About this cottage rental

Sitting just above the banks of the River Wye, The Weir House is made for walkers, cyclists, mountain bikers, watersports enthusiasts and groups of families and friends looking to spend quality time together. Surrounded by beautiful views, with the Netflix TV series Sex Education chalet in the woods behind, you will have a fantastic stay here no matter where your interests lie.

Set over three floors this incredibly well-equipped house has been finished to a high standard. The contemporary kitchen/dining area is warmed by a wood burner and is the heart of the home. Enjoy celebratory meals together here and step out onto the terrace for a toast on the river's edge. At the end of busy days, put your feet up in the living room and chill out catching up on your favourite series on the large Smart TV. Perfect for multiple families sharing with two en-suite shower rooms and a further two bathrooms. The addition of a small sitting area on the second floor makes this a wonderfully communal house.

Making the most of the location, the private terrace enjoys uninterrupted views of the River Wye, you can dine al fresco while watching canoes float by on their way to tackle the rapids further downstream. You can enjoy this area no matter the weather and store muddy boots here after a long walk. Across the quiet lane is off road parking for four cars, a fantastic amenity that is hard to come by in this village.

Ground Floor

Kitchen/Dining Room:
The open plan kitchen/dining area is where you will spend the majority of your time together. This bright and welcoming room looks through the French doors across the terrace to the wooded slopes opposite. A modern woodburning stove adds comfort and warmth while you dine at the table seating eight. A breakfast bar separates the kitchen area and provides space to serve from. Beyond, the well-equipped kitchen has a range cooker, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine, dishwasher and ample fridge/freezers. There is plenty of storage space including a handy pantry.

Living Room:
This cosy room has been beautifully finished with light wood and neutral colours, offset by the bright blue sofas. With space for six to sit comfortably, retire here after dinner once the children have gone to bed for evening drinks or a movie night on the large Smart TV. Doors open to the terrace so you can extend the space and watch the sun setting over the hills.

A superb property. Excellently furbished with everything needed. Good car parking across the road Extensive outside seating area with lovely views over the Wye. Located next door to the pup which has a very good menu and selection of ales. Numerous walks from the house

Lovely, big house. Well equipped and comfy beds. Plenty of space for 4 friends, and would be plenty big enough for 8. Really handy to have the parking directly opposite. Great base for outdoor activities including walking and paddle boarding. Ate at the pub next door on the first night which was great.

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!

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

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.

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.

Brilliant location, great parking and a well fitted out property. Don't think we have ever seen such a good kitchen.
