Overview
Property code: 72538

Symonds Yat West sits to the edge of the River Wye, enjoying views across the river to the home of the Symonds Yat Rock, one of the major attractions within the Wye Valley. You are well served with access to pubs, restaurants, the maze, butterfly zoo and oriental gardens, along with boat trips and canoe hire. You can cross the water via the foot ferry giving access to the rock where you can climb the 120 metres to enjoy the views or why not follow the river along the Wye Valley foot path, or the Offa’s Dyke for a little more rugged scenery. Visit the Forest of Dean, explore the woodland and the family cycle trail that guides you through a mixed terrain of lakes, sculptures and rich forests.

Take in the views across the River Wye and valley before you step into this traditional cottage, the snug offers a warm welcome with comfortable sofas fronting the wood burner and TV/DVD, providing a perfect space for you to hide away. The lounge is situated to the front of the cottage enjoying views across the valley, a spacious room with sofas and chairs where you can get together to enjoy a good movie on the large 4K TV or gaming on the Xbox. The kitchen/diner provides a contemporary twist with fine lines of black work tops and white cabinets, well-equipped with gas oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The dining area is open-plan with a large table that will accommodate eight guests. Completing the ground floor is a shower room with shower and WC, here you will also find a utility area with washing machine. So, when the day is done climb the stairs to the first floor where you will find four bedrooms, a double room with views over the valley, a further double also with great views, a twin bedroom and a super-king-size zip-and-link (which can be made up as a twin on request at the point of booking).

A lovely cottage situated in a great location. There was plenty of storage space and a good sized kitchen and utility room was much appreciated. Car parking for 3 cars but a easy to use paid car park directly opposite works well for additional cars. Direct walking straight into the forest and walking distance to a nice pub on the riverside.

Our party of six enjoyed a stay at Quarry Cottage for a birthday weekend.

Very nice property in a good position, pub only a few minutes walk. The property was equipped very well. I understand what people were saying about the driveway, it does take some getting used to. I wish the front garden was fully enclosed, we had to keep dogs on their leads.

We had a lovely stay over Christmas- having the wood burner with a chimney for Santa was great. The cottage is perfect for a family stay; a large porch for boots, utility room with an extra fridge (and freezer) saved the day and we had some great walks along the river.
