- Miss Danson, November 2019
“The Cider Press is a wonderful place to stay if you want peace and tranquillity.”

The setting is rural and we had the added bonus of sheep just beside the cottage. They were a pastural addition that we thoroughly enjoyed - endless entertainment. The Cider Press is very comfortable and warm. The facilities are excellent with plenty of kitchen equipment. The only added bonus would be a dishwasher. Jane, who meets you on arrival is very helpful. I would recommend this cottage for a tranquillity, comfort and rural surroundings.

- Mrs Johnston, October 2019
“THE COTTAGE IS ALL THAT WE EXPECTED.”

IT WAS OUR 2ND VISIT, NEED WE SAY MORE. ONE THING THOUGH A DISH WASHER WOULD BE NICE. THERE IS SPACE FOR ONE IN THE KITCHEN

- Mr Foster, September 2019
“This was our second stay at the Cider Press.”

It was just as we'd previously found it, two years ago, clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped. We hope to go back again, before too long.

- Mrs Lander, July 2019
“The Cider Press is a lovely cottage which fully met our expectations.”

It was a bonus to be on the Cadhay Estate with its lovely house, outbuildings and gardens which we could explore. Everything we needed was on hand and the car can be parked right outside the door. The kitchen was fully equipped (except for a dishwasher we would not have used), the lounge was comfortable (fantastic log burner) and the bedroom was a decent size with large comfortable bed.

- Mr Hyder, April 2019
“We’ve stayed at two of the properties at Cadhay, several times over the years, and can say that we’ve always had a great time, been made to feel welcome and cared for every single time.”

The Cider Press is well set up for two people, the views are amazing, and the antics of the sheep are amusing!

- Mrs Horton, November 2018
“The best thing about the holiday was the person on site to manage the property.”

From first contact on the day of booking to last contact on day of leaving - she was outstanding in every way. Thank you

- Rev Littledale, July 2018
“We have already booked a return week for later in the summer.”

That says it all!

- Mrs Hart, June 2018
“Have stayed a Cadhay many times, this was our first stay @the Cider Press and were not disappointed standards are very high.”

Jane and Rupert and the rest of the team very welcoming as always, somewhere we will definitely be returning to.

- Mrs Allen, June 2018
“The Cider Barn was a lovely quaint cottage, Rupert the owner was very helpful and friendly as were all the people at Cadhay.”

We had our little dog with us and there were plenty of places to take her for a walk etc.

- Mr Sutton, May 2018
“This was one of the best holiday cottages we have ever had.”

It was very quiet and peaceful, just what we wanted. The staff at Cadhay were so kind and helpful, the cottage was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The nearby town was close emough to be termed local, and had lovely shops and again the local people were lovely. We really had a great time.

- Mrs Jackson, May 2018
“We love The Cider Press .”

the only holiday cottage we have been back to three times ,everything was perfect even the weather

- Mr PARTRIDGE, May 2018
“Booking was a little haphazard, maybe because of short notice.”

..when tried to book on-line (Monday evening) got email back with a booking confirmation, tried to progress to pay but then couldn't. Email link said to the imminent required date (Friday) that someone would call me, they didn't. I phoned again on Weds to chase and was told (Julia) you'd have to contact the owner, she called back quickly to say it was available (begs a question why this hadn't already been done). Was sent a link to pay on line which would expire in an hour, it didn't work, none of my data was populated and the page would not let me enter any data whatsoever. Another phone call and was directed to the Home web site and guided through the payment process and was finally able to pay. All in all was not the most customer friendly and booking process and I wonder what would have happened if I had not chased on the Wednesday, I suspect nothing. Cottage was fine and as described.
