Con­vert­ed river­side coach­ing inn over­look­ing the Wye in the For­est of Dean — sleeps 12 – 26

Low­er Lyd­brook, Gloucestershire 

By the Riv­er Wye in the For­est of Dean vil­lage of Lyd­brook, Riv­er Wye Lodge is a dream venue com­fort, space, riv­er views, walk to pubs, activ­i­ties, games room, hot tub, playground.

With its face turned to the Riv­er Wye, birth­place of tourism in the UK, and it’s back to the dra­mat­ic Roy­al For­est of Dean, Riv­er Wye Lodge could not be bet­ter placed for a fan­tas­tic self cater­ing hol­i­day in the For­est of Dean or Wye Valley

We’ve con­vert­ed this coun­try inn to pro­vide the space, loca­tion and facil­i­ties which will ensure you have a tru­ly mem­o­rable time.

Indoors there’s more than enough space to sleep 24 , with a cou­ple of cots for the lit­tle ones, and you all get your own bath­room of course: no shar­ing at the Riv­er Wye Lodge. 10 of the bed­rooms have glo­ri­ous views of the Riv­er Wye. The ground floor hous­es a ful­ly acces­si­ble ensuite dis­abled twin room (equal­ly help­ful for the frail, or sim­ply those who don’t like stairs). The large atmos­pher­ic lounge has a wood­burn­er, satel­lite tv, dvd play­er and music sys­tem, while the Din­ing Room com­fort­ably accom­mo­dates 26 round the table, and even has its own lit­tle snug, per­fect for a bit of qui­et read­ing and relaxation.

On site, there’s plen­ty to keep every­body amused : a games room with table ten­nis, pool, table foot­ball and more; a hot tub to unwind after a day’s walk­ing, canoe­ing or cycling in the For­est of Dean, an out­door bad­minton court and well equipped play­ground; a bar­be­cue area and plen­ty of out­door seat­ing where you can chill and watch the Riv­er Wye slow­ly wind its way to Symonds Yat.

On the edge of the vil­lage of Lyd­brook the near­by facil­i­ties are superb: 5 min­utes walk will take you to a won­der­ful coun­try pub, an organ­ic restau­rant, an Indi­an restau­rant, the canoe launch oppo­site the Lodge, and the Wye Val­ley Way for fan­tas­tic walking.

5 min­utes dri­ve will take you into the heart of the For­est of Dean with its stag­ger­ing array of activ­i­ties for peo­ple of every age and inter­est. If that’s not enough, you’re only 10 min­utes dri­ve from Symonds Yat, Ross on Wye, Cole­ford and Mon­mouth with numer­ous award win­ning options for din­ing out.

If the For­est of Dean and Wye Val­ley is your self cater­ing group hol­i­day of choice — look no fur­ther, Riv­er Wye Lodge has every­thing you need, relax­ation incar­nate. Come and enjoy yourselves.

This is a no smok­ing property.
