The cottage is set in a gravel courtyard at the centre of a working arable farm, just half a mile from the River Avon and the pretty village of Bidford-upon-Avon. The barns and the fields around the Cider House were purchased by the owner's family in the 1960s. In the 1980s the barns became grain stores, and the courtyard in front of the cottage was covered over with large steel bins for extra grain storage. In 2012, the grain barns were converted, and the grain store was taken down, and the full conversion to Oosland Barns Holiday Lets was completed in 2015. Inside, the cottage is decorated in a neutral, country-cottage style and comfortably accommodates four guests, with a very spacious and welcoming open-plan kitchen-dining-living area with a log burner and two bedrooms (one double, one twin) and a family bathroom – all on one floor so ideal for guests with limited mobility. (Please note, that there are two steps up to the front door). Ground Floor Kitchen-Dining Area-Living Area: The open-plan kitchen, dining area and living area is a super spacious room with a double-height ceiling and exposed, original A-frame timbers, and a welcoming woodburning stove. It is light and bright with windows looking out to the side and rear garden. The fully equipped Kitchen has an integrated washing machine, dishwasher, fridge with freezer compartment, electric cooker and electric hob. To one side of the Kitchen is a rectangular table that comfortably seats four guests. At the far end of this room is the Living Area, with two large leather-effect sofas, a coffee table, smart TV, a desk for guests on a workation, a bookcase storing games, maps, and books, and a lovely woodburner, which will be set ready for you to light on arrival. A door leads out from the Living Area to the garden and patio. Bedroom 1: The pretty main bedroom in the Cider House looks out over the rear garden and has a high ceiling with exposed beams. The bedroom is decorated with accents of pink and is furnished with a standard double bed with bedside tables and reading lamps, a wardrobe, and a chest of drawers. Bedroom 2: This cosy second bedroom also looks out over the rear garden. The bedroom is decorated with accents of blue and is furnished with two single beds, a central bedside table and reading lamp, a chest of drawers with a mirror, and wall hooks with hangers for hanging up clothes. Family Bathroom: The family bathroom features a full-size bath, with a shower over, a toilet, a basin with a vanity unit with a mirror and shaver point, and a heated towel rail. The tiled floor has underfloor heating. Outside To the side and rear of the cottage is a large, fenced garden, with a lawn, hot tub, patio, and picnic table, which looks out across the surrounding farmland. The garden is dog-friendly/dog-proof (unless your dog can jump above waist height). Guests with dogs are welcome to walk them around the surrounding farmlands (please stick to the outside if the field is planted). There is parking for 2 cars beside the cottage through a small gate. A charcoal BBQ is provided - please bring your own supply of fuel. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Freezer - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 753 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/43000000/42060000/42059400/42059324/a7127961.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stable Cottage - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms Evesham - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 23 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-11&endDate=2026-02-12&selected=42059324&PinnedHotelID=42059324&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91910000/91906600/91906517/7dc9871d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Willow Rugby - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-11&endDate=2026-02-12&selected=91906517&PinnedHotelID=91906517&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Premier Chalet, Multiple Beds, Kitchen, Valley View | Mountain view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110870000/110861000/110860934/9bd9ab8e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Caplor Glamping and Lodges Hereford - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included 8.6 Excellent 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-11&endDate=2026-02-12&selected=110860934&PinnedHotelID=110860934&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-11&endDate=2026-02-12&selected=64146114&PinnedHotelID=64146114&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=64146114,42059324,91906517,110860934) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

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 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 21 Feb 2024 #### Perfect short break. 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 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. ##### Julie P.

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.

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. ##### Julie S.

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 ##### Karen M.

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! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 18 Dec 2023 #### A short chillout stay at a warm and cosy Cider House 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.

It was great to have things like washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, soaps, cling film, foil, as it saves buying or bringing them. The outlook was fabulous, looking across farmland and beyond. The hot tub was great and very clean. Having a log burner and a supply of logs made the evenings very cosy, especially after getting out of the hot tub in October! Location was great and you can walk into town, but you're far enough away for it to be tranquil. It would have been even better if the bed was a bit larger, like a king, but not sure if that would fit in the room. This was the only thing we would change. We loved our stay.

It was peaceful with awesome views of the countryside. The barn was clean and well presented, the owner had thought of everything. Lots of lovely pubs nearby. We did some great kayaking in Leamington Spa and hung out by the river in Bidford. Warning, lots of ants enjoyed their stay in the barn too! The gentleman working for customer services was very helpful and polite. He very quickly and efficiently sorted out my booking error. Thank you. ##### Claire C.

Walk to village approx 10-15 min. Fish and chip shop and Indian takeaway. We visited The Frog pub/ restaurant a couple of times. Lovely location by the river and food and drinks reasonably priced. Have Gluten Free options too. One Stop convenience store and Co op nearby. Made use of the BBQ and hot tub at the property. Visited during heatwave and had problem with flies if we left the windows open. Could have benefited from some electric fans but otherwise a spacious and comfortable property with well enclosed garden for the dog. Visited several towns within 20-40 min drive Stratford On Avon, Bourton On The Water, Chipping Norton, Burford. ##### Hayley B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberley C. 4 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Great stay with super accommodation.

The house is a conversion with interesting original features but well modernised. The location is beautifully rural - but within a ten minute walk to the river and village. We really enjoyed the hot tub. It’s worth noting they have updated the garden furniture - there is now a wicker set with cushions and table, which made the outside very enjoyable. Shower has fantastic pressure. It is surrounded by farmland - which means you can walk between the fields to get to the river/park. I saw deer and hares in this land which was delightful. We also saw lots of hot air balloons and gliders. (The airfield is local and has a cafe so you can watch them take off). There is a bus which takes 25mins to get directly to Stratford which was good. A really good base with loads to drive to in the local area. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John J., Northampton 3 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely short stay at the Cider House Nice property, larger than you would expect from the photos. Garden was great for the dog and fully enclosed.Property was very comfortable and the hot tub was a nice touch, just a shame we only stayed 2 nights. Overall the property was clean but we did find the oven, grill pan and some cutlery hadn't been cleaned. Really enjoyed our stay and would like to return for a little longer next time. ##### John J.

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!! ##### Esther G.

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!

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.

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 ##### Karen M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 10 Sept 2022 #### Quiet hideaway, ideal location. 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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Broom Hall Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alcester-Hotels-Broom-Hall-Inn.h4054577.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bowman by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nottingham-Hotels-The-Bowman.h46162199.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [The Blue Boar Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alcester-Hotels-The-Blue-Boar.h2496222.Hotel-Information) > > [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > > [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > > [Northlands Farm & Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Northlands-Farm-Lakes-Premium-Chalet-1.h37797465.Hotel-Information) > > [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Pines Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brigg-Hotels-Forest-Pines-Spa-Golf-Resort.h461512.Hotel-Information) > > [The Throckmorton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alcester-Hotels-The-Throckmorton.h5077114.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) > > [The New French Partridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northampton-Hotels-The-New-French-Partridge.h2288818.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > > [Bredbury Hall by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockport-Hotels-Bredbury-Hall.h64706.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > > [Fisherman's Cot, Tiverton by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tiverton-Hotels-Fishermans-Cot.h11900175.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > > [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > > [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > > [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > > [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) ---
