The Cider House is a beautiful property in a fantastic location. Easy access to Clee Liberty Common and walks on Brown Clee Hill. Lots to see in the local area such as Stokesay Castle, Acton Scott Heritage Farm and Ludlow Castle, just a short drive away. The Cider House was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking and eating in. There is a sunny patio area with good views. Plenty of diverse local wildlife and friendly and helpful hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the Cider House.

A very comfortable cottage in a beautiful area. The lovely garden was completely secure so I had no concerns about our dog escaping. The views are glorious and it was so peaceful. Excellent walks from the property with stunning views over to Wales - this is a sheep farm so dogs must be kept on leads. John and Megan were perfect hosts and were there to answer any questions we had. Shops, eateries etc are a drive away and the country roads can be quite challenging but that’s a price worth paying for the location.
