Search hotels in Symonds Yat

Symonds Yat is so peaceful at this time of year (November) with stunning scenery, quiet lanes and lots of wildlife. Both pubs (The Ferry Inn and The Saracens Head) provided excellent food and great, local ales as well as the standard lagers. Just a beautiful place to visit although the lanes are a tad steep to walk back (more beer required)

Beautiful landscapes, river and lovely walks. A few single track roads though most can be avoided taking a longer route. The Old Court Hotel food was good, home made and reasonable. Nice staff and cosy. Symonds Yat Rock was amazing, great views. Recommend Woods of Whitchurch for lovely lunch and amazing cakes.

The weather was heavy rain for some of the time, but driving through the lanes with the trees dripping, the mist rising, and everything so green was magical. The area is loved by walkers, which we don't do so much off now, but the area is so green, peaceful and invigorating! It must be the ozone in the air. We were only here for a 1 night stay and had visited Ross, Yat Rock and driven through part of the Forest of Dean. It is an amazingly thickly wooded area, that seems to go on forever. I've walked through well marked paths in the past with friends who lived at Rock, and my Grandparents who lived at St. Briavels in the forest. Goodrich Castle is a great place to visit as well as little village's and Inns you will come across. Yat Rock is known for its Peregrine falcons, which if you can catch sight of one they are magnificent. Nearby, Coleford, Lydney and other towns offer some good shops and pubs. Enjoy!

the great outdoors was the best place to be. we ate at the Ferrie Inn (dinner on the Sunday night and breakfast on Monday morning) we would avoid the summer holidays as we think it would be very busy and we wouldn't get the attention and familiarity we got from all the staff in June

Loved it! Such a gorgeous area! So relaxing, being by the river, The canoeing was amazing! We saw Kingfishers, Heron's and Swans, to name just a few. The walk up to Symonds Yat Rock is a bit of a challenge, but so worth it when you get up there, what a view! You are able to drive to a nearby car park if the climb is not for you. The walk along the river is beautifully wild too! You could be in another country. You simply cannot go wrong with a visit here.

Beautiful location, plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy and nature trails to explore. A great vibe, outstanding beauty. Parking is difficult, this is a busy spot. Roads are extremely narrow. Plenty of great places to eat. A must see on your holiday.
