Symonds Yat: soggiorni in cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Claudia's place. It was the perfect quiet location but within an easy stroll through the countryside to the lovely town of Upton-on-Severn. We made plenty of use of the beautoful garden and hot tub, which was clean and well maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed and the cosy lounge upstairs was perfect for the evenings. We highly recommend staying here.

Lovely stay for the weekend - it’s really beautiful and well appointed. Spotless and spacious. Communication before arrival was excellent. I scraped my ankle and the hosts provided plasters promptly which was much appreciated. Bath was also very comfy, a real treat as we don’t have one! Would definitely recommend.

The cottage was perfect. It was homely, beautifully thought out and furnished with lots of little furnishing to make it really cosy and welcoming. We loved the outside spaces too- the hot tub was amazing and the BBQ area too. It certainly gave us all we needed for a fabulous stay. We’ll definitely be back.

We had a lovely family stay. The cottage and esp the hot tub were fab. Lots for the kids to play with and do, and nice to chill out

This place was great because it felt like it was away from the city, but right outside the front door, you could get a bus to Bristol in under 20 minutes. The pub down the road was within a very easy walkable distance (it was delicious too!). Carley left great instructions and made sure we had everything we needed. My friend is potentially planning on returning with her family too!

A really lovely location, very private and peaceful. There were so many nice local walks and a lovely Jacuzzi to sink into afterwards! The cottage was really cozy and very warm. Meng was really kind and generous with advice and was always ready to offer recommendations and encouraged us to ask if we needed anything. An amazing host, an amazing cottage and an amazing weekend getaway!

Jamie and Dan were brilliant hosts. We were welcomed with the key in the door ready for arrival with a bottle of Prosecco and a bottle of milk for a cup of tea! The cottage was beautifully presented - perfect for a couples retreat. The cottage is very tucked away however, Jamie’s instructions were spot on so made it very easy to find. Dan messaged us to check that we had everything that we wanted and to just let them know if we needed anything. We based ourselves here and went to and from Gloucester and Cheltenham. A lush weekend and would highly recommend!

Thankyou so much for a great couple of days away. The home is beautiful and a great place to stay. Everything that you need is available and very responsive when needed. Thankyou for helping on arrival it is greatly appreciated. We will 100% be visiting again and will recommend to others. Again, thankyou we will see you soon x

There are SuperHosts and then there’s Pete!! What a star - he likes to chat to newcomers if he can, and we found him full of really useful info. He even managed to get us a table at the local pub, The White Horse. It was packed, but the service and food were excellent. He also recommended a walk up to the Kymin, which was fantastic - what a view. Pete also gave us the most generous welcome basket of goodies we’ve ever had!! All in all, the perfect, peaceful, pad in a great location to get anywhere in the Wye valley, Forest of Dean or wider Monmouthshire. And Pete!

Had a lovely few days here, in this cosy cottage near the stream, next to car park and easy walk from town. Quiet and peaceful, and comfortable

Wonderful long weekend at Flagstone Cottage, the most peaceful place we’ve ever been, no car noises whatsoever and beautiful scenery. Cottage was exactly as described. We asked for the BBQ to come back out and Clare actually brought out all the outside furniture for us to use which was a nice surprise when we got back from our day trip. Our 5yo daughter loved the mezzanine bedroom and being able to have multiple baths a day (we only have a shower at home). The walk from Llanthony Priory up Hatterhall hill is amazing and the pint in the priory grounds at the end was very scenic and rewarding! Hay-On-Wye is well worth a visit, Abergavenny also.

We loved the cottage ,so clean and comfortable and the garden/stream /swing and animals were a real hit with the children. We were made to feel very welcome -homemade cake ,lovely coffee ,bread and eggs ,such a nice touch with Easter eggs for the kids . Thank you Tracey and Dave .

We stayed for 2 nights at Sharon’s place and were very happy with everything about the house and area. I had not realised how rural the village was and loved the views from the back door watching the sun rise over the hill. The house was spotless and well appointed. The welcome pack was a nice touch although we had brought food with us. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. We had an Indian takeaway from Merthyr Tydfil the first night which we collected. Only 18 minutes drive away, then cooked the second night. Plenty of utensils in the kitchen. We loved the drive over the moors with the fabulous views and had a wonderful hike in the Brecon Beacons. We also visited Brecon and enjoyed having a look around d the shops. Sharon was very responsive and able to give recommendations. We would recommend to anyone planning to explore the area.

From entering the tree lined driveway to arriving and seeing the view from the property, we were delighted with our choice. The interior didn't disappoint - very welcoming, well laid out and clean. The kitchen was well equipped, bathrooms clean and plenty of hot water for showering. Very peaceful location. Our host was very quick to answer any queries. Great to find some laminated maps/instructions for walks in the immediate area.

