About this property

Picturesque Cottage In Symonds Yat - Dogs stay free + no charge for fire wood!

Welcome to our peaceful riverside retreat at Wye Rapids Cottages, nestled in the heart of Symonds Yat. Here you’ll find the perfect blend of comfort, character, and nature right on your doorstep.

The cottage itself is warm and inviting, designed to feel like a true home-from-home. You’ll find cosy furnishings, comfortable beds, and thoughtful touches throughout. On cooler evenings, light up the wood-burning stove and settle in for a quiet, relaxing night. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals, while the enclosed courtyard is practical for dogs, bikes, or even canoes.

Step outside and you’re surrounded by stunning landscaped gardens. Terraced lawns, stone pathways, and peaceful seating areas offer space to relax with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The picnic benches and garden views are perfect for unwinding after a day exploring.

The setting is what makes this place truly special. The River Wye is just moments away - calm, reflective waters ideal for paddling, paddle-boarding, rowing, or simply strolling along the banks. Symonds Yat is famous for its breath-taking scenery, and from the cottage you can easily access woodland walks, riverside paths, and viewpoints with sweeping panoramas. Whatever the season, and whatever the weather, the Wye Valley has it's own unique magical charm.

For a taste of local hospitality, take a stroll along the riverside path to Ye Old Ferrie Inn, or the hand-pulled ferry across the river to the Saracen’s Head Inn - a unique experience in itself! Whether you fancy a hearty meal, a pint with a view, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, it’s all on your doorstep.

Whether you’re here for outdoor adventure - hiking, cycling, canoeing, or wildlife spotting or to simply slow down and recharge in a beautiful setting, our cottage provides the perfect base.

Come as guests, leave feeling rested, inspired, and reconnected with nature.

Kerry & Adrian love visiting Symonds Yat with their dog Padstow!

Why they chose this property

We have been visitors to the Wye Valley for many years now, and when the opportunity arose in December 2015 to acquire 7 Wye Rapids in this premier location we just had to make it happen.

What makes this property unique

Wood burning stove and a free log store in the rear courtyard. As our cottage is on the end is has gated side access (great for bikes, canoes or muddy boots / dogs!). We've recently upgraded the broadband to high speed fibre optic and provide lots of home comforts for you and your dog!.
