Overlooking the River Wye, where it flows into the gorge at Symonds Yat East, The Weir House provides the perfect base for getting back to nature in this truly beautiful part of the country. Renovated to a high standard with a stylish Scandi finish, this four bedroom house set over three floors is a delight to come home to at the end of the day. With the Wye Valley on your doorstep on the edge of the Forest of Dean, the options of activities here are endless. From walking to cycling, paddling to caving, your day can be as adventurous or as relaxing as you’d like it to be.
Full Description
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.

Ground Floor


Kitchen/Dining Room:
The open plan kitchen/dining area is where you will spend the majority of your time together. This bright and welcoming room looks through the French doors across the terrace to the wooded slopes opposite. A modern woodburning stove adds comfort and warmth while you dine at the table seating eight. A breakfast bar separates the kitchen area and provides space to serve from. Beyond, the well-equipped kitchen has a range cooker, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine, dishwasher and ample fridge/freezers. There is plenty of storage space including a handy pantry.

Living Room:
This cosy room has been beautifully finished with light wood and neutral colours, offset by the bright blue sofas. With space for six to sit comfortably, retire here after dinner once the children have gone to bed for evening drinks or a movie night on the large Smart TV. Doors open to the terrace so you can extend the space and watch the sun setting over the hills.

First Floor


Bedroom One:
Wake up in the king-size bedroom to a river view whetting your appetite for exploration. There are bedside tables, a chest of drawers, wardrobe and a Smart TV so you can relax here at the end of the day.

Bedroom Three:

A surprising addition at The Weir House is the second floor sitting area. With a mini fridge and kettle you don’t need to head down to the kitchen to make a morning cup of coffee. There is a table and four chairs for guests of bedrooms one and two to spend time together and a Smart TV. If you need to catch up on work there is also a small desk. A door opens to the rear terrace and looking up the hill behind, you will see the famous red chalet often seen in the popular Sex Education TV series.

Shower Room:
Equipped with a shower, WC and sink, this shower room can be shared between guests staying in bedrooms one and two.

Outside


Make the most of your stay at The Weir House by watching the river flow by from the terrace. Dine al fresco, have a morning coffee and pastry or just sit with a book as paddleboarders float on by.

Attentive owners looking after our every need. Exceptionally well equipped kitchen, beautifully renovated throughout. Overlooking the River Wye and watching the kayakers was the cherry on the cake.

Grandparents, parents and 12 year old grandchild. Re-visiting the Ross area to see relatives and to look around the town and the area. Weir House was perfect. Always something to watch from the patio - the river, the woods, the birds. Plenty of space for us. A very well-equipped kitchen though we ate at the brilliant Saracen’s Head next door. Ross is a bustling market town with many shops. The nearby Butterfly Farm visit was a great success for our grandchild. A week would not have been enough to see all that was in easy reach of Weir House. We even had our own parking space. Thank you so much for the yummy welcome gifts. 10/10!

The Weir House, Symonds Yat was the perfect venue for our family celebration. The accommodation was even more spectacular than the website pictures! Greg welcomed us into the house on our arrival and could not have been more helpful throughout our stay. The Inn is definitely worth visiting for the food and drink. The area is renown for ramblers, dog walkers and river sports but the Weir House is also the perfect place to relax and watch the world go by.

A group of us stayed here, a beautiful house with plenty of room and excellent facilities such as a spacious kitchen, outside area and a log fire. Gorgeous décor and stunning views. The host was super helpful and friendly.

An excellent place to stay for the 8 of us (4 couples). The listing reflected what was there. The place was clean, tidy and a joy to stay at. Very handy that the owner and key collection / drop off is the landlord of the pub next door. Would happily recommend.

A group of us spent the weekend at The Weir House, what a great find! Clean, well appointed house with a fantastic view. Would definitely come again. The house has all the necessary kitchen items as well as a nice central table to gather round. Bathrooms all clean and tidy. This property worked well for our group with the added benefit of the pub next door.

We stayed at The Weir House for a ladies cycling weekend in September, the house was beautifully decorated and equipped. Couldn’t fault the space or location.

Location

The stunning Wye Valley is a gateway to relatively untouched nature. Walks along the river or hikes uphill to Yat Rock reward you with beautiful views. It is one of the best spots to see Peregrine Falcons in the country. From the doorstep of The Weir House you can follow circular walking routes across Biblins Bridge and in summer cross the river using the hand-pulled ferry. Watersports are available down the lane and you are next door to The Saracens Head for delicious meals out.
