The Cider House exceeded our expectations. Really classy accommodation, very spacious, very comfortable, great style and great location. And some nice touches eg welcome pack included homemade jam, sloe gin and home produced apple juice plus free range eggs. And Llamas outside the window add a certain je ne sais quoi :-)
We're just back from a wonderful break in beautiful Herefordshire. The Cider House isn't just a delightful holiday cottage (loved the roll top bath and big bed) to use as a comfortable base for exploring this lovely area, Old King Street Farm is a great experience in itself – and the views of the surrounding countryside are second to none. Robert and Amanda really go out of their way to make you feel at home and ensure you have a lovely stay. They are only too happy to introduce you to their llamas and tell you all about them. You can even take them on a trek (the llamas that is...plus Robert). The village has good pubs and an excellent fish 'n chip shop. There are plenty of nice local walks and interesting towns and villages to visit. We especially liked browsing the book shops in Hay on Wye. We loved our stay and very much look forward to an early return visit.

We just had a delightful 4 night stay at The Cider House cottage, the cottage was everything that we hoped for in wonderful, peaceful surroundings with fabulous views. Robert and Amanda were very attentive hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with the Llamas.
The Llama Trek is a must for anyone booking a holiday, they really are the most endearing creatures. Would highly recommend this cottage.

The whole stay exceeded expectations! The Cider House is beautiful, lovely and spacious but cosy. Very comfortable bed, stunning views, loveable llamas, welcoming hosts, only 5 min walk to village shop. Would love to go back!
The kitchen was very well appointed with everything that you could possibly need/want. The property was generally well furnished. We were on a walking holiday and the location was very good for the Brecon Beacons etc. The hospitality of the hosts was very welcoming with unexpected treats!
Finally walking with llamas was the icing on the cake and not to be missed.

I've only just joined TripAdvisor but wanted to add a review for our stay at the Cider house last Easter. We stayed 5 nights for a long weekend over the Easter weekend, it was booked last minute but we had a perfect stay. The barn is lovely, very spacious, very clean, relaxing & a very comfy bed. The surrounding area was beautiful too. We liked the fact that we had the remote country feel but was about 10 minutes walk away from two good pubs, a convenience store, and a very good Fish & Chip shop. We enjoyed going for walks in the area & the locals were very friendly. But the best bit was the Llama trek, they are such chilled animals & not at all what we expected. The landlords Robert & Amanda were friendly & welcoming too. We very much enjoyed the cakes Amanda bought round one evening.Highly recommended & we'll definitely be going back! :-)

We had a great weekend in the Cider house. Amanda, Robert and the llamas were very welcoming. The house was a warm, clean and cosy. Very well equipped house. Great bath and bed. The cottage was at perfect location to explore by bike the beautiful Herefordshire country side.
Great fish and chips in the local village - nice pub too.
We would go back to stay
