This is the third time we have stayed at this lovely holiday home. Amazing position for visiting the beautiful area of Symonds Yat with our dog. Everything you could need for a relaxing stay. Highly recommend the Old Ferrie Inn for meals or just a drink by the river.

The property is clean, modern, well equipped, dog friendly and right on the river. Lovely walks from the doorstep and there are plenty of walks within a short drive. The local pub is a 10 minute easy walk and does great food.

comfortable cottage in pretty location
The cottage is well equipped and comfortable - everything we needed - the only suggestion is that a mirror in the double bedroom would have been useful. Communication with the owner was quick and simple, and we had all the information we needed to find and access the property (the access road is quite narrow, but you get used to it!). A friendly pub that serves excellent food (Ye Old Ferrie Inn) within easy walking distance. Good walks straight from the cottage and others further afield. The hand ferries across the river at 2 local pubs don't seem to run reliably at the moment, so don't rely on them.

Family break to symonds yat
Overall, location great, good spot to explore local amenities, good walking to be had. However, although the decor was good; the bathroom let the whole house down as it was badly in need of a total re - curb and an issue with almost no hot water pressure to the bath and hand basin, but the electric shower was OK. The left hand side of the bath panel was disintegrating and looked DREADFULLY mouldy and really let the rest of the house down. The kitchen was well stocked with the usual items, but perhaps a veg steamer might come in handy.

Lovely cottage, pity about the access road!
Cottage very nice indeed and well managed by Debbie. I did not check out the terrain before booking though and as I am afraid of heights I found the access road rather unnerving, I would probably get used to it in time but business interests called me back to Somerset so it was academic.

Beautiful location
Nice house with beautiful views. The house had everything you could need for your stay and the patio at the back was just the right size for our 2 dogs. A little bit disappointed that I Had to do a bit of cleaning when I arrived, windows covered in cobwebs inside, outside desperately need a clean, kitchen tiles very greasy and floor needed a wipe over. We were also disappointed not to be told that the road would be closed for 3 days of our stay right outside side the mews entrance, couldn't get the car out.

A great find!
Our second year running staying at this cottage. The cottage is spacious for a small family and is well equipped. Communications with the owner helpful and friendly. The cottage is in a great position with beautiful views and just a very short stroll to the river with lots of walks, activities and pubs nearby. Ye Old Ferrie Inn just a 10 minute walk away has gorgeous views up and down the river with inside & outside seating (book ahead though, it gets busy!). Loads of canoeing centres around, we went with Canoe the Wye which is the closest and was well organised and made for a lovely day. The Hedge Puzzle and mini golf course just down the road was good fun and Goodrich Castle is only a 10 minute drive away and a good day out. The climb up to Symonds Yat Rock nearly killed me but the views from the top are breathtaking, definitely worth the hike! All in all, a great area to visit and an ideal cottage from which to enjoy it. Thanks Debbie, we hope to return again some time.

Great Getaway - lovely walks and good local pub to eat. No shop nearby so ensure you bring supplies
The cottage was clean and very comfortable, with everything you need, the only reason I gave it a four star was the back of the house needed a bit of an update and windows cleaned, but that didn’t detract from the cottage, well worth a stay.

A lovely cottage with a fantastic view
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was well equipped and communication with the property manager was excellent. Everyone staying in the cottages, a mix of owners and holiday makers were friendly. The gardens are well maintained and there are lots of well placed benches and picnic tables to enjoy the garden and the view. The pictures don't quite do justice to the view and the cottage.

Lovely Peaceful Cottage.
A lovely cottage in a very peaceful setting. The drive to the cottage is a bit of an adventure at the moment due to the main road being closed however the owner gives fair warning and clear instructions about the narrow approach road. The cottage is very cosy and has everything you need. Good WiFi. There is a lovely walk to the pub down the road. I'm sure there are lots of other walks bit we didn't have time to do that on this occasion.

Very comfortable accommodation. Lovely walks on the doorstep and close to a nice pub. The access road was very narrow, but we were forewarned so made sure we had enough provisions so as to not have to move the car again until we left. Would recommend the half day canoe hire.
