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 hotel 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 1920s.The Royal Lodge has 20 en-suite bedrooms which are arranged to take advantage of our unique position on the edge of the River Wye and make the most of the views so that every room faces the tranquil river. We have rooms with 4 poster beds, single rooms and family rooms which allows the us to offer unrivalled flexibility. We will be pleased to discuss any special accommodation requirements you have.
