Wonderful

Had a brilliant stay at The Cider Press. We stayed for 2 weeks whist waiting for our new home to be ready. Coming home in the evening and lighting the fire was a wonderful way to relax after a busy day

Fabulous

Perfect accommodation for our family get together, everything you could need was supplied and nothing had been overlooked.

Wedding Celebration weekend

Such an amazing historic home to borrow and share with family and friends for our wedding weekend. The best self catering property in the land, amazing grounds, and flexibility to have the wedding of your dreams.

Cadhay is a fabulous house

What an amazing house to stay in. The gardens are really beautiful and it is delightfully peaceful. The owner, Rupert is a real gentleman and very thoughtful and helpful. I highly recommend this to anyone who is considering booking a stay here

Spring awakening

Peace and tranquility set the scene for this beautiful location. Spring is slowly waking at Cadhays with the daffodils in abundance waving in the breeze. The Coach house is spacious yet has managed to retain the charm of being cosy. A lovely week and we had sunshine a real bonus.

A stunning place

We celebrated and had our wedding ceremony at Cadhay House and Gardens. It's an absolutely idyllic place to get married. We hired the cottages on the grounds too, so all of our guests could stay close by and we could celebrate over 3 days. The gardens are incredible, we ate under the trees for every dinner, the bedrooms and sitting rooms, each different but comfortable and charming. Helen and Rupert were always helpful and welcoming, making it a truly magical place to get married. I couldn't recommend staying at Cadhay enough, for any occasion, thank you very much!

Excellent

A very well appointed, comfortable cottage that is all on one level. Away from the bustle of a town location it is quiet setting. The main gardens are impresive and well worth a visit.

Wonderful place for a relaxing stay.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Stables at Cadhay. The place is light and airy, and the setting is beautiful. The kitchen is well-equipped although there isn't a lot of work space, and the bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. Rupert was on hand to greet us on our arrival, and was very helpful and friendly.
