Symonds Yat Rock Lodge

Forest of Dean

It’s the first tile we have been to Symonds Yat and the Forest of Dean and this was the perfect location to stay and see the area. The apartment is cleverly designed with a mezzanine floor for the bedroom. Downstairs has everything you need and overlooks stunning rolling hills with sheep grazing literally feet away. 
There are guides thoughtfully left for local outings including pub walks through the forest. The owners have clearly spent time researching everything you could possibly want so have done lots of the leg work for their guests! 

We stayed for three nights but you could easily stay for a week and have plenty to do and see. 
I would definitely recommend and we are already planning our return!

Excellent!

The Royal Lodge Hotel at Symonds Yat near Monmouth is. Superb. The staff were brilliant and very hospitable. The manager on duty was so accommodating. The food was excellent. A great time was had.although short staffed those on duty went about their tasks with humour and friendliness. We will certainly stay again.

A Jewel

A lovely place to stay. Cosy and comfortable. It was just what we was looking for. Easy to find and once car was parked there was no need to drive any where. Good walks and cycle paths to follow. 
We stayed in apartment 1 which had everything we needed. A very quiet and chilled out place for a weekend of biking and walking. Also not far to walk to get food at symonds yat.

A very lovely place for a weekend away

Just had three nights at Rock Lodge. It's the perfect place for exploring the area.
The accommodation was immaculately clean, spacious, modern and absolutely fit for purpose.
Not the 'cosiest' of places we've stayed & the TV signal was intermittent but we didn't go there to sit inside & watch TV tbh!! 
Perfect for our two dogs too.
Would definitely consider a return visit

Perfect location, excellent accommodation

 We booked this particular place as we were able to take our 3 dogs. After reading the description of the apartment and facilities our expectations were very high. On arrival the apartment was immaculate, tea, coffee and sugar were readily available. The Laundry room housed a washer/dryer free of charge. Also fans were provided if required.

We stayed in apartment 6. The weather was very warm, and other than the patio doors there were 2 small windows you were able to open. One in the bathroom, the other upstairs in the mezzamine.The communal area was literally outside our patio doors. Due to this it was uncomfortable to leave them open with other guests and their pets outside. There was no privacy. Also the communal area backs on to a field which is easily accessible should your pup want to jump on the wall. 
The apartment didnt fulfill the expectations it promised.
The views were outstanding as promised, as was the access to the forest.
Lots of interesting walks which we enjoyed and places to explore. 

Didnt fullfill our expectations

Due to the pandemic travel restrictions our honeymoon plans changed from an exotic beach holiday to a staycation.  However, on arriving at Symonds Yat Rock Lodge any disappointment we may have been feeling instantly disappeared.  The property itself was so cosy & homely with lots of great little touches.  The large windows made the most of the spectacular views & it was such a joy to arrive back there every day after our walks.  The location was perfect; being right in the forest its canopy offered shelter from the rainy days & we were still able to have some great walks.  The viewpoint from Symonds Yat Rock is a must!  When the weather did catch us out the lodge offered the perfect haven with all its inviting comforts.  We stayed 3 nights & for 2 of those we walked to the New Inn pub which was only 20 mins away & served amazing, reasonably priced food.  Lodge owner Claire was so helpful & responsive every time we had any questions & we are so grateful to her & Darren for this gem of a place.  We cannot wait to return.  Who needs exotic beaches!

Stunning property & location

We stayed in the twin lodge no 3 for 6 days in August 2020 
What a lovely place. Everything you could need to stay self catering. 
Lovely outlook over the fields. And right across the road from the Forest of Dean. Probably 200 yards from the entrance to Symonds Yat Rock.
Ideal for walking in the Forest.
We could not fault the accommodation. Plenty of car parking.
Near to all places to visit, Monmouth,  Ross on Wye, Coleford and perfect for visiting Puzzlewood and Caves and walking.

Little Gem

Having just returned from a two night stay in apartment 4 we wanted to highly recommend a stay here.
Apartment was spotless, we wanted for nothing and the view was incredible.
We were so impressed by the effort Claire and Darren have gone to to make guests stay comfortable, we found the information book left for us about the area etc etc so helpful and detailed.
The area is stunning, symonds yat rock viewpoint most definitely a must a long with a walk down to the river.
we will most definitely will be returning.

Amazing accommodation in stunning area

We had a fantastic stay in July. The accommodation is very comfortable and had everything we could have wished for. The outdoor space was stunning and we chose to eat there every night as the views were beautiful. The accommodation is in a great location for walks in the woods and access to Symonds Yat. We will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful accommodation in a stunning area

Had a fantastic safe and relaxed stay in the Forest  of  Dean  staying at this peaceful lodge apartment. Weather great and views from our patio over rolling countryside.  Owners made sure everything  sterile and supplied all sanitising products too. Thanks to Clare and Darren the owners.
