Great property in a lovely village.

The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. We appreciated the kindling and wood left for the fire. Ilmington is a lovely village with a good shop/cafe and two excellent pubs. All are within walking distance. Many good walks from the village and plenty of places to visit nearby.

Beautiful Ilmington

We had a fantastic time, staying in Cider press cottage. The accommodation was absolutely perfect! Clean, comfortable and met all of our needs. The village of Ilmington is picturesque and very friendly. We really had the very best time, I just wished our stay had been longer.

Lovely New Year in a great location

Our second stay at the Cider Press. The cottage is warm, a lovely space and well equipped. We love the village too. My disappointment was the cleanliness and tiredness of the decor and soft furnishings. I actually took some photos if required. Cobwebs in most of the rooms, water marked picture in twin bathroom, mattress covers that have shrunk so they don't fit the single beds, dusty air vents in bathrooms. The wardrobe door wouldn't shut in the twin room. I would expect a full size toilet roll in each bathroom? The floors in the hall/kitchen could do with a good clean. I love this place but it does need some TLC.

A lovely getaway

Cider Press Cottage is lovely and tucked away within a lovely village. The cottage is within 3 minutes of the local community shop and cafe which was well stocked and very welcoming. The cottage has a great stock of cooking implements and the fire was lovely.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful village location

Cider Press Cottage is comfortable, quiet and situation in a beautiful village in the northern Cotswolds. Facilities are good and rooms are very comfortable. A grill pan and oven gloves are the only things lacking in an otherwise excellent cottage.

Gorgeous Cotswold cottage

Fabulous stay in this gorgeous cottage in a beautiful village. Cottage had everything we could possibly need and was beautifully furnished. Our dog loved the kitchen underfloor heating! Ideal location for visiting several Cotswold villages as well as Stratford on Avon. The local pubs were within walking distance and the Howard Arms serves amazing food!

Cider Press Cottage is situated in a quiet lane in the beautiful village of Ilmington.

If you enjoy peace and quiet in a lovely Cotswold Village this is the place for you. Well equipped, cosy and comfortable. Within walking distance to a good local pub, The Red Lion, serving well cooked and reasonably priced meals. Also an excellent village shop and cafe with very friendly and welcoming locals. The only slight disappointment was a lack of a few tea bags to start the day of arrival and no dishwasher or washing machine tablets provided. Just a packet of chocolate biscuits . Not too much of a problem for us but if you were an American tourist who had just flown in the first job would be to find the shop which is closed Sunday and Monday to get supplies. Otherwise we enjoyed our peaceful stay very much, very friendly locals and a touch of English Villages of old.

Lovely cottage in the Cotswolds

Well equipped and confortable cottage in the Cotswolds. We had a lovely time. The cottage is very calm and well located near the village shop . Lacking instructions on the heating system that was either off or too hot .

The house was warm, inviting and comfortable in a beautiful village.

The house was warm and inviting on arrival which is always important to me. The beds and sofas were comfortable and the house had everything you needed from kitchen equipment to several toilet rolls! The village is beautiful and the locals very friendly. Lots of alleyways to walk down to find interesting paths without going too far from the house. The Red Lion was wonderful for a Sunday roast. They had live entertainment in the pub and lots of locals attended. It was great. We will be back.

Cider Press cottage outstanding location & presentation.

Visiting from Australia & first time to the Cotswolds which has been a bucket list destination for some time & was not disappointed. The cottage was as described very comfortable & clean & well equipped for every occasion. Ilmington as a location is to die for, very friendly & steeped in history as well as close to major attractions such as Bourton on the Water, Stratford upon Avon & numerous small villages along the way. For a longer excursion, Castle Coombe was well worth the visit.The Bell Inn at Alderminster was a favourite pub with excellent meals. A suggestion for the cottage is that the ensuite shower needed a non slip safety mat which we purchased as it was quite slippery, there was one in the bath. We understand that renovations are planned for the bathroom which would negate having a shower over the bath without any type of screen. Would definitely return again & have no hesitation in recommending Cider Press Cottage for anyone travelling to the Cotswolds.

Lovely Cotswold cottage

Cider press cottage is very spacious, well equipped, comfortable and clean. We had a lovely stay here and the village of Ilmington has everything you need and is well placed for seeing all the of the Cotswolds. Some reviews have said there isn’t much of a welcome pack but there was tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits. Also salt and pepper, but what I liked there were plenty of loo rolls, kitchen roll, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and liquid soap and bin bags all the things I often forget. We would definitely return to Cider Press Cottage in the future!

Peaceful location

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location. The village of Ilmington is quiet, with a super village shop and cafe and a lovely church where they practice bell ringing every other Wednesday, a delight to listen to. The cottage courtyard is a lovely place to sit and enjoy a tea or coffee. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need and an en-suite with both bedrooms is a luxury. However, we didn't realise that we would be unable to watch live tv and needed use catch up instead. We would recommend Cider Press Cottage.

The second time at cider press and it would have been nice to have been advised of the building work

This work attracted noise including swearing, load music, repeated sanding and vibration and effectively rendered our second week as a complete waste of money There were no refuse tanks for the rubbish and in fact no welcoming treats even down to some milk Great shame really as the whole experience we have been saving up for could have provided a very well earned break The below further questions should have another option based on the above feedback and not just yes or no

Excellent stay

Perfect cottage, spacious clean and comfortable with high quality furnishings and a heating system which was simple to use, always a bonus. It was actually far larger than the pictures suggest. Wouldn’t hesitate to return. The one and only criticism was that there wasn’t a folder with information about the area Where nearest supermarket is Where nearest petrol station Recommendations etc. I did mention this to the management company and they have passed on my suggestion to the owner.
