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 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!
