Wonderful wonderful wonderful
Excellent place to stay. Beautifully presented, brilliant location, all the facilities you could want. Idyllic place to unwind, relax and forget about the world and great internet speeds if you do need to keep in touch. The views are incredible and is in the doorstep of all the attractions and of course, the forest. If your lucky enough to be able to book this place, I am jealous.

Wonderful stay at the Old Cider Press with walks and great activities on the doorstep. Great hosts too, nothing was too much trouble. Property is outstanding, exceptionally clean with lovely soft beds, great showers and a modern kitchen. We can’t wait to come back, especially Gunnar the dog who didn’t want to leave!
