A comfortable and well-equipped cottage in a lovely location
Nice, well presented cottage in the most beautiful village of Ilmington
Absolutely loverly the cottage had everything we needed and more loved it
We loved Cider Press cottage and the location, Ilmington, and hope to return. Also plenty of scope for dog walking, in spite of restrictions due to sheep and farmland, my dog, Morgan loved it.
More comfortable furniture and some shade would enhance the outdoor experience.
This was our second visit to The Cider Press. It is a comfortable, clean, well appointed cottage in the beautiful village of Ilmington. Plenty of local walks, a couple of pubs and a community-run shop with a cafe means you don't have to travel far for anything if you don't want to.
Marvelous, clean, well equipped cottage in stunning Village surrounded by awesome walks. What else do you need to know..... oh yes, great village store too, and quiet as a silent man in a monestary on wind free mountaintop.
Beautifully situated, and very well appointed.
Fantastic cottage full of character, well laid out, very clean, great location in a lovely village, and allows dogs.
A delightful cottage in an very peaceful village ideal spot to explore the beautiful cotswolds.
As usual a very high standard
We wanted a cottage on one level and Cider Press was excellent as it was also so spacious. The kitchen was well equipped with everything accessible. The cottage is in a very quiet area and the surrounding areas are beautiful. We had a thoroughly enjoyable mini break.
Well appointed, clean cottage in a lovely village. Excellent starter pack full of local produce.
V well appointed & cosy cottage with every comfort provided. Plenty of facilities in the kitchen with more than enough tableware and cooking utensils etc so we felt it was home from home. We hope to return.
Great little cottage, in a lovely area. 2 great pubs within easy walking distance, and lots of great walking as well. Small garden area but great for sitting with a nice bottle and enjoying the peace. The cottage is very well appointed, and a superb welcome package supplied which was a very nice surprise. We had a superb time and I’m sure will visit again 😀
Great cottage! Great weather! Great holiday!
This was our second time at Cider Press, the only time that we have returned to a Rural Retreats cottage though they have all been good. The reason for our return was because the property is on one level, though more like a cottage than a bungalow, and suits my 88-year old mother who comes with me and my husband. Furthermore, she prefers a traditional bath while we like a shower. Most unusually, the master bedroon has an en suite shower room and the twin-bedded room a bath which is perfect for our needs. The third separate toilet makes getting ready to go out so easy. The living room is comfortable and well provided with games if needed. The kitchen too is excellently equipped as you come to expect with RR cottages. The housekeeper does a fabulous job. My husband described the cleanliness of our bathroom as 'clinical' and the welcome hamper was used to the full. We used the garden twice for eating out. The June weather was gloriously hot and we were able to settle under the shade of the tree in the pretty garden for our meals. As well as being near many places of interest in the Cotswolds, Cider Press cottage is in a super location for quiet village life with two nearby pubs and pleasant walks as well as a cooperatively run village shop with high end produce and cards. The only reason I cannot allocate five stars is because of a problem with the water supply possibly caused, we were told, by the building of some new houses on the edge of the village where there was a mishap. Unfortunately, this meant that on returning on our first night, there was no water. Instructions in the cottage about the stopcock are confusing so we tried both under the sink and behind the bath panel to no avail. Finally, on asking a neighbour, we were told that this had happened to all of the houses before on more than one occasion leading to the local water company delivering large numbers of water bottles to doorsteps. It was difficult getting through the first night and wondering what might happen the next day. Due to a kitchen tap being mounted the wrong way round, we were woken by gushing water from that tap when normal service was resumed. Luckily, we were able to continue with our holiday.The previous guests also mentioned the water being cut off the day before our visit. Obviously, this is beyond the control of the owners of Cider Press but they do need to be aware, as do Rural Retreats, of the hardship suffered by no water.
Thank you for your review and lovely comments about Cider Press. The problem with the water was indeed an emergency and the first thing that we knew about it was when our housekeepers saw the bottles on the door step. As you say this was totally beyond our control but we do appreciate that it will have affected your stay..
It was our second visit to our favourite Rural Retreat cottage.The cottage suits us perfectly,being all on the ground floor and extremely comfortable. It is located in an idyllic Cotswold village with a convenient volunteer run shop and cafe and we hope to visit again.
A lovely cottage, very clean and well equipped.