What a lovely cottage , situated in an outstanding area of great walks , canoeing and pubs all within easy walking distance. The cottage is cosy and has everything you need including the necessary, wifi, a bluetooth speaker, open fire and nice touches like torches for walking in the evening. The Ye olde Ferrie boat Inn has a great atmosphere and good food and outdoor seating by the river. Dog Friendly inside too. This is only 10 min walk from the cottage. The Saracens head is on the other side of the river . They do have a hand ferry but only in peak season, so otherwise it is an hour walk up the river to the footbridge 30 mins( which is a modern style rope type bridge which is exciting) and then back along the river to the pub 30 mins. Coming back in the dark was fine and under the stars and listening to all the wildlife in the Forest was quite magical. Also dog friendly , so you can choose how energetic you want to be for your lunch or evening meals! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The bungalow is clean, comfortable and provided all that we needed for a short Easter break. The living area was equipped with all the basics, as well as with free Wi-fi and Netflix, although no other channels were available. The tv was small (32"), especially when seated on the sofa or armchair. During our three night stay, the local Forest School and Oakraven Centre had children attending courses, so there was something of a mini 'Rush hour' in the morning and evening. It was not a problem but required wariness for walkers and opposing traffic in a single track road. The woodland walks locally are good and plentiful, Lorraine providing good guidelines to other attractions and trails. A beautiful area.

The cottage was lovely and clean with extra special touches (like tea, milk, homemade cake, etc…) that made us feel very welcome and at home. Great location for the forest and being able to borrow the bikes was a perk. Lots of information with maps etc that was very useful. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. Thank you for everything. Great weekend.

I loved everything about Little Pippins - the space, the calming decor and the location. Everything that was provided had been well thought through. Richard and Kelly were also exemplary hosts in every respect. My stay was one of my best Airbnb experiences. Caroline

We greatly enjoyed our brief retreat at this nice and charming Cotswold Cottage, off the beaten track. Very nice accommodation, immediately felt "like home". Very well equipped (though we didn't make use of the cooking facilities...) and also top regarding heating, insulation, internet access ... And the recommended "King's Head" pub around the corner was excellent (with the unexpected benefit of live music on Saturday evening...). Nice hiking/rambling options, too.

We had the most amazing stay to celebrate our Honeymoon. The cottage was beyond our expectations - felt like we were living in a fairytale. Martin had left lots of useful information about the local area which we used to plan our days and get the most out of our time in the Cotswolds. The cottage itself had everything you could possibly need for the most relaxing, peaceful stay. A trip we will never forget! Thank you for letting us experience a little cottage life with such breathtaking views all around! We cannot wait to visit again!

Extremely well serviced upon arrival , milk ,breakfast cereal ,lots of bathroom products and cleaners for kitchen surfaces , was given exact directions being a 15 min walk to local pub the property gives easy access to Cardiff and points of interest locally also within a couple of hours to the Cotswolds and Wye valley .

Lovely place to stay in a beautiful location. Cottage was clean and cosy, really appreciated the welcoming food left for us, brownies were great! Surrounding area was great to explore. Friendly host, loved our stay and would definitely return again. Thanks!

Loved our bank holiday weekend stay. 2 adults, 3 kids and a dog. Serena was very accommodating and welcoming. Offered some great places to visit when we arrived. The accommodation was perfect and spacious. Very well equipped and clean throughout. Lots of nice homely touches throughout. The garden was nice and big for the dog to run around in. Nice big grass area for the kids to play in. There was a BBQ and firepit in the garden which we made good use of. The kids loved the friendly horses in the field next to us and the area was very peaceful with some lovely views. We visited the bell pub for food on the Friday which was brilliant, highly recommended. Also the secret garden for Sunday dinner, also very good and had a huge garden and lots of outside seating. We visited Hereford to have a walk round the shops. Oakchurch Farm shop (ice cream was incredible) and Queenswood country park are well worth a visit also.

Beautiful cottage set in a terrace of a popular walking village. The entire cottage was so comfy and very well equipped. The BBQ hut was also a great touch and we loved the lounge chairs and fire pit up the top garden.The small front garden was lovely first thing in the morning when the sun shone. The decor was fantastic in every room. We book cottages a lot and this has to be one in our top 10. The only thing missing was a front gate as we had dogs and the road was so busy due to the second route closed. We did bring a dog crate so wasn't an issue as we had a bonkers spaniel. The Red Cow pub has fab beers and cheap but stunning food.
