Cosy, quiet cottage, great views
We had a fantastic time with active days and relaxing evenings. The walk to the pub is exciting! The owners made our stay just perfect and made themselves available if we had any questions or problems. The access to the property is a little tricky but this makes the place even more exciting in our opinion. We plan to visit again!

Enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed. In a peaceful spot with fabulous views out from the veranda. Easy to travel to local towns and places of interest. Enjoyed the circular walk from Symonds Yat returning by the ferry. All helped by a spell of hot weather.

Graham & Jan. We have lived in this area for over 22 years and we are still finding new walks to go on. Plenty to do and see in the olocal area.

Why they chose this property

Fell in love with The Cot Cottage when we saw it and we believe it makes the most perfect holiday cottage, in a truly wonderful location.

The Cottage has the most wonderful views over to the river and Symonds Yat Rock.

The cottage has the advantage of being remote, but being able to look down from a distance onto the river activities. Perfect to wind down in the evening with a glass of wine, watching the wildlife (deer, peregrines, hawks etc.).

The Cot is in a wonderful location, away from the crowds, very private, offering wonderful seclusion.

What makes this property unique

Please note: THIS COTTAGE HAS QUITE A FEW STEPS & A LONG SLOPING PATH. (See pictures). The views and seclusion are second to none. The cottage is set in its own grounds of approx. 1 acre, yet it is within a 20 minute walk to the river and riverside pubs.

The cottage itself (circa 1760), is very homely and tastefully decorated and is extremely well equipped. It also comes with the necessities, ie toilet rolls, kitchen rolls, washing up liquid, tea towels etc. and complimentary tea/coffee.

You can go on wonderful varied walks straight from the cottage, either down to the river, or up to King Arthur's Cave or the Roman Fort on top of Little Doward.

There are many tourist activities close by and lots to see and do.
