A great stay in this old property. It was everything that you’d hope for, all mod cons, but squeaky floors, quirky bedrooms upstairs, one of which is really for a child, with a low entrance into the room.The owner told me that they’re looking to renew the boiler, so the faint smell should be gone. For it being an old building it’s very cosy and warm.Ideal if you’re visiting the Three Counties Showground as it’s only a couple of miles away, ( I wouldn’t walk as there’s no pavement.)Nice wee private garden with parking.

We stayed at The Cider Press mainly to visit relatives in the Malvern area, but also to have a short September break. It’s in a good location for accessing attractions in the area and if you are self catering, there are shops in Ledbury and other surrounding villages and towns. The cottage itself is charming and quirky, with the upstairs bedroom(s) particularly so! The rooms are a good size and downstairs is easy to get round. The living room is comfortable to sit in on an evening and the whole cottage felt very warm while we were there. The kitchen is a good size and easy to cook in, though we found the smell of the oil powered boiler in there a little overpowering and had to have the kitchen window wide open all the time we were in. Overall good accommodation, comfortable and safe.
