With its windows gazing over the shimmering River Wye and its back resting against the majestic Royal Forest of Dean, River Wye Lodge offers an unbeatable setting for group getaways. Once a country inn, this spacious retreat now welcomes up to 26 guests across 12 bedrooms—10 of which boast spectacular river views. The ground floor is wheelchair-friendly, featuring a twin room with an accessible en-suite wet room. Inside, the large kitchen and original bar with servery set the stage for memorable meals, while the games room, complete with pool, table tennis, table football, and even a cross-trainer, keeps everyone entertained. Outdoors, children can enjoy the wood-chipped playground as adults unwind on the terrace, sink into the covered hot tub, or launch canoes from the adjacent slipway. This pet-friendly haven sits within easy reach of some of the Wye Valley’s and Forest of Dean’s best experiences—paddle the river, hike wooded trails to Symonds Yat Rock, explore Puzzlewood’s enchanting pathways, or step back in time at Clearwell Caves.
