Self Catering in Herefordshire - Westhope

Perfection!
Wow, what a lucky find! This stunning conversion, where we are currently staying, is a perfect retreat for a couple looking for peaceful luxury. Situated in a quiet hamlet yet close to plenty of towns and attractions, the owners Sue and David have literally thought of everything you might need, in a way that I have never before found in a holiday let. The open plan lounge/dining/kitchen is very spacious and well equipped, with stunning views across the local countryside from one side and a lovely little sun trap balcony. The bed is extremely comfortable and the bathroom is like one in an upmarket hotel, complete with toiletries! What impresses me most is that this conversion has been done with quality fixtures and fittings throughout as if it were a permanent home; it is a gorgeous blend of traditional style and modern comfort which anyone would be proud of were it their home! Sue and David are a delightful couple for whom, you suspect, nothing is too much trouble. The fresh bread, milk, butter and homemade cake on arrival sums up their approach! The amount of local information provided is brilliant and David has even written descriptions of eight walks starting and ending at the cottage - perfect for leisurely exploration of the lovely countryside nearby. We are the first guests to stay here since lockdown three reopening allowed. The cottage was spotless on arrival but also didn?t smell or feel as if it has been unused for months - such is the care taken. We have to leave slightly earlier on departure so that they have additional deep cleaning time for the next guests, and Sue and David have been careful to maintain social distancing when we have met them. The key was in a key safe on arrival. I can?t recommend The Cider Mill highly enough!

Never bettered - one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in
Simply superb. The owners have thought of everything and nothing at all is lacking. Great secluded location. Spotlessly clean and everything you would need for a relaxing and comfortable holiday. Every thing is the highest quality too. The hosts Sue and David are the nicest people, very helpful and there if you needed them. Lovely garden views. The welcoming cake was a much appreciated and unexpected bonus - thanks Sue.

Finest self catering accommodation in England.
The Cider Mill is truly amazing,we had the most relaxing time in 20 years. The owners could not have been friendlier or most helpful, the attention to detail in the accommodation was second to none. The countryside in the Hereford area is outstanding, with no shortage of places to and things to see and do It was so good that we booked to go again next April. If you are looking for a relaxing time with great surroundings, lovely owners and classy accommodation then The Cider Mill cannot be bettered.

5* plus accommodation
Firstly please don't tell everyone about this place, we would like to keep this little bit of paradise just between us..... This has been the best self catering accommodation we have been lucky enough to stay in. It was 5* plus accommodation! The facilities and cleanliness of this property exceeded our expectations. It was so comfortable that we both had an excellent first night sleep, which is unheard of for us, when staying anywhere, and it continued throughout the week. Although a modern shower room and kitchen area, it still managed to maintain the feel of a traditional barn conversion. The balcony/terrace area was lovely to sit out on and relax or have a bite to eat. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful, nothing would have been too much trouble, but they were not intrusive! It was a lovely base from which to explore this part of the country. Thank you x
