Nature lovers will enjoy Symonds Yat Rock, where panoramic views over the River Wye make for great photo opportunities, and it’s an ideal spot for birdwatching, particularly for the local peregrine falcons. Canoeing or kayaking along the River Wye is another popular activity, allowing you to immerse yourself in the forest scenery from the water.
In nearby Clearwell Caves, explore an ancient underground labyrinth that has been mined since Roman times. It’s a fascinating, family-friendly activity that adds a historical dimension to your visit.

The property is situated within driving distance of many of the places to visit in the Forest of Dean. We had 2 dogs with us who enjoyed the size of the garden which was well fenced so they could not get out. Everything you need for cooking/eating was provided. All in all an excellent place to stay.
