Olive Barn at Cwmhir Court
Such a lovely private spacious house and garden. A great set up for a break away with our extended family. Plenty of room to get together to cook, eat and socialise, then split off for some more quiet time when needed. Everything was clean and tidy, and we had all we needed. A beautiful location and very near to hay on wye which is worth a visit. Only slight downside is that the internet wasn’t brilliant, but that’s to be expected in the middle of the countryside and also meant we weren’t sat on our phones scrolling too much! The internet did work, just not super fast. Definitely recommend, and we’ll be looking to book again.

Cosy House on the Edge of Brecon Beacons
The house was kept in an immaculate state and comfortably housed the 6 guests we were. It served the purpose of being a base for our excursions to Pen Y Fan and the Four Waterfalls, and had a lovely homely vibe.

The Beach Barn
Absolutely beautiful place in such a beautiful setting. My hubby and I felt very at home here. Our two little dogs loved it. The beach barn was spotless. The photos of the place are true to what it's like, however, if you're organised like us and think of bringing along coffee pods as you've seen photos of the machine so to not use all of the host's pods. Be aware it is not a Dolce Gusto machine, they now have a Tassimo. Don't fall into buying the wrong pods like we did by looking at the photos🤦♀️😂 A very short walk to The Captain's Wife pub and 1988 Indian, the food at both of these places is lovely and definitely worth trying! Lots of things to do and places to see whilst here. We drove to the Barrages walking over to Cardiff Bay, definitely worth a visit and also try Cosmeston Lakes Country Park, lovely walk around there and the medieval village. Barry Island beach is also perfect, it's lovely, clean, and perfect for dogs! We'd love to return the beach barn again in the future.

Secluded 2 bedroom bungalow in beautiful Somerset
We loved our stay at Yvonne's, the apartment was cosy and felt very authentic to the farm surroundings, the patio was well sealed for our dog, we really appreciated the bread and fresh eggs from the chickens, and the view is stunning. Bonus was the very friendly turkey who came to say hello! Would definitely recommend.

Quirky cosy town house
Very handy for Bike Park Wales

Large rural farmhouse. Dog friendly. Stunning view
What a fabulous stay we had at Rimmer’s Farm House. An absolutely stunning house and an incredible welcome hamper including cake, Easter chocolate, dog treats, fresh eggs, milk, breakfast juices etc. The house is extremely spacious and the hosts have thought of just about every additional touch to make it a very special stay for families and friends.

House slps 22 . Close to Bredenbury Court

Your guide to Symonds Yat
All About Symonds Yat
Centrally located in the designated Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just a few kilometres from the Welsh border, Symonds Yat is a picturesque village with traditional whitewashed English cottages nestled amid the willows along the River Wye. Wood-clad passenger boats ferry travellers up and down the river, weaving between kayakers and paddleboarders, and beer gardens line the water’s edge. Densely wooded hillsides stretch up the valley, framing the town in green. Cafes perched atop ancient stone walls provide exceptional views of the picturesque valley, as well as local ales and home-inspired meals.
Travellers flock to Symonds Yat not just for its laid-back atmosphere but also for all the opportunities it offers to explore the surrounding nature areas, including hiking, swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Symonds Yat
Overall, the climate of Symonds Yat is temperate, with moderate variations between the seasons. The summer months are characterized by warm, sun-filled days, prompting locals and visitors alike to take to the water for afternoons of swimming and paddling. Conversely, the winters tend to be cold and dark. Temperatures drop during these months, bringing many frosty mornings and the occasional dusting of snow. For hiking and exploring the hinterlands, the shoulder seasons, particularly in the latter half of the year, can be an excellent time to visit, as the temperatures are brisk, and brilliant earthen orange hues dominate the autumn landscape. Regardless of the time of year, it is a good idea to pack a rain jacket, as precipitation is common and relatively consistent throughout the year, with moderate upticks in the fall and winter.
Top things to do in Symonds Yat
Symonds Yat Rock
Located on the site of a 2,500-year-old fort, Symonds Yat Rock’s high cliffs offer one of the most dramatic, and romantic, viewpoints over the Wye Valley and the Dean Forest. Hiking trails and cycling paths will lead you through the beautiful woods of Herefordshire up to this observation point, which is also one of the region's best spots for spotting hawks and falcons.
Goodrich Castle
This beautifully preserved, 11th-century stone fortification is open for visitors to explore. Here you’ll find a wonderfully maintained exhibition that displays cannonballs and other artefacts found in the area that date back to the English Civil War, which the castle played a prominent role in in 1646. In the castle’s awe-inspiring, 13th-century chapel, you can bask in the multicoloured light from 800-year-old stained glass windows.
King Arthur's Cave
Mystery surrounds the history of this limestone cave formation, just west of town, and how it came to share a name with the legendary English king. Today, the cave is noted for its fascinating geological makeup and expansive interior. Before reaching the mouth of the cave, you’ll follow trails that meander through the ancient forests of the Lord’s Wood. You can explore the shallow cave and the surrounding woods of the Herefordshire Nature Trust between dawn and dusk each day.
