Indulge in the tranquillity of rural living at this cosy barn conversion on the Warwickshire border. Boasting a crackling wood burner, rustic beams and light-soaked rooms, it’s nestled in tranquil farmland making it perfect for a countryside escape. Situated just a stone’s throw from the charming streets of Stratford-upon-Avon, and the wider Cotswolds, this serene spot is your base for a memorable stay.

Lovely peaceful stay but some things could be added to make it even better.

The accommodation itself was very nice, spacious and clean with everything you might need including milk and tea/coffee which was a nice touch. The hot tub had a couple of issues - headrest hanging off and two sets of jets did not seem to be working fully. For us though what really let it down was the lack of some nice garden furniture. The weather was lovely and whilst there was an old wooden picnic table it would have been lovely to have some nice up-to-date seating outside.

Had a lovely long weekend at cider House. Perfect location for us for visiting Stratford and the Cotswolds and lovely walking down the river in Bidford-on-Avon. Everything you could need in the accomodation and the hot tub was great .

Enjoyed our short break at the Cider Barn
Lovely hot tub!
Great Location!
Great enclosed garden, which our Basset hound fully enjoyed playing in.
Ideal for my elderly mother with mobility issues, being all on one level.
Only a few issues, shame no milk, when we arrived as there was tea, coffee, sugar provided.
I did find the mattress on the Double Bed quite uncomfortable, a King Size bed would have been nicer.
Also being on a farm the road down to the barn was full of large pot holes which you have to try and navigate around!
Overall we all did have a very relaxing stay.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at Cider House. We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We have shared your points with the owner who wishes that you had asked for milk during your stay as they would have been very happy to provide this for you. Also they will look into the mattress and they have let us know the drive is due to be repaired.

Comfortable, clean and welcoming. This cottage has great facilities and is great for young families.

Really nice little cottage, located within easy reach of the cotswolds. House was clean, tidy and very well equipped. We did find an ear plug on the floor of the bedroom though but it was no problem.

The house was excellent with a dog, and had plenty of outdoor space for him to run around, and he was a huge fan of the logburner! Hot tub was really nice and enjoyable aswell.

All in all a great place to stay, and would go again.

We booked the Cider House for a mums and daughters weekend away in celebration of two special birthdays. From booking through to post break feedback the whole experience has been wonderful. Booking is easy and straightforward. The information pack is informative and the owners and booking company responded quickly when I emailed for clarification on what was provided. The cottage itself was idyllic. Just the perfect setting, it felt remote and yet was within an easy walk from the village and a straightforward bus ride into stratford. The hot tub was just wonderful, it was clean and was heated ready for us. The kitchen was well equipped, including the coffee machine which we enjoyed very much. Overall a wonderful weekend and we are planning to return soon.



Perfect!

Perfect location to visit Cotswolds and Stratford.

We booked 3 cottages and each one had everything we needed down to flip flops and robes for the hot tubs!

Would definitely recommend and would book again. Thank you

Cider House was exactly what we needed to explore Stratford Upon Avon, just a short drive away. The house was clean, comfortable and fully equipped. We loved using the hot tub and were grateful for the flip flops, towels and dressing gowns provided. The owners left us to enjoy our selves and there was no need to contact them as the provided information was detailed. Would love to stay here again sometime.

We booked the Cider House very last minute for a short chillout break before Christmas, The house was clean and tidy and had all the utensils and appliances needed for a self catering stay. The TV was actually larger than shown in the website pictures and is a smart TV complete with streaming apps.
The hot tub was great to sit in and gaze at the stars each evening and then back to sit in front of the log burner which provided a warm and cosy atmosphere to relax on the comfortable settees. The main bedroom has plenty of storage and a good size double bed. We found the mattress to be a bit too firm for us, but this is just our preference and we still slept ok.
The location of Cider house is great for walks, a pavement along the road gives good access to Bidford village, about a10 minute walk. From there we did a 4 mile circular walk along part of the river Avon and around the edge of the horse gallops, some good views from up there.
We would have given full marks but a couple of small things that could be improved on, there were no matches or lighter for the log burner, the TV remote batteries were flat and a bulb blown in the bedside lamp. But overall we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at Cider house.

We had a lovely stay in this property, it has everything needed for a relaxing break. We made the most of the hot tub even in November, and the log burner was great to keep us warm and cosy in the evenings. The provision of towelling robes, extra towels and flip flops when using the hot tub was really appreciated. The location is great for exploring the north of the Cotswolds and Stratford on Avon. The nearest village at Bidford on Avon has a lovely cafe in the centre and walks along the river Avon.

