In the heart of the beautiful Shropshire countryside, amidst the renowned walking and cycling region, is the historic village of Caynham.

Three miles away is Ludlow where slightly more recent building work can be seen in the intact medieval street patterns of the town. Renowned for several Michelin-starred restaurants, as well as numerous tea-shops, pubs and inns, Ludlow is a great destination for gourmets and food enthusiasts whilst nearby, visitors can enjoy such diverse activities as Ironbridge Gorge, Severn Valley Railway, Berrington Hall and Cardingmill Valley.

Lovely property in a beautiful area. Very quiet village but well placed for visiting surrounding villages and Ludlow. The property was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a break away. Thoroughly enjoyable week and hope to return.

The Old Cider Mill is set in a beautiful and peaceful location.. This cottage has a very well equipped kitchen and the lounge has 2 reclining sofas which I loved. This is our 2nd visit to this cottage and we plan to return again next year. Would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Mrs Collins, August 2020
July 2020
The cottage was very well equipped.. Very clean and comfortable. There were 2 outside sitting areas with table and chairs. The owners who live next door were friendly and helpful. The position of the cottage was quiet, but very handy for Ludlow and Hereford, as well as National Trust and English Heritage properties.
Mr Davis, July 2020
February 2020
This cottage is in an ideal location to explore several National Trust properties nearby and has lovely countryside views.. Even though the owners are next door and happy to help if needed, you have total privacy. We stayed at the beginning of March and the cottage kept lovely and warm and cosy, despite the frosty mornings! We would definitely recommend.

Spent an enjoyable week here with some good friends, weather was very hot (perhaps too hot). The cottage is in a quiet spot but it only takes 10 minutes to drive into Ludlow. The owners are more than helpful if there is anything you need. There are some good walks to go on if you are feeling energetic. All in all very good holiday.
Mrs Pidgeon

Mrs Jones

A fantastic cottage with excellent facilities. Really good quality and very clean. A great base to be in for the area. Although next to the owners property we appreciated the privacy we were given. Great fire and much needed on cold nights!
Mrs Johnson

We were pleased with our choice and have booked again for the 2016/17 New Year period. This will be our fourth visit to this particular property. As with all our visits, we were very pleased to see the owners.

Mrs Palethorpe
September 2015
This is the best cottage we have stayed in. It has been renovated and fitted out to a very high standard and is spotlessly clean, very spacious and comfortable. The area is really quiet and is surrounded by gardens and farmland with lovely views over the fields. We highly recommend this holiday accommodation.
Mrs Allison
September 2015
The property was great, the views from both the back and front were very nice. The village was quiet and not far from the Ludlow park and ride. The owners of the property were very nice and very helpful, lovely people.
Miss Woodgett

September 2015
This is the best cottage we have stayed in. It has been renovated and fitted out to a very high standard and is spotlessly clean, and very spacious and comfortable. The owners are very friendly and helpful and live in the house next door. There is also another holiday accommodation in the same yard but The Cider Mill has its own parking for two cars right outside the front door and so has no interference from other guests. The area is really quiet and is surrounded by gardens and farmland with lovely views over the fields. Although there was no pub or restaurant in the village it is only a short drive to nearby pubs and Ludlow is 10 mins away by car and a supermarket / petrol station about 5 mins away. Wifi is available in this property.We highly recommend this holiday accommodation.

The cottage matched the description but the location was much better than we imagined as it was surrounded by amazing views. Very warm, cosy and very well planned to ensure a great break. Please thank the owners for providing such a great cottage and a warm welcome, we felt really at home.

The cottage was superb, everything about it was excellent quality. Had a good heating system - set appropriately for time of year. All fixtures and fittings were good quality and there was plenty of cooking equipment! It was spotlessly clean and comfortable. We're looking forward to returning later in the year.
Mrs Dainton

A lovely barn sensitively renovated. All furnishings and equipment were of excellent standard and very clean. Our welcome was very warm and the owners very helpful. A perfect place and location. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property.
Mrs Boucher
January 2015
A beautiful restoration and furnishing of The Old Cider Mill by the owners. The cottage was warm and welcoming for our winter break. The owner was friendly helpful and the location was within easy reach of towns and a number of visitor attractions in South Shropshire. We had a relaxing and superb three day break, made all the better knowing that we had a superb cottage to return to after days out in the very cold January weather.
Mr Raxter

Mrs Duric
May 2014
This is the best-equipped holiday cottage we have ever rented. It is very comfortable and in a wonderful location. It provides easy access to Ludlow and surrounding areas, with plenty of interesting places to visit in Shropshire and Herefordshire. The owners/hosts are lovely and friendly. We enjoyed watching the calves which has just been let out into the field for the very first time and spotting the local foxes in the early evening as they made their way across the fields behind the cottage.
Mr Palmer
May 2014
The cottage is so quiet and peaceful, with lovely views, we feel relaxed from the moment we walk through the door.
Mrs Johnson

