The Weir House - Symonds Yat

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.

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.

You can enjoy this area no matter the weather and store muddy boots here after a long walk.
