About this property

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

7 Wye Rapids Cottage is in a beautiful location along a quiet lane overlooking the River Wye and enjoys spectacular views of the renowned wooded valley that is Symonds Yat.

This property is also our little home from home and we want you to feel as comfortable as we do. Aside from the stunning elevated position the property has a lovely wood burning stove with a generous stock of wood, lovely comfortable beds and a whole range of home comforts. We don't want it to feel like just another holiday let.

As it's on the end of the row the good sized rear courtyard can be accessed easily without going through the cottage - perfect if you have bikes, canoes or just a muddy dog!!

The property enjoys a truly stunning elevated position with fantastic views of the river, surrounded by beautiful tracks for walking (with or without dogs!) or cycling. It's a nature lovers / bird-watcher's paradise, not to mention those that enjoy river activities such as canoeing, kayaking etc.

In addition, there are some great local pubs in total 5 within a lovely 30 minute walk (the nearest just 10 minutes walk). They are all very friendly and welcoming with a great selection of food and drink...and they love dogs!

You can cross the river via a hand-operated ferry, run by the staff of the Saracen's Head pub opposite the property - located 5 minutes walk from the cottage.

Since acquiring the property in 2016 with have renewed / upgraded most of it including a new kitchen and a new bathroom at the end of 2017. We will work hard to maintain and improve the standard throughout.

Fantastic Holiday
Yet again we found the property extremely clean and well equipped, everything you could possibly need was all supplied. The surrounding area is as beautiful as ever and the surrounding pubs were good especially the olde ferries inn where we ate 3 times.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Kerry & Adrian Summerton

Host profile image
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!.
