Summary: Eight members of our family spent a lovely long weekend at Riversdale Lodge to celebrate two 80th birthdays and everyone had a fantastic time. The house is lovely and in a gorgeous setting - we felt totally relaxed immediately on arrival. The beds are very comfortable, the communal spaces inside and out were spacious and everything needed was provided. We spent much of our time outdoors; the garden provided everything to keep our grandgirls happy - a warm pool, a zip wire and a trampoline - no chance of them being bored for a second! The adults loved the pool, too - the weather was a bit cool following some hot weather, but the water was pleasantly warm. We loved having the gate to the river, where wild swimming in the Wye was greatly enjoyed by the girls as well as adults, along with pleasant walks. The sound of the river at all times was delightful. Besides cooking meals in the very well-equipped kitchen we enjoyed meals at Ye Olde Ferrie Inn and also ate at The Saracens Head Inn, crossing via the hand-pulled ferry - free of charge if having a meal at the inn. Chrystel was an excellent host, who provided a splendid welcome and excellent information. We would recommend Riversdale Lodge to anyone considering a stay in the area with a group of family or friends and we would love to return.

Summary: Ideal for a mixed family group. Plenty of entertainment for the younger members.

Summary: We've just stayed at Riversdale Lodge over Christmas as a family of 11 from aged 3 months to 90 and the house was perfect for all of us! The house itself is very spacious and has a lovely communal living area and dining room. It's in a great location to visit local towns by car and the Ye old Ferrie in is a wonderful local pub a 20 minute or so walk away. The kitchen is very well equipped and had everything we needed to cook for a large party. Chrystel is a fantastic host and very responsive whenever we needed anything. Would love to come to back in the summer and experience the house and gardens in the summer!

Summary: The house is superbly located, ideal size for our group of 11 retired siblings with partners and the view is fabulous . We were only able to use the pool on one day due to the weather but it was a good temperature and very enjoyable. Pre visit we were given lots of useful information about the local by our helpful hostess Chrystel which enabled us to plan some walks and trips. There are some lovely local walks and pubs meaning you don't necessarily have to drive, very useful if you all want to enjoy a beer or a glass of wine. Whilst the property is lovely it is probably due for some redecoration and a bit of an upgrade but that being said it didn't detract at all from our holiday and we had a wonderful break.

Summary: The house is big. Plenty of room around tables for eating, lounge area nice big sofa’s. Pool at an amazing 29 degrees (couldn’t keep the children out and some of the adults). Pub Ye Old Ferrie Inn (recommend by owner) brilliant food really nice and an easy walk. View from house over river wye awesome. Plenty of fun on pool table and table football. No complaints about the beds. Plenty of everything there to make your stay comfortable. Close to all activities you may want to do. All my family were impressed with the house. Chrystel was there waiting to meet us and walked around house explaining anything we needed to know. Chrystel advised on the end of the phone if needed (we didn’t need to contact) Again lovely house and would definitely return.

Summary: Property in need of some TLC. Ground floor bedroom damp. Pool made up for the faults.
Lesley H. Aug 1, 2023 02:18:24 AM
Summary: We had a week at Riversdale Lodge, highlights were the swimming pool, zip wire & trampoline, we are a family of 12, ages 12 - 65, we all enjoyed it, lots of laughter. We were in the swimming pool everyday and the pool table was also used everyday. Plenty of room in the property for everyone, the ensuites were invaluable. We cooked all meals at the property, from a bbq to a roast dinner, well equipped kitchen & plenty of room in the dining room. We did some lovely walks along the river, went on the hand pulled ferry, which was good fun. Canoeing nearby. Plenty of room outside to sit. Chrystel was great, she was prompt with all communication and very thorough & informative, I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here

Summary: Symonds Yat is stunning! Beautiful walks from the doorstep, great pubs, lots to do for all the family. The house itself is a bit tired and lacking in a few basics like clothes drying stands, hand soap in all the bathrooms, and toiletry storage space in showers. The path to the river was also completely overgrown and unusable when we were there.
David M. May 30, 2023 05:12:05 PM
Summary: We were a party of 12 adults , with an elderly parent, children and grand children. The house is superbly located with a gate onto the riverbank, a wonderful warm swimming pool, zipline, trampoline and small lawns for playing and chilling. The facilities inside the house are great, too: everything necessary for cooking and dining either indoors or out, and plenty of places to sit and chat or play together. The location is wonderful too .. 10 minutes walk from all the major canoe hire companies, a great pub and close to many local attractions, including nearby Monmouth. Really I can't imagine any better location for a perfect Symonds Yat getaway.

Summary: Set in a lovely spot, great for exploring symond Yat and walks by the river. Loved the ol Ferry Inn, tasty food and walking distance from the house. Good to catch the boat over to the other side as well to the other good pub. Recommend the river trip and canoeing looked fun (book early!). Host was very helpful with all the arrival & leaving instructions and returning left items (thank you!) The house was nice, lots of parking and good garden space. Pool wasn’t open when we stayed. Great lounge space with pool table & table football which kept the kids happy. Nearly every bedroom had a very small en-suite which was perfect for large parties like us. The house could do with a bit of modernising, esp the beds but other than that, it served us well!