We have stayed at this place four years in a row and it’s always been great. This year we decided to invite some friends to come with us and between us we rented three of the 5 barns available. On arrival the bathroom in our house was dirty which was disappointing and there was a real problem with infestation of beetles. We could have overlooked these things as we’ve always been a fan of this location but the treatment our friends received from the owner was appalling and we were embarrassed that we’d recommended the place.

The owner decided to install a hot tub in one of the properties after our friends had booked it. They wanted £180 extra for this for the 5 days. They said if they didn’t pay it then the hot tub would be drained before they arrived - nice when you have little kids! Surely a better way to do it would have been to let them have the hot tub and they would’ve been really happy and leaving great reviews. However this was not the main issue.

Our friends toilet blocked during the stay. They came to fix it and then after it had been fixed said there was an excessive amount of toilet roll in the pipes and they wanted £50. There was not an excessive amount of toilet roll used at all. In fact the three of them had used very little having noted how much loo roll was there when they arrived and still having most of that left. at no point was any additional cost ever mentioned. The owners have literally hounded our friends for this £50 despite getting £3000 for our 5 night stay. Since we have returned home they have emailed them daily about this. It is so uncalled for. A toilet should be able to flush toilet roll. They tried to make out the kids had blocked the toilet but as one is still helped on the toilet and the other very grown up this was just not the case.

Another issue we had was the owner coming in throughout the week. This was also not a problem we had had before but this time the owner was there most days and let herself in - not the best idea when we have a dog running about in the garden. We felt like they were constantly checking up on us. Telling us to put the lid on the hot tub despite us using it and to keep the adjoining gate between two properties closed despite the two families being there together.

It’s such a shame that our friends were treated like this. For the sake of £50 they have lost themselves some loyal customers. We would’ve been back every year and with more friends but now we will not return ever and will tell others to steer clear.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback on your stay at Cider House. The review here is not for the property you stayed at and the issue you mentioned was resolved by an appointed professional who reported that the toilet was blocked by flashing excess toilet roll. And this does not relate to your booking. The owner asked for the gate to be closed due to health and safety, The plumper removed the drain inspection cover in the garden trying to ascertain where the toilet was blocked as you had children and dogs with you during your stay. The owner was helpful and accommodating where possible by allowing the bouncy castle and the slip and slide, and helped with the hot tub lid as you were struggling with this, the owners asked for the lid to be put back on the hot tub whilst not in use due the sun reacting with the chemicals, as this can turn the water green. We wish you would have advised the owner of the beetles and this has been fully resolved, had they known about this at the time, they would have rectified this immediately.

THE ACCOMODATION AS ALWAYS WAS AWESOME WE ALWAYS LOVE STAYING HERE AS IT WORKS PERFECTLY FOR US VISITING FAMILY AND FRIENDS. COUPLE OF CHATS WITH OWNER RESOLVED ANY ISSUES AS THEY SUPER HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY. WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND THAT THE GRASS IS CUT BEFORE NEW RESIDENTS COME IN AS IT WAS VERY PRICKLY AND THE DOGS AND CHILDREN HAD A FEW PRICKED FEET. I KNOW THIS DOES DEPEND ON WEATHER THOUGH
THANK U AGAIN FOR MAKING US SO WELCOME AND HOPEFULLY SEE U ALL NEXT YEAR AGAIN

Nice barn conversion. As always easier to think of what wasn’t quite right but there was a lot which was right.

for some reason could only get BBC channels on the TV, thankfully I was able to use my Netflix subscription.

Very high roof space, noticeable cobwebs. High above. Would need a duster on an extendable pole to reach.

Shower head needed changing, it sprayed water in pretty much every direction and could not be adjusted.

There was a beetle issue, they came out only in the dark, mainly from under the bath, about an inch long. Removed about thirty during our stay.

One small area of shelf with glasses on it had been missed in the cleaning process, had quite a few small dead flies on it.

But all said we would stay again, the hot tub was great!

The building itself is done well and very spacious. Furniture looks to have been updated from images. Garden is enormous, dog absolutely loved it. Hot tub great - it’s a hot tub - wasn’t sure why it wasn’t to the rear of the property; a shade over it would have been nice too, got a bit sun burned. That’s obviously my fault.

