Things to do nearby

Symonds Yat is one of the highlights of the Wye Valley. The famous viewpoint at Symonds Yat Rock looks down over a great loop of the river, with peregrine falcons nesting on the cliffs, and canoe trips set off from the river just a few minutes’ walk away. The ancient woodland of the Forest of Dean is close at hand, with the magical Puzzlewood and family attractions nearby, while Monmouth and its castle, Goodrich Castle and Ross-on-Wye are all within an easy drive for a change of scene.

Who it suits

With cottages of different sizes and a welcome for dogs, Paddocks Cottages suit couples wanting a quiet rural retreat just as well as families and larger groups booking several together. The bike hire and riverside location make them especially good for cyclists, walkers and anyone who loves the outdoors.

Good to know

Because the cottages come in different sizes, you can tailor your booking to your party — one cottage for two, or the whole group of up to fourteen across all five. Dogs are welcome, with one pet per cottage by arrangement, and the quiet setting makes it a relaxed spot to unwind. Booking ahead is recommended in summer, when the Wye Valley is at its most popular for canoeing and walking.
