Holly Tree House
Your Family. One Table. The River Wye Below.
A three-storey Victorian house at the end of a private lane in Symonds Yat. Open fires, a hot tub, river views, and nothing but the sound of the water.
A Victorian House at the Edge of the Woods
Full of character, on the edge of the woods at the end of a private lane, this beautiful three-storey Victorian house nestles in the heart of the Wye Valley with stunning views over the wonderful River Wye and up to famous Yat Rock. The large dining room comfortably seats everyone round one table.
It combines genuine peace and quiet (apart from the sound of the river) and absolutely no traffic, with loads to do nearby. It's comfortable, totally safe for children and pets, has open fires, stunning views and a hot tub. It's little wonder our guests return time and again.

Holly Tree House
What Our Guests Say
“A lovely setting for a big family get together. Holly Tree House satisfied all our needs and more. Thank you.”
“Excellent house with lovely decor and space for large group. Some leaks which were a bit annoying and the lights by the hot tub were on all night which shone into one of the bedrooms. But otherwise perfect!”
“There are two local pubs - one on this side of the river and one on the other side. Both within walking distance. We went to the one on the other side of the river over the hanging bridge and found it very friendly, excellent service with great chips. Symonds Yat - wonderful to walk to and the views are incredible of the river. We loved our time at Holly Tree House and will definitely plan to return if we have the right number of people. It was warm, the rooms and the facilities were all excellent and the location was perfect. Oli who greeted me and ran through everything I needed to know was really helpful and could be contacted if I had any further questions. We were all really happy with our stay.”
“We enjoyed a drink at the Ferries Inn, but didn't eat there. It can get pretty busy. The house was a good size with plenty of showers and hot water for everyone. We loved the location and the ability to walk, cycle and run a variety of routes from the door. The hot tub was a little too cold to use, which was a bit disappointing.”
“We were only staying for a long weekend but we did have a long walk down by the river, crossed the footbridge and continued walking”
“We really enjoyed our stay — the welcoming drinks in the fridge and golf on the TV were lovely touches. The barbecue was fantastic, and the kitchen was spacious, well-stocked, and beautifully decorated. Everything was clean and well presented, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time. The only small suggestion would be to mention that access to the hot tub is through the spare bedroom, either on the floor plan or in the guest information, as it took us a while to find it. Otherwise, everything was great. Avellinos was a great restaurant in Ross-on-Wye — excellent staff, very funny and welcoming. We pre-ordered our food, and it came out perfectly on time. Everything was well cooked, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. Highly recommended! If you're looking to play golf, Forest Hill Golf Club is a great choice — only about 15 minutes away from the property. It's an excellent course with some really interesting holes on the back nine. Everyone in the clubhouse is very friendly an”
