Broome is a guesthouse and working cider farm near Ross on Wye in Herefordshire. We rolled up for some cider tasting and stayed all afternoon. After being greeted by a small herd of friendly alpacas, our canadian cider-enthusiast host was more than welcoming and keen for us to try as many of the tens of ciders on offer as we wanted. We did just that and took a guided walk around the orchards while the effects wore off. We left with dizzy heads and a selection of bottles, as well as sausages made from pigs on the farm. The farm is a little gem - it was a relaxing, interesting, fun experience and I would advise anyone with even a passing interest in cider to give it a go.

Peterstow is situated off the A49 close to Ross-on-Wye. If coming from the roundabout on the A49 at Ross take the second turning on the right. Broome Farmhouse is signposted bearing left at the small green you first come to and is located a few hundred yards along the road, past the orchards to the right and round the bend.

This is a lovely inn situated on the banks of the river Wye. I would recommend it for its beautiful setting, its relaxed atmosphere, excellent food and lovely accomodation. The superior rooms, newly decorated and luxurious, are particulary good for a romantic getaway.
The Wye valley is delightful, lots of nice walks and canoeing nearby. There is the oldest hand-operated ferry in England (I think) outside the inn to get you across the river.
