Mr Asher
October 2020

“We enjoyed a very peaceful and relaxing break at the Old Cider Mill.”

Providing spacious and well appointed accommodation, it also has the benefit of off road parking. Located near Ludlow the Old Cider Mill provides a great base for exploring this beautiful part of Britain.

“The cottage was very well equipped.”

Very clean and comfortable. There were 2 outside sitting areas with table and chairs. The owners who live next door were friendly and helpful. The position of the cottage was quiet, but very handy for Ludlow and Hereford, as well as National Trust and English Heritage properties.

- Mr Davis, July 2020
Mr Chattell February 2020

“This cottage is in an ideal location to explore several National Trust properties nearby and has lovely countryside views.”

Even though the owners are next door and happy to help if needed, you have total privacy. We stayed at the beginning of March and the cottage kept lovely and warm and cosy, despite the frosty mornings! We would definitely recommend.

Just the right mix of in the country but also close enough to a town. The cottage is clean, modern and well equipped. The owners are on hand if you need them but not at all invasive! Would definitely book again.

The cottage has been beautifully renovated, was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It is also in a very convenient location ( - although we were slightly surprised by the traffic noise when we were in the garden). I would be happy to recommend it to friends.

Mrs Young March 2019

“Everything to a really high standard, well equipped and fabulously quiet location within easy driving distance of Ludlow.”

Did not find the double bed as comfortable as our own but really appreciated the wonderful fire in the living area and overall warmth and ambiance of The Cider Barn.

- Mrs Young, March 2019
Foster February 2019

“Myself and my husband book this fabulous holiday cottage every year for our parents and Aunty.”

They always have a wonderful time. This year was even more special as our mom is sadly suffering from cancer and it was just the perfect break she needed. They were also very blessed with the amazing weather we had back in February. Thank you.

- Foster, February 2019

Very peaceful, cosy and warm. It was very clean and well equipped with everything you really needed.

Mrs Farr December 2018

“The Cottage was perfect for our requirements over the Christmas period.”

The owners had very thoughtfully put up a Christmas tree and left us a bottle of Prosecco & mince pies - very welcoming when we arrived. The Cottage was extremely well finished and clean and extremely well provided for and suited us in terms of location. We would have no hesitation in booking again or recommending to friends.

- Mrs Farr, December 2018

- Mrs Schuring, October 2018

We hope to return in the not too distant future.

- Mrs Cooke, September 2018
Mrs Pollard September 2018

“This cottage is set in a lovely location with very dark skies for those who like stargazing.”

It is a very spacious cottage with a very well equipped kitchen where the owners have thought of everything that you need. The 2 bedrooms upstairs are a good size. The only fault we could find is that we felt that the quilt needed to be larger for the double bed as it kept ending up with one of us having no cover at various times during the night.

- Mrs Pollard, September 2018
Mr King August 2018

“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.”

- Mr King, August 2018
Mrs Cook August 2018

“A very well equipped and comfortable cottage.”

An idea, base for exploring south Shropshire.

- Mrs Cook, August 2018
Miss Urmston August 2018

“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

- Miss Urmston, August 2018
Mr Walker August 2018

“The area was excellent for anyone interested in History or walking.”

So much better than expected. Very good cottage, excellent owners who could not have done more.

- Mr Walker, August 2018
Mrs Potter June 2018

“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.

- Mrs Potter, June 2018

“Extremely comfortable stay, couldn’t have been better, will return.”

Miss Digweed September 2016

“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.

- Bigdave333, July 2016

We are so pleased you enjoyed your holiday at The Old Cider Mill, thank you for taking the time to tell us about it. The situation certainly sounds like the best of both worlds, allowing for some peace and relaxation after getting out and about in the area - wonderful! We certainly hope you return for another visit again very soon. Sykes owner relations

“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.

- Jan771, September 2015

“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.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, August 2013
Rev Slater August 2013

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.

Louise E May 2013

“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.

- Louise E, May 2013
A FlipKey verified reviewer May 2013

“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.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, May 2013
Mr Keightley April 2013

“Fantastic Cottage”

We had a lovely week at the Old Cider Mill. Very well appointed cottage, lovely setting with all the home comforts. Very close to Ludlow and other attractions of the area. Cannot really fault this holiday cottage.

Only 3 miles away is Ludlow, whose medieval street pattern remains almost intact, and provides a fascinating backdrop for the town's regular street markets, held in the shadow of the castle. Ludlow is renowned for its shopping, and has several Michelin-starred restaurants, as well as numerous tea-shops, pubs and inns. Below the 900 year old castle, the Linney Riverside Park offers boats for hire, a putting green and children's play area.
