We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house in an idyllic location. The setting was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surrounding countryside, with the highlight being canoeing down the River Wye.The property itself was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Communication was also excellent throughout. A truly lovely place to stay, and we would happily return!

A beautiful spot with plenty of room for us. The two large reception rooms were ideal. And the large kitchen came in handy with a group of our size. The pool was clean and warm. And we made good use of that. We had great communication with the host who couldn't do enough for us. There is so much around the area to see and do. That this location is really good. My nephew enjoyed fishing on the river.

This is a lovely property liked by all our multigenerational family group. We were spoilt with good weather so could live outside and enjoy the space, views and privacy it afforded. The pool was a great attraction as was the large TV for Englands World Cup match! It is a good location to explore the Wye Valley, we didn’t use cars at all as there was so much to access on foot. We would recommend the boat cruise which had a very informative commentary.Chrystel was very responsive to queries.

The property was so very beautiful. We got to use the pool for 2days and the garden and house game activities are brilliant to keep the children and adults amused. Plenty of utensils and crockery are available and we all (10 ) got to share meals together around the large dining table. Lovely local pub which is walkable from the house and we found the butterfly farm amazing. Nobody wanted to leave and we all wished that it could be our own home.

Wonderful property in the most beautiful location.

This property was more than big enough for all 14 of us. Extremely well equipped. Gorgeous garden with plenty of room for the children (and grown ups!) to play. The numerous en suites made getting ready to go out very easy. The view to the river was amazing, we could have sat there watching it all day. We are planning to go back in the future.

Perfect for a family reunion weekend

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.

Love love love Symonds Yat

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.

Christmas Stay

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!

Amazing location, lovely property

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.

Served us well for weekend break of 3 families

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!

A great family birthday celebration

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

Lovely house

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.

An excellent choice for a memorable stay

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.

Fabulous house by the River Wye. Enough room for our family and friends to spend some rare but quality time together. The house is just as described and we were very lucky with the weather so had some fun in the pool.Our furry friends were welcome and they enjoyed the river walk. Chrystal is a great host and there was good communication throughout. I would definitely recommend Riversdale Lodge as a great place to stay.

Family Holiday

We got a little lost in Symonds Yatt but found the property. Younger members of the party brought boats and wet-suits to mess about on the river. The wide age range of our party, 2 - 93, meant we had problems with some people being to hot and others too cold, Crystel did her best to adjust the heating to suit everyone. Being by the river had the disadvantage of high humidity in the house despite the number of dehumidifiers. Plenty of different things to do within easy driving distance, most popular was the Butterfly Zoo.
