Confirmed Guest
Cider barn was a really lovely place to stay when we were on holiday and was in a beautiful location. The play area was a great addition for children and the homemade cake, fresh flowers and milk were really appreciated. Very clean and well stocked with everything you need and beds very comfy. It could benefit from a bit of tlc in terms of new blinds as several were broken, and the sealant around bath/showers being redone but these are very small jobs. Overall a fantastic place to stay, thank you.
