We have stayed in this cottage before and absolutely love it. It’s clean and tidy and has everything you need for a stay. The location is perfect for walking and seeing the sites around Symonds Yat . The Cottage is on quite steep Hill so if you have any mobility issues it might be hard for you. It is so tranquil and peaceful the host is polite and communication easy we will definitely be back again .

Another great stay

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.

Girls 60th getaway

Lovely comfortable cottage with all you could need, beautiful surroundings, the only downside was we were unable to get taxis or Uber to come to the property, there is usually a ferry to take you across the water, but unfortunately it isn’t gonna be working until possibly after Easter, so we sweet talked the bar staff into taking us back for a small fee - definitely would stay again - great communication from the host Debbie.

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.

nice cottage with parking 1 mile away due to road collapsing.

alternative track to cottage is unsuitable for motor vehicles .signs say this and its true. had to carry our suit cases and God knows what else 1 mile and then 1 mile back. cottage was very nice with real wood floors and comfy bed but we also had mice in living room and kitchen. would return if they ever get upper road re opened.

Great Location

A well equipt property which overlooks the river wye. Saracens Head easily reached via the ferry which runs directly below the property & Ferrie Inn Pub a 15min walk back down the lane. Road Access This is probably the main issue you maybe aware of & yes the road is extremely narrow in places especially as you enter the lane (Ferrie Inn Pub). Once this is navigated however it does open up more & there are a few passing points on the way. Obvious benefit with smaller cars but standard can access also such as a Vauxhall Insignia in our case.

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.
