Guests say
Cider Cottage in Umberleigh is consistently praised for its welcoming atmosphere, with guests highlighting the friendly and helpful owner. The property is described as lovely, comfortable, and well-equipped, offering a peaceful rural retreat. Homemade scones on arrival and interactions with farm animals add to the charm. Despite some minor access issues, guests are eager to return.
The property is repeatedly described as clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating a high standard maintained by the owners.
The location is appreciated for its peacefulness and rural charm, though the single-lane access and pothole are noted. Its proximity to local areas and a supermarket is seen as convenient.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, warm, and quiet, with special mentions of the cosy bedrooms and lounge. The presence of a games room and homely touches contribute to the comfort.
While the reviews mention a well-stocked kitchen and a games room, there is insufficient detail to fully assess the range of facilities and their maintenance.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident from the warm welcome and homemade scones provided on arrival. However, it should be noted that such personal touches, while delightful, may not be guaranteed for every stay.

An absolutely gorgeous week at Cider Cottage - exactly as it says on the tin - a quaint cottage in the middle of nowhere. Mrs Kirby & Co. were great, home is perfectly equipped, nice and warm, a lovely bath. The bedding was of good quality, as was the towels provided. We were welcomed with scones, jam and clotted cream and two pints of milk in the fridge which were very welcome after the 4 hour journey we had from Leicestershire. Unfortunately the weather wasnt on our side, but we would definitely return in summer!
