Pear Tree Cottage

Pear Tree Cottage is a beautifully renovated country cottage in the village of Goodrich, near Ross-on-Wye, in the heart of the Wye Valley. Sleeping six across three bedrooms, it is a peaceful rural retreat that blends original character with thoroughly modern comfort — and, unusually, it is genuinely accessible, with a ground-floor bedroom and wet room.

A characterful Wye Valley cottage in Goodrich

The heart of the cottage is a lovely open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, where an original cider press has been cleverly turned into a breakfast bar and kitchen island. A wood burner keeps things welcoming on cooler evenings, and there is plenty of comfortable space for the whole party to gather. Step outside to a private terrace with garden furniture and a fire pit, plus shared gardens with benches and picnic tables for lazy afternoons.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

There are three bedrooms. The ground-floor room can be made up as a super-king double or as twin singles, and has its own accessible wet room with a large shower — a real plus for anyone who finds stairs difficult. Upstairs are two further rooms that can each be a super-king double or twins, served by two en-suite bathrooms with a bath, separate shower and WC. There is also a handy ground-floor cloakroom with a washer-dryer.

Things to do nearby

This is a wonderful base for exploring one of Britain’s most scenic river valleys. Goodrich Castle, maintained by English Heritage, is almost on the doorstep. A few minutes further on, the famous viewpoint at Symonds Yat Rock looks down over a dramatic loop of the Wye, with peregrine falcons nesting on the cliffs and canoe trips setting off from the river below. The ancient woodland of the Forest of Dean is close by for cycling and walking, and the Malvern Hills, Hereford and the edge of the Brecon Beacons are all within an easy drive for day trips.

Who it suits

With its flexible bedrooms and step-free ground-floor option, Pear Tree Cottage suits families, groups of friends and multi-generational holidays where accessibility matters. It is equally good for couples wanting a quiet countryside escape with plenty of walking, history and riverside scenery right on the doorstep.

Good to know

Thoughtfully renovated and genuinely flexible, Pear Tree Cottage works just as well for a step-free stay as for a lively family gathering, with bedrooms that switch easily between doubles and twins to suit your party. The wood burner and the private terrace with its fire pit make it inviting in every season, and there is ample parking for everyone. Goodrich Castle and the riverside town of Ross-on-Wye are both only a short drive away, with the wider Wye Valley and Forest of Dean close enough for easy day trips.
