Great location and would go again!!

We stayed for 3 nights with a group of adults and children, great layout and brilliant location. Area is quiet at night and buzzy during the day. Nice bottle of complementary bubbly, biscuits and milk on arrival!

A brilliant place to stay,

Next to a pub, with good beer and food, but quiet with a bit of a buzz in the middle of the day, but quiet morning and from late afternoon; perfect. Comfy bed, good quality sheets. Well supplied kitchen for cooking and entertaining

Perfect holiday rental in a beautiful location

Attentive owners looking after our every need. Exceptionally well equipped kitchen, beautifully renovated throughout. Overlooking the River Wye and watching the kayakers was the cherry on the cake.

Lovely House with a riverside view.

Clean, very comfortable and extremely well equipped house overlooking the River Wye. There were six of us on a long weekend and more than enough space for the copious amount of food and drink we took with us, with the additional fridge and freezer. The spacious front balcony overlooking the River was an added bonus and pleasant to sit with friends and wine and watch all the River activity. There are plentiful walks in the area without taking the car. The owners were friendly and responsive to any needs we had and own the pub next door so easy to contact if necessary. All in all, this is a lovely home from home property with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing holiday in a stunning part of the country.

Perfect house for family gathering

The house was very well situated; my parents loved to be able to watch people coming and going along the river and the road outside whilst sitting in comfort on the terrace. The house was very well equipped and certainly plenty of space for the 6 of us and would easily accommodate the 8. Clean and tidy upon arrival and we were grateful to be able to have an early check in and late check out. No traffic or people noise inside the house. Very useful car parking area for 4 cars, very important during busy months. The sun shined all weekend, we were very lucky.

Perfect for family and friends

The house is in the most perfect location with amazing views, right on the banks of the river wye and next door to the owners lovely pub / hotel, The Saracens Head. The house is very well equiped and would cater well for both families and a group of friends looking for a relaxed stay. I stay at the pub/hotel many times on business and its always a pleasure to come back, especially with my family. Can't recommend it highly enough.

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!

A perfect place for a family get together

The Weir House was ideal for a family get together. It was spacious and well equipped.The large kitchen was a definite plus. The location was perfect over looking the river. There were numerous walks and cycling opportunities from the doorstep as well as a variety of water activities. The Saracens Head next door was a great place to have a meal or a drink..We will definitely return.

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!

Extended family - perfect house and location

Grandparents, parents and 12 year old grandchild. Re-visiting the Ross area to see relatives and to look around the town and the area. Weir House was perfect. Always something to watch from the patio - the river, the woods, the birds. Plenty of space for us. A very well-equipped kitchen though we ate at the brilliant Saracen’s Head next door. Ross is a bustling market town with many shops. The nearby Butterfly Farm visit was a great success for our grandchild. A week would not have been enough to see all that was in easy reach of Weir House. We even had our own parking space. Thank you so much for the yummy welcome gifts. 10/10!

Surprise 60th birthday weekend

Wow what a property. It has everything. Perfect location with easy parking and lovely views across the Wye River. Renovated to a very high standard with large kitchen diner to eat and relax with snug area having large screen TV all to accommodate 3 generations of our family. The property had everything for us to have a lovely weekend with great pub next door for fabulous food and drinks with lovely walks and water sport facility nearby. We highly recommend this facility and look forward to booking again in the future. Thank you to the owners again.

A Perfect family Bolthole

We had a fabulous time in this stunning house which is in a perfect location in Symonds Yat right on the river. We had mixed weather but enjoyed our terrace BBQs and sitting at the kitchen table which easily sits 8 for family games every night. The house is beautifully renovated and easily sleeps 8 with 4 bathrooms which was a real godsend. Any small things we were short off we could pop to the Saracen’s head next door who were most accommodating. We would not hesitate to return to enable us to explore some more of this beautiful area. Would highly recommend.

Gem on the River: A Review of Weir House

What a gem! Weir House is a lovely modern bright property with plenty of space. The views of the river are breathtaking. The top floor, as well as having two bedrooms and a bathroom, also has a nice little break out area with a study desk, small table and even a small fridge, it's perfect if someone in your group wants their own space. Ample parking right outside. Pete and his team were friendly, responsive and even left us welcome gifts. It's peaceful and quiet despite being a popular area for visitors with a restaurant next door, we could even hear the birds sing which was a delight. The house had everything we needed apart from food of course so you may want to take something as there's no shop in the immediate vicinity but Pete left us milk and we had a great breakfast at Woods of Whitchurch which is only 10 mins drive. Enjoyed lovely meals at Saracens next door & the Royal Lodge a few doors away. Very picturesque to walk along the river and up to Yat Rock. Goodrich Castle & Ross on Wye are a short drive away. Driving up to the house late evening is just stunning with the lights from houses on the other side of the river all the way up the hill like stars. Wish we could've stayed longer. Thank you Pete for a great stay.
