Where the Whole Family Fits

Finding a venue that seats 30 for dinner, gives everyone their own ensuite bedroom, and puts a private bar and games room at your disposal is almost impossible. Finding one on the banks of the River Wye in one of England's most beautiful valleys is something else entirely.

Wye Rapids House was built for gatherings. Past guests have hired cocktail mixologists for the bar, brought in professional chefs to cook four-course meals in the commercial kitchen, arranged alpaca walking trips and river canoeing, and celebrated everything from 60th birthdays to multi-generational reunions.

The Spaces

Real Celebrations, Real Memories

01

Family Reunions

"We booked Wye Rapids House for a family get together. The accommodation was excellent. Very clean and well set out for family groups with lots of room options to suit all ages. We loved the bar area and the children loved the games room. We had a fantastic weekend and couldn't fault anything." - Christine G

Milestone Birthdays

"What a fabulous house. Everything you needed and more. Age range was 82 down to a very messy 2 yr old. It had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. Very well presented and spotlessly clean. The games room was a great hit and well equipped kitchen. Panoramic views of the river Wye and massive garden area to enjoy a BBQ." - Patricia M

Multi-Generation Getaways

"Perfect house for family reunion of all ages - in a beautiful setting next to the River Wye. Great to have the pub nearby and lots of lovely walks. The house is well set up with plenty of space and bathrooms for all plus the bonus - a games room which was very popular." - Jo B

We stayed close to the property as it was such a relaxing area. We were lucky to have great weather so we were able to make the most of the lawn and patio area. A few of our party also visited the Royal Lodge bar for food and drinks which was a lovely experience. Lots of lovely walks on the doorstep.

11 ladies of our party went on an afternoon trip to Brockmoorhead Alpaca walking, Crafting and a afternoon tea which they all enjoyed doing. We enjoyed the whole experience of staying in a large property with family and freinds for a 60th & 65th birthday celebration, everything was catered for in the property for cooking and drinking, the bar was a great touch because we hired a cocktail mixologist so he had the perfect place to do his stuff. Nothing wrong with the kitchen at all, a hired Chef came in and cooked a perfect 4 course meal for us all. The views were stunning the outside area was perfect with seating areas. 10 out of 10

Walk up to Symonds Yat Rock from the back of the property is quit a challenge, but well worth it. Further nature trails available from the rock. Goodrich Castle well worth a visit. Short drive away We enjoyed the central social space and plenty of seating for meals. Well equipped kitchen.

We had an excellent meal at the nearby Saracens Head. We were a big party of 19 and the service and food was excellent. We booked Wye Rapids House for a family get together. The accommodation was excellent. Very clean and well set out for family groups with lots of room options to suit all ages and all of which had stunning views of the river and surrounding countryside. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of cooking equipment and crockery etc. The dining room had loads of room. We loved the bar area and the children (and adults!) loved the games room. We had a fantastic weekend and couldn't fault anything.
