We accept weekly bookings as well as bookings for midweek (Monday to Friday) and weekends (Friday to Monday).

We allow one or two dogs - that have to stay on the ground floor (Bed 6 is downstairs). Immediately outside the house there is a patio area with 4 wooden benches, two chairs and large table. There is parking for up to 8 cars in the large car park which is at the end of the drive near the house. The pool is heated and open from 1st April to the end of October . It is 3ft 6" sloping to 5" maximum. It is a private pool for the house - not shared with any other house. Guests will need to bring pool/beach towels for use by the pool. The pool uses an eco-friendly heat transfer system to heat the pool - it relies on the heat of the air to transfer to the water (therefore if there are periods of cooler weather the pool will not necessarily be that warm). From the car park there are two shallow steps down to the house level, and then one step up into the house. Bedroom 6 is on the ground floor so one or two persons with limited mobility could use Riversdale Lodge. We are dog friendly and allow a maximum of two dogs per stay. There is a charge of £35 per dog and we do not allow the dogs upstairs in the house or on the furniture! Bed 6 is downstairs - and it has a wooden floor so okay to sleep with you dog/s In the same room. We do ask that dog owners clean the lawns of any poop before they go.

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! ##### Taylor B. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom F. 24 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Tom F. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bridget V. 18 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Bridget V. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo T. 3 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Jo T.

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. ##### David M.

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. ##### Carolyn N. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jo P. 24 Apr 2023 Liked: Communication, location #### 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! ##### Jo P.

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 ##### Lesley H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Tina B. 28 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Tina B.

We were welcomed upon arrival by the owner who provided information and answered any questions we had. The kitchen was very well equipped for the 12 of us self catering. The bedrooms were all very comfy and the added bonus of having en-suites made it much easier to get out in the mornings. We had many lovely walks along the river and Monmouth is only 12 minutes drive for any shopping required. There was ample parking for the 5 cars. ##### Hayley C.

It was just what we wanted and more! Warm, cosy with plenty of space for everyone. Grounds and location was stunning. Wonderful inviting lounge area and spacious kitchen and dinning area. Bedrooms were comfortable with en-suite facilities ensured privacy. Great communication from owner Chrystel who gave us lots of information about the surrounding area and how to locate the property. There was even a little welcome gift for us.Because our visit was in December we had the bonus of the house being decorated for Christmas. Will definitely return. Thank you Chrystel ##### Amanda P.
