“Owners have invested in quality ...”

Owners have invested in quality fixtures, fittings and furniture. The kitchen is particularly well equipped, especially as this is a very foodie part of the country.

“It was very comfortable and well ...”

It was very comfortable and well furnished to a high standard. Our biggest problem was with the cooking facilities It was a high class cooker I think and we worked out how to work the oven but the halogen hob was really complicated and the owner although extremely helpful with every thing else could not help with this. We did eventually find some written instructions but still had difficulties and we are both used to cooking Other wise it was excellent

The cider mill was a very lovely cottage and very nice owners and lots of space, the only thing i would have liked to have had was a pint of milk so we could have had a cup of tea before going to get our groceries also some new firmer mattresses would be a welcome.

“The holiday cottage was beautiful ...”

The holiday cottage was beautiful and spotlessly clean. It was furnished to a very high standard and everything you would have at home was there; we could have happily moved in for good! It was located next to the owners house and they were welcoming and friendly and even offered to even take us into town one evening, so kind and thoughtful. Two bottles of cider on the table on arrival were very welcomed and a reminder that this had once been the cider press. The location was so peaceful, no noise just birdsong and the cows on the hill mooing. From here it was easy to get to the rest of Shropshire with Ludlow 4 miles away along with two main supermarkets and petrol station, lots of independent pubs and restaurants. We would definitely go back, perhaps in the autumn to do some more of the many beautiful walks, some from the cottage doorstep. We had glorious weather which was not ideal for big walks but perfect for enjoying the views from the cottage with a glass of wine in the evening, after a long day exploring all the many beautiful towns and sites.

The cottage and its owners were lovely. Quiet, great location. Spotlessly clean. Good facilities. A lovely break.

“The Old Cider Mill had been ...”

The Old Cider Mill had been transformed into a high quality holiday cottage and equipped with everything you could wish for. The hosts were friendly and helpful and the area beautiful, full of black and white period houses. Ludlow, with its castle, many places to eat local food, and various markets was worth several visits, but the nearby towns and villages all had special places of interest. The scenery, especially over the Clee Hills, was panoramic and we would recommend this area to anyone.

- Miss Digweed, September 2016
“Relaxing Holiday”

Spent an enjoyable week here with some good friends, weather was very hot (perhaps too hot). The cottage is in a quiet spot but it only takes 10 minutes to drive into Ludlow. The owners are more than helpful if there is anything you need. There are some good walks to go on if you are feeling energetic. All in all very good holiday.

“Best place to stay near Ludlow”

This is the most idilic place we have stayed in. Modern features with the rustic barn convertion feeling. Clean accommodation with good amenities. Very friendly owners and ideal location to see the local sites. Set in beautiful surroundings and very quiet with lots of good walks.

“Amazing cottage in beautiful location”

This is the best cottage we have stayed in. It has been renovated and fitted out to a very high standard and is spotlessly clean, and very spacious and comfortable. The owners are very friendly and helpful and live in the house next door. There is also another holiday accommodation in the same yard but The Cider Mill has its own parking for two cars right outside the front door and so has no interference from other guests. The area is really quiet and is surrounded by gardens and farmland with lovely views over the fields. Although there was no pub or restaurant in the village it is only a short drive to nearby pubs and Ludlow is 10 mins away by car and a supermarket / petrol station about 5 mins away. Wifi is available in this property.We highly recommend this holiday accommodation.

“Lovely Cottage”

Everything in the cottage was great. Internet access was also brilliant. Everything you could possibly want was supplied. The only downside for us was the lack of eating places - you needed a car, the local pubs were not up to much - so we chose to eat in.

“This property is superb!!!”

On arrival, the owner greeted us immediately (lives next door). Explained history of the Mill and gave us a brief rundown of amenities etc. If we experienced any problems, he was only next door and would sort things out. the property was immaculate; beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated - cant think of anything we required which was not there! We could quite happily live there. Mill situated on small hill with beautiful views. Very quiet, with Ludlow and other attractions close by. Loved it.

“I'm Longing To Go Back”

We've only been home a week and I'm already feeling "home"sick for The Old Cider Mill. It's an 18th century building, with lots of beams in evidence, but done up in a contemporary style, with modern wooden floors (so no awkward floor levels and steps to catch you out). The living room seating, and the beds were all very comfortable. The conversion was done in summer 2012. There are wonderful views from all windows, looking out on to the glorious south Shropshire countryside, and the cottage is surrounded by fields with ancient fruit trees in them and patches of woodland.

“Peaceful holiday retreat.”

Had a short break at The Cider Mill in March 2013, on the weekend we had the heavy snowfall! Arrived quite late due to weather and the owner gave us directions to the property and waited outside for us. The property itself was stunning. A great mix of traditional old beams etc, along with modern interior. Everything you could wish for is supplied, we even had a couple of bottles of cider left for us. The surrounding area has plenty of places to visit, definitely go to Ironbridge as it is the most beautiful place. All in all, will highly recommend a stay at The Cider Mill.
