We booked the Cider House very last minute for a short chillout break before Christmas, The house was clean and tidy and had all the utensils and appliances needed for a self catering stay. The TV was actually larger than shown in the website pictures and is a smart TV complete with streaming apps.
The hot tub was great to sit in and gaze at the stars each evening and then back to sit in front of the log burner which provided a warm and cosy atmosphere to relax on the comfortable settees. The main bedroom has plenty of storage and a good size double bed. We found the mattress to be a bit too firm for us, but this is just our preference and we still slept ok.
The location of Cider house is great for walks, a pavement along the road gives good access to Bidford village, about a10 minute walk. From there we did a 4 mile circular walk along part of the river Avon and around the edge of the horse gallops, some good views from up there.
We would have given full marks but a couple of small things that could be improved on, there were no matches or lighter for the log burner, the TV remote batteries were flat and a bulb blown in the bedside lamp. But overall we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at Cider house.

Nice barn conversion. As always easier to think of what wasn’t quite right but there was a lot which was right.
for some reason could only get BBC channels on the TV, thankfully I was able to use my Netflix subscription.
Very high roof space, noticeable cobwebs. High above. Would need a duster on an extendable pole to reach.
Shower head needed changing, it sprayed water in pretty much every direction and could not be adjusted.
There was a beetle issue, they came out only in the dark, mainly from under the bath, about an inch long. Removed about thirty during our stay.
One small area of shelf with glasses on it had been missed in the cleaning process, had quite a few small dead flies on it.
But all said we would stay again, the hot tub was great!

We had a lovely stay in this property, it has everything needed for a relaxing break. We made the most of the hot tub even in November, and the log burner was great to keep us warm and cosy in the evenings. The provision of towelling robes, extra towels and flip flops when using the hot tub was really appreciated. The location is great for exploring the north of the Cotswolds and Stratford on Avon. The nearest village at Bidford on Avon has a lovely cafe in the centre and walks along the river Avon.

Had a lovely couple of days in the Cider Barn. Lovely lodgings, and the hot tub was a real plus. Easy access to Stratford-upon-Avon, with some nice country pubs close by.

Beautiful conversion, fully equipped with everything we needed. We used the hot tub and the extra touches with dressing gowns, flip flops and beach towels were a lovely luxury.
Great location with lovely views and privacy.
Highly recommend.

THE ACCOMODATION AS ALWAYS WAS AWESOME WE ALWAYS LOVE STAYING HERE AS IT WORKS PERFECTLY FOR US VISITING FAMILY AND FRIENDS. COUPLE OF CHATS WITH OWNER RESOLVED ANY ISSUES AS THEY SUPER HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY. WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND THAT THE GRASS IS CUT BEFORE NEW RESIDENTS COME IN AS IT WAS VERY PRICKLY AND THE DOGS AND CHILDREN HAD A FEW PRICKED FEET. I KNOW THIS DOES DEPEND ON WEATHER THOUGH
THANK U AGAIN FOR MAKING US SO WELCOME AND HOPEFULLY SEE U ALL NEXT YEAR AGAIN

Nice property, larger than you would expect from the photos. Garden was great for the dog and fully enclosed.Property was very comfortable and the hot tub was a nice touch, just a shame we only stayed 2 nights. Overall the property was clean but we did find the oven, grill pan and some cutlery hadn't been cleaned.
Really enjoyed our stay and would like to return for a little longer next time.

If you are after a comfortable retreat away from noise and light pollution this is ideal. Two double sofas and a large modern TV passed away the evenings and the hot tub is superb. An ideal location central to walks and the beautiful surroundings.
The cottage would benefit from a more thorough clean however and was 'welcomed' with a slight damp dog smell.
Overall happy to recommend a stay here assuming the owners react to the above

WE HAVE STOPPED AT CIDER HOUSE A NUMBER OF TIMES NOW AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PLEASURE. LOVLEY LOCATION AND AWESOME ACCOMODATION WITH THOSE LITTLE EXTRA TOUCHES LIKE BATH ROBES IN EACH ROOM FOR USE IF YOU DECIDE TO USE THE HOT TUB. THERE ARE SHOWER CAPS, SHAMPOO, SHOWER/BATH GEL ALL FOR YOUR USE AND WONDERFUL FLUFFY TOWELS. AS SOON AS YOU ARRIVE YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF A CUP OF COFFEE OR TEA AS THESE ARE ALL PROVIDED AS WELL AS MILK IN THE FRIDGE!!
ONLY RECOMMENDATION I WOULD MAKE IS AN UMBRELLA FOR THE TABLE AND CHAIRS OUTSIDE.
THE GARDEN IS DOG FRIENDLY AND ENSURES THE LITTLE FUR BABIES CANNOT ESCAPE SO ANOTHER STRESS TAKEN AWAY.
THE OWNER IS EASILY CONTACTABLE AND NOTHING IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE.
WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WILL DEFINATELY BE STAYING AGAIN

Nice property, lovely outlook, hot tub was great. However, on arrival there was evidence of previous renters and windows could have been cleaned over, the tin opener doesn’t work, heating is not straight forward and there was no guide and the recycling system should be made clearer with separate bins.
