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.

Wye Rapids Cottage

Overall impression was that it was lovely, a beautiful position with views across the valley. The cottage was obviously well maintained and with everything had been thought about. There were lots of places to go and to walk all not far from the cottage. Some lovely pubs close by serving good food and dogs welcome. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer!

Beautiful home in a beautiful place

We had a really lovely few days here. The house is beautiful and has everything you could possibly need. Very clean and a home from home. The location is perfect with just a short walk to a good pub with excellent food and service, the hand pulled ferry is a very short walk from the property. We had a really lovely mini break and thoroughly recommend the accommodation.

Very beautiful cottage in a beautiful location, a few niggling problems but nothing that made our stay any less enjoyable. The local towns & pubs etc are lovely. Woukk OK d definitely recommend but only when the main road is open, the small lane is ridiculous to navigate through
