We’ve had the most relaxing and enjoyable break. We did visit some local attractions and were pleased with friendly atmosphere and food in all. The Old Forge Garway, The Garway Moon, Trippenkennitt Farm anglers ponds, Garway Hill lookout and a very nice Garden Centre. However, we could quite happily have just stayed at the Cider Mill enjoying the view. Our 15yr old grandson, loved the fishing and lived in the Hot Tub. Will we visit again? Yes without a doubt. Russ and all his family made us feel so welcome.

Such a great place amongst fabulous views. The hot tub was kept very clean and checked every day. Lesley, the host, was very friendly and approachable, as was Russ also. The barn had everything we needed, even included towels for the hot tub. A very peaceful setting but places like Hereford and Ross-on-Wye were within a 30 min drive. Would definitely recommend this accommodation.
