurants. Day trips can be enjoyed to the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons National Park, the unspoilt Malvern Hills, Hereford and Hay-on-Wye.
