The Weir House

Sitting just above the banks of the River Wye above Symonds Yat East, The Weir House is made for walkers, cyclists, mountain bikers, watersports enthusiasts and groups of families and friends looking to spend quality time together. Surrounded by beautiful views, with the Netflix TV series Sex Education chalet in the woods behind, you will have a fantastic stay here no matter where your interests lie.

Set over three floors this incredibly well-equipped house has been finished to a high standard. The contemporary kitchen/dining area is warmed by a wood burner and is the heart of the home. Enjoy celebratory meals together here and step out onto the terrace for a toast on the river’s edge. At the end of busy days, put your feet up in the living room and chill out catching up on your favourite series on the large Smart TV. Perfect for multiple families sharing with two en-suite shower rooms and a further two bathrooms. The addition of a small sitting area on the second floor makes this a wonderfully communal house.

Making the most of the location, the private terrace enjoys uninterrupted views of the River Wye, you can dine al fresco while watching canoes float by on their way to tackle the rapids further downstream. You can enjoy this area no matter the weather and store muddy boots here after a long walk. Across the quiet lane is off road parking for four cars, a fantastic amenity that is hard to come by in this village.
