The Weir House - Symonds Yat

Sitting just above the banks of the River Wye, 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.

En-Suite:
In the en-suite is a shower, WC and sink and there is room to store your toiletries so you can feel at home.

Bedroom Two:
Two single beds furnish bedroom two and you can also enjoy a river view from here. There are bedside tables, a chest of drawers, wardrobe and Smart TV.

En-Suite:
This twin room also has an en-suite shower room with shower, WC and sink.

Bathroom:
Completing the first floor is a family bathroom, so you have the option to relax amongst the bubbles after a long country hike, perhaps to see the views from nearby Yat Rock. There is a deep bath with shower over with a rainfall shower over, and a WC and sink.

Second Floor

Bedroom Three:
At the top of the house, bedroom one has a double bed and looks over the river to the trees beyond through a Velux window. It is well furnished with bedside tables chest of drawers and hanging space. Both second floor bedrooms sit under the roof and have reduced head height on one side.

Bedroom Four:
The second double bedroom on this floor also has bedside tables, chest of drawers and hanging space. Wake up and open the Velux window to gaze across the river.

Sitting Area:
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. Fire up the BBQ and enjoy time here no matter the weather. Behind the house is a second terrace where you will find laundry facilities.

A perfect place for a family get together
The Weir House was ideal for a family get together. It was spacious and well equipped.The large kitchen was a definite plus. The location was perfect over looking the river. There were numerous walks and cycling opportunities from the doorstep as well as a variety of water activities. The Saracens Head next door was a great place to have a meal or a drink..We will definitely return.

Perfect for family and friends
The house is in the most perfect location with amazing views, right on the banks of the river wye and next door to the owners lovely pub / hotel, The Saracens Head. The house is very well equiped and would cater well for both families and a group of friends looking for a relaxed stay. I stay at the pub/hotel many times on business and its always a pleasure to come back, especially with my family. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Renovated to a very high standard with large kitchen diner to eat and relax with snug area having large screen TV all to accommodate 3 generations of our family. The property had everything for us to have a lovely weekend with great pub next door for fabulous food and drinks with lovely walks and water sport facility nearby. We highly recommend this facility and look forward to booking again in the future. Thank you to the owners again.

A Perfect family Bolthole
We had a fabulous time in this stunning house which is in a perfect location in Symonds Yat right on the river. We had mixed weather but enjoyed our terrace BBQs and sitting at the kitchen table which easily sits 8 for family games every night. The house is beautifully renovated and easily sleeps 8 with 4 bathrooms which was a real godsend. Any small things we were short off we could pop to the Saracen’s head next door who were most accommodating. We would not hesitate to return to enable us to explore some more of this beautiful area. Would highly recommend.

Gem on the River: A Review of Weir House
What a gem! Weir House is a lovely modern bright property with plenty of space. The views of the river are breathtaking. The top floor, as well as having two bedrooms and a bathroom, also has a nice little break out area with a study desk, small table and even a small fridge, it's perfect if someone in your group wants their own space. Ample parking right outside. Pete and his team were friendly, responsive and even left us welcome gifts. It's peaceful and quiet despite being a popular area for visitors with a restaurant next door, we could even hear the birds sing which was a delight. The house had everything we needed apart from food of course so you may want to take something as there's no shop in the immediate vicinity but Pete left us milk and we had a great breakfast at Woods of Whitchurch which is only 10 mins drive. Enjoyed lovely meals at Saracens next door & the Royal Lodge a few doors away. Very picturesque to walk along the river and up to Yat Rock. Goodrich Castle & Ross on Wye are a short drive away. Driving up to the house late evening is just stunning with the lights from houses on the other side of the river all the way up the hill like stars. Wish we could've stayed longer. Thank you Pete for a great stay.

A perfect stay!
This is the best short term rental I have EVER experienced. The views from the windows are stunning and inside the attention to detail is amazing. Everything you might need has been thought of and provided: excellent internet and copious plugs with USB ports; hair driers in every room; a lovely and perfectly equipped kitchen. How nice to be welcomed with plenty of milk, as well as a bottle of fizz and chocolate treats. Plus, the pub next door welcomed us with a great dinner and fabulous service. We will for sure be back!

Peaceful birthday retreat
Had an excellent bank holiday weekend relaxing by the Wye, celebrating a big birthday. The house is really clean, freshly re-done and really well equipped to cook food for 8 or more, or failing that, well located to go to the pub next door. Lots to explore in the area, and simple check in process. The terrace is great for catching the late afternoon sun and watching the world go by!