What wasn’t my fault was the colony of 30-40 ants that had taken over the kitchen counter when I arrived. The property was spotless, but the ants had gotten in. What I didn’t like was when I reported it there wasn’t a particularly welcome response, which was along the lines of “It is what it is, it’s an old property, only so much I can do”. They came with any spray, great, but turned up and just handed it to me. I kind of assumed given I had to pay a cleaning fee for my dog, I wouldn’t be expected to treat their ant problem myself. Kind of compounded by the owner passing the next day and asking me how my any problem was. I was a guest. The problem was theirs. It should have been dealt with by them.

On (liberal) spraying, it seemed to solve the problem. I swept up the little tiny carcasses and enjoyed the rest of my stay.

It is a lovely property. Despite the ants I would almost certainly go back. But I felt the response to my concern on arrival started me on a poor note.

We stayed for the weekend as a family. The cottage is in an excellent location with walkable pubs and shops as well as being a short drive from Stratford on Avon.

The cottage itself is cosy but big enough to comfortably accommodate the whole family and the garden and hot tub were a real bonus.

We really enjoyed the stay and will be back again in future.

Thank you!

My friends and I had a lovely time at Cider house, a beautiful stay in a beautiful place, and I am sure in the summer time it is even more beautiful. The highlight was of course the lovely hottub, with slippers and robes proved of course, the woodfired fireplace and the underfloor heating made sure we were were very cosy indeed.
The house was clean and very well provided for, everything from towels, shower caps and lavender sleep spray.

Be warned if you are driving up at night that there are no nearby streetlights so make sure you are comfortable driving in the dark, and to read the instructions provided on how to get to the front of your property ( there are multiple holiday homes on site).

Only a couple of minor things that maybe take away from the experience is that the check out time at 10am feels very early compared to other similar places, there were only two toilets rolls provided for us and I felt like the kitchen was missing a few staples, like oil to cook that we had to drive to the shop to pick up.

Initially disappointed in the customer service at Bolthole We had a couple of issues with our supposed weekend away. To find someone in our property on arrival. To find the property was then not fully available to us until the next day and also trouble with the hot water not working which my HUSBAND actually sorted with a plumber over the phone. Bolthole spoke to the owner and it was 'apparently, resolved quickly they aren't prepared to compensate in any way. We paid good money for a property with a hot tub it was the only reason we booked it. We could not use this the first night as it wasn't ready as the owner said she wasn't aware of our booking. We also had someone working from 'home,' in there on my arrival. I really dont think this is acceptable in any way. The owner should have offered something other than an apology. Bolthole however in the end did compensate. The property itself was lovely. I would of preferred mind to have a property which was freshly cleaned and nobody in there on arrival!

Nice property, lovely outlook, hot tub was great. However, on arrival there was evidence of previous renters and windows could have been cleaned over, the tin opener doesn’t work, heating is not straight forward and there was no guide and the recycling system should be made clearer with separate bins.

WE HAVE STOPPED AT CIDER HOUSE A NUMBER OF TIMES NOW AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PLEASURE. LOVLEY LOCATION AND AWESOME ACCOMODATION WITH THOSE LITTLE EXTRA TOUCHES LIKE BATH ROBES IN EACH ROOM FOR USE IF YOU DECIDE TO USE THE HOT TUB. THERE ARE SHOWER CAPS, SHAMPOO, SHOWER/BATH GEL ALL FOR YOUR USE AND WONDERFUL FLUFFY TOWELS. AS SOON AS YOU ARRIVE YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF A CUP OF COFFEE OR TEA AS THESE ARE ALL PROVIDED AS WELL AS MILK IN THE FRIDGE!!
ONLY RECOMMENDATION I WOULD MAKE IS AN UMBRELLA FOR THE TABLE AND CHAIRS OUTSIDE.
THE GARDEN IS DOG FRIENDLY AND ENSURES THE LITTLE FUR BABIES CANNOT ESCAPE SO ANOTHER STRESS TAKEN AWAY.
THE OWNER IS EASILY CONTACTABLE AND NOTHING IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE.
WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WILL DEFINATELY BE STAYING AGAIN

If you are after a comfortable retreat away from noise and light pollution this is ideal. Two double sofas and a large modern TV passed away the evenings and the hot tub is superb. An ideal location central to walks and the beautiful surroundings.
The cottage would benefit from a more thorough clean however and was 'welcomed' with a slight damp dog smell.
Overall happy to recommend a stay here assuming the owners react to the above

This was a lovely getaway. The privacy in the hot tub was better than I expected and the views when sitting in the hot tube were very peaceful. The house itself was lovely and it was only a short walk into the village for an evening dinner and drink.

