The Royal Lodge at Symonds Yat East has an idyllic setting in the
heart of the Wye Valley in an area of outstanding natural beauty
where the River Wye cuts a swathe through a wooded gorge on the edge
of the spectacular Royal Forest of Dean.
 The Lodge is
nestled just below Symonds Yat Rock and stands exclusively in
grounds of almost 5 acres overlooking the river. It has terraced
gardens of magnolia trees and a well established wisteria.
The
Royal was originally built in 1876 as a Royal hunting lodge and was
converted to a hotel in the 1920's and is now operating proudly as 4
Star Guest Accommodation and is managed by Graham Howells who has
overseen the transformation and ensures that the level of service
reflects the new development and idyllic location
The Royal Lodge is a great place to unwind with long relaxing walks
in outstanding scenery. The hotel is also well situated to explore
the Wye Valley, Brecon Beacons, Black Mountains and the South Wales
coast.
 For the
more adventurous guest there is a vast range of adventure
activities. Within walking distance of the hotel there is canoeing,
kayaking, climbing and abseiling. Nearby there is golf, horse riding
and caving and even helicopter tours. We will be happy to make any necessary arrangements for
guests - Visit the
Wyedean
website for details of the vast range of activities available
The forest has
miles of designated cycle routes through the woodland including
special family routes (cycle-hire is available locally). A sculpture
trail can be found nearby as can a high ropes course where you can
get a bird's-eye view of the woodland scenery.
