We really enjoyed our stay at the Cider barn, which was comfy and cosy, and well located for hiking and walks. A big thankyou to Jane and Ian for the friendly welcome and already having a fire set up for us on arrival.

Cider Barn is a cosy, clean and comfortable cottage that met all our needs for a week's stay. It is in a good location for accessing local facilities in Presteigne. We appreciated using the log burner after a day's walking, the comfortable sofas, and enjoyed a good night's sleep in the comfy bed. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. Jane and Ian gave us a warm welcome and were friendly hosts.
