Symonds Yat, Ross-on-Wye, HR9 6BL

Visit Website

An idyllic self-catering retreat perched on the cliffs of stunning Symonds Yat in Herefordshire. Built in 1850 and brimming with charm, this dog friendly hideaway offers Scandi chic interiors and unparalleled views.

For dogs...

Owners of The Rapids Cottage, Holly and Josh, love dogs and welcome up to three four-legged friends at no additional charge.

The huge decked area that wraps around the front and side of the cottage is the perfect spot for outdoor snoozing or wildlife watching. There are extending gates to semi-close it off and keep playful pups from escaping.

Located deep within the ancient woodlands of the Symonds Yat Valley, the cottage offers incredible dog walks right from the doorstep.

 

For humans...

The two gorgeous bedrooms both have amazing views but we particularly love the master bedroom with its balcony overlooking the woodland below.

Enjoy the four-person William Holland jetted bath. Come rain or come shine, it’s the perfect place to hang out, especially when the mist is rising from the river.

Spend your evenings snuggled up watching your favourite movie in the private outdoor woodland cinema. Don’t worry, it’s fully waterproof and comes with blankets.

Good to know

Overview

A home away from home, downstairs thereโ€™s a cosy living area with a sumptuous sofa and a warming log burner โ€“ a prime snoozing spot for furry friends. The separate kitchen and dining area has everything you need should you wish to stay in and cook up a storm.

Upstairs, the cottage boasts two gorgeous bedrooms; one king size, with its very own balcony, and one which can be made up as a king or a twin room. Both rooms have amazing views and if you leave the windows open, youโ€™ll fall asleep to the swooshing of the rapids. The modern bathroom has a large walk-in shower, perfect for easing the aches of the dayโ€™s dog-walking adventures.

Outside, thereโ€™s a decked area where youโ€™ll want to sit and sip your morning cup of tea. Spend your evenings snuggled up watching your favourite movie in the private outdoor woodland cinema or under the star-filled sky enjoying the four person William Holland jetted bath.

Please note, the cottage is reached via a steep, uneven walkway.

For The Dogs

Three dogs are welcome to join you at The Rapids Cottage and are included in the price. There are extending gates to semi-close off the decked area if youโ€™d like a little more security for your four-legged friend. However, at 90cm high, thereโ€™s still potential for keen jumpers to escape if they really want to. Dog bowls will be waiting for your best furry friend but bring their bed for them to snooze on.

Price

From ยฃ160 per night with no additional charge for dogs.

The Area

Located deep within the ancient woodlands of the Symonds Yat Valley, The Rapids Cottage offers dog walks from the doorstep. Should you simply prefer to hunker down during your stay and not head too far from your idyllic retreat, your four-legged friend is still assured of plenty to see and sniff simply by ambling along the local footpaths and venturing down to the riverside.