Would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful, private getaway

A beautiful location to look out to at all times of day. The sun shines on the garden all day. The hot tub was lovely and a definite winner for our stay there. Sitting in the hot tub of an evening watching the moon come up and the stars come out was fabulous. The barn was very warm and the sofas were very comfy. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

We had a great long weekend in the barn. The location is perfect - just half a mile up the road, with a path all the way, to Bidford which has plenty of places to eat or get a take away. The barn was nicely furnished with everything we needed and very comfortable. The hot tub was an added bonus as we were able to reduce the temperature and use it to cool down given the scorching weather. The garden was dog secure and large enough for our border terrier to let off steam in the evening once the temperature had dropped. We have already started looking for when we can come back!!

This is the first time we have stayed in this property and its a lovely place, very quiet (which we love) Lovely and clean, loads of room and plenty of room in the garden (for our doggos!) I would've used the hot tub, but I'd just had an operation a few days before which ruled it out (a reason to definitely return soon!) Plus highlight if the stay was watching a hovering Kestrel looking for its tea!
Thank you again, would highly recommend.

FIRST TIME STAYING IN THE CIDER HOUSE BUT HAVE STOPPED AT THEIR OTHER PROPERTIES NEXT DOOR BEFORE. AS ALWAYS THE ACCOMODATION WAS REALLY CLEAN AND THE EXTRA TOUCHES OF BATHROBES, SLIPPERS FOR THE HOT TUB WERE MUCH APPRECIATED. NOTHING IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE FOR THE OWNER KATIE AND SHE IS ALWAYS ON HAND SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. WOULD NOT THINK OF STOPPING ANYWHERE ELSE 20/10

Really lovely place for a family. We have a 16 month old so the 1 level living worked perfectly for us. We even had a nice box of toys provided for him to play with.
A short walk to local restaurants and in catchment of take aways.

We had a fabulous 2 night stay at Cider House.

The barn conversion was exceptionally clean, it truly felt a home from home and a perfect place to relax for a few days with our 2 year old.

We loved our stay. Would come back and stay again for sure.

Thank you

A really cosy and comfortable stay. The property is well equipped and furnished. It really felt like a home away from home! The hot tub was well maintained and the log fire was a plus! It was a great base to explore the Cotswolds.

This was our first visit to Cider House and it didn't disappoint. Great location for us, 5 minute walk into Bidford where there was a lovely park next to the river that kept our child entertained. The pubs over the bridge next to the river do lovely food. We walked along the river to the next village which is a great walk. We also visited Stratford for the day and Warwick Castle which weren't too far by car.

Cider House itself was lovely. It had everything we needed for our holiday. The hot tub is a great addition and was used everyday. The garden is a lovely size and perfect for the bow and arrow set to be played with from the castle. We did pack beach towels for the hot tub not realising towels and flip flops were provided for each guest for this which was a lovely touch. The house and garden is very private. We would definitely recommend and look forward to our next visit.

Having never visited the area before, we booked a short Easter break and were delighted to share this with our great friends from Devon. The Cider House and Combine Shed are fabulous for two families who want to be together but have the luxury of their own front door. The location is great - a ten minute walk from Bidford where you’ve got all the amenities you need. Most mornings we left our daughters in the park adjacent to the river, took the dogs for a run along the bank before heading out for the day. The properties are lovely - bright, light, clean, comfortable and with everything you’d need for your stay. The hot tub was an absolute winner - kids loved it and parents benefitted after a long walk up to Broadway Tower! There are some thoughtful touches - method cleaning products, flip flops and spa gowns for the HT and basic kitchen supplies. The ‘admin’ was really good - helpful emails with recommendations for days out, quick response times to emails, advice and understanding when we reported a breakage. Exceptionally well organised and classy. We had a brilliant time, loved the house and would definitely recommend this to others and consider visiting again.



Perfect family or couples accommodation with hot tub and dog proof garden

The property was fantastic and I would highly recommend. It’s was spotless, had plenty of space and all the facilities you could need. The hot tub was an added perk along with a large and completely dog proof garden which our pup loved!



Amazing

Lovely place, well presented. Staff fulfilled our requests at short notice. Lacks a fireguard so we couldn't use the wood burner with small children around. A nice selection of toys for the kids



A very comfortable and relaxing place to stay
