"Cottage was lovely and clean, and the welcome cider was a nice touch."
The main oven wasn’t working, we informed the owner who was going to get it sorted out.
Great location for exploring the beautiful Shropshire countryside. Ludlow is lovely, and a walk on The Long Mynd is a must.
Nothing to do with the cottage, but we did notice that footpaths in the area are very poorly maintained, forcing us to walk on the busy road and paths were impassable.

The Old cider mill is situated in a quiet location with views of the surrounding fields, anybody would struggle to find fault with this lovely cottage and it’s facilities and equipment, if I was pushed to make a recommendation comment, the only thing that I could say is that the mattress on the double bed is on the soft side whereas my mattress at home is quite firm but it did not stop me and my girlfriend from getting a good night sleep
We both thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend break at the cottage and certainly would recommend it to friends of ours

It was well equipped for our stay. The views both front and back are excellent, and the weather was good enough to take advantage of the seating areas. It is in a lovely village, positioned next to the owners house. Ideally placed to visit the surrounding towns, national trust houses and English heritage. The owners were very friendly and welcoming, the bottles of cider were a very nice touch. The homemade jams, chutneys and pickles paid for with a honesty box were delicious, irresistible and excellent value. All in all we had a great stay and would fully recommend.

"The Old Cider Mill has been refurbished to a high standard the sofas are very comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and the en-suite shower in the main bedroom is good, albeit the doorway into it is a little low."
The house is very remote, there are no footpaths outside it, and Caynham village has no amenities at all, nor is there a bus service, so you need a car, and there is room to park it off road. The wi-fi is hopeless, ranging between slow and non existent. The house is also very dark inside, and very warm too. The table and chairs out the back are lovely, as is the view, but the BBQ has seen better days, and there are too many unwelcome visits from the owners dogs, which was massively disappointing. When outside enjoying the view the ambience is spoilt by the road that runs through the village, which is surprisingly busy, and a little too noisy. In summary, this is a decent place to stay in terms of cleanliness and comfort, but not a memorable one.
Very disappointed with some comments. I offered another bbq but was told it was okay as they used disposable ones, the handle on ours was broken, but we have a new one. There are plenty of walks within 50 yards of the front door and 3 village walks are on printed laminated sheets. The shropshire way is across one of our fields. We are in the countryside and wi-fi is not brilliant.

A quiet rural setting easily accessed through pleasant country lanes. Lovely gardens and colourful planters. Easy access to Ludlow by road or Caynham Park & Ride ((half-hourly). Lots of things to do locally, including castles and foodie destinations (Ludlow provides both) . Steam train enthusiasts will enjoy both the Welshpool/Llanfair light railway and the Severn Valley Railway from Bewdley or Kidderminster. Highly recommended and we hope to make a return visit.

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.