The seal of approval is in our booking of the property for another week. The welcome on arrival; the small but well thought out touches. The overall presentation and cleanliness of the property. Comfortable furnishings and fittings. The help provided by the owners family when asked for, a very nice family.
Miss Balfour

we had not visited this part of the country before and had a lovely holiday, the cottage was fresh and homely, clean and very well equipped with everything we wanted and more, it was really nicely done with stunning views a having the owners just next door was reassuring! there were lots of leaflets about the many local attraction and free wi-fi which was a hit with our 2 teenage sons!!
Mrs Catterall
November 2013
The cottage was excellent, spotlessly clean, warm and had plenty of kitchen utensils. We were mainly there to attend the Ludlow Medieval Christmas Market but also enjoyed the local walks! Would certainly return to this property.
Mr Noakes
November 2013
We had a great week, and enjoyed walking in the surrounding area and visiting the local villages. The Old Cider Mill was lovely to return too after a day out, a first class cottage with everything you need, and very helpful owners.
Mrs Street
September 2013

Rev Slater
September 2013
The property was beautifully restored, and tastefully furnished with everything we could have possibly needed and more, it was great to have all linen and towels provided, so we did not need to worry about it. There were clear instructions for all appliances and a useful guide to the local area.

Mrs Mallalieu

Lovely accommodation, we were very comfortable during our stay. The outside seating area was good and we were lucky enough to have the good weather to be able to enjoy it!
Guest
August 2013
Everything in the cottage was great. Internet access was also brilliant. Everything you could possibly want was supplied. The only downside for us was the lack of eating places - you needed a car, the local pubs were not up to much - so we chose to eat in.
Mrs Beeson
July 2013
Excellent location only a 10 minute drive into ludlow which is well worth a visit. Very peaceful and the best cottage we have ever had.
Miss Cullington
July 2013
A delightful cottage in a fabulous quiet location yet close to all amenities. Cottage is extremely well equipped with everything you could need for a relaxing holiday.
Mr Keeley

A truly superb conversion of the old barn in a wonderful rural setting.
Ms Gundry
June 2013
The cottage itself was not only comfortable but also so well equipped. The additional touches of things like tea, coffee, toilet rolls etc. Made it feel like home-from-home rather than just a rented space. The owners were very friendly and helpful.
David Keightley
June 2013
On arrival, the owner greeted us immediately (lives next door). Explained history of the Mill and gave us a brief rundown of amenities etc. If we experienced any problems, he was only next door and would sort things out. the property was immaculate; beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated - cant think of anything we required which was not there! We could quite happily live there. Mill situated on small hill with beautiful views. Very quiet, with Ludlow and other attractions close by. Loved it.
Mrs Reed
May 2013
A beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting, and top marks to Sykes for your company's service.
Mrs English

The different views from each of the windows of the cottage was so lovely and rural.
Guest

Had a short break at The Cider Mill in March 2013, on the weekend we had the heavy snowfall! Arrived quite late due to weather and the owner gave us directions to the property and waited outside for us. The property itself was stunning. A great mix of traditional old beams etc, along with modern interior. Everything you could wish for is supplied, we even had a couple of bottles of cider left for us. The surrounding area has plenty of places to visit, definitely go to Ironbridge as it is the most beautiful place. All in all, will highly recommend a stay at The Cider Mill.

We've only been home a week and I'm already feeling "home"sick for The Old Cider Mill. It's an 18th century building, with lots of beams in evidence, but done up in a contemporary style, with modern wooden floors (so no awkward floor levels and steps to catch you out). The living room seating, and the beds were all very comfortable. The conversion was done in summer 2012. There are wonderful views from all windows, looking out on to the glorious south Shropshire countryside, and the cottage is surrounded by fields with ancient fruit trees in them and patches of woodland.
Mr Keightley
April 2013
The owner was on hand to welcome us and the property was superb. We could not have wanted more. Immaculately clean, everything we needed was there. The property has been sympathetically renovated and retains its charm. Perfect.
Mr Wright
April 2013
Comfortable well equipped cottage. Just what was required for a quiet break in the lovely Shropshire countryside, but close enough the Ludlow and it's facilities.
Mrs Maloney
April 2013
The cottage was extremely well equipped and comfortable. I would have no hesitation in recommending the cottage to friends.
Mr Crawford
March 2013
Absolutely stunning property, very tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Had everything you would need to have a relaxing holiday. The only problem was that we didn't want to go home! All in all an outstanding place to stay and would definitely go there again.
Mrs Slaney
March 2013
Beautiful barn conversion,situated in quiet location with lovely open views, yet less than ten minutes drive from well-stocked supermarket/filling station and Park and Ride into Ludlow.Warm and cosy on even the coldest of days and a real home from home. Another winner from Sykes!.
Mr Thomas
February 2013
Great cottage to stay in. Very quiet and secluded. Very well kitted out and a very high standard of appliances. The host was very welcoming and had made the cottage a first class place.
Mrs Forrest

A wonderful cottage to return to after a day of sightseeing. The area very convenient to many attractions and the quality of restaurants within a few miles of the cottage was outstanding.
