The Area

In the heart of Whitchurch

A village between the River Wye and the Forest of Dean, with Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth and Symonds Yat minutes away.

Where you are

One of the UK's best-kept secrets

The full range of our holiday cottages for hire covers the same area as the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley Tourism Association. With so much to see and do in this area it makes a great spot for holidays, whether you choose to go out and about, or just stay in the cottage and make use of the wonderful facilities whilst basking in stunning scenery.

The Wye Valley is one of the UK's best-kept holiday secrets, quietly tucked along the border of England and Wales, just as breathtaking as the Lake District or Cotswolds but far less crowded.

Whitchurch itself keeps things easy: a village shop, a cafe and a pub within a short stroll, and the River Wye ten minutes away on foot.

Symonds Yat and its river gorge are a few minutes up the road, with canoe hire, paddleboarding and bike trails threading the valley, and the Forest of Dean's woods beyond.

Walkers have riverside and forest paths from the village, and for wet days there are steam railways, farm parks and heritage sites within easy reach.

The vineyard at Wythall Estate in Herefordshire, continues to flourish by being in one of the finest agricultural growing areas in England.

Our single vineyard approach means 100% of the grapes come from the Wythall vineyards. We practice a low-intervention approach, which, when combined with the rich Herefordshire soil, means that we consistently grow grapes of the finest quality to ensure the production of superb, complex English wines that demonstrate the character and qualities of the local terroir.

Float in the Forest - Lydney, Gloucestershire

Float in the Forest - Lydney, Gloucestershire

An activities & days out.

What is floatation? Imagine relaxing in a giant bathtub that you can sleep in with peace of mind. Firstly, the water is only approximately 25cm deep. Secondly, it is saturated with Epsom salt, and heated to skin temperature. This is where the magic begins. Your body floats like a cork, a bit like in the Dead Sea. You are so buoyant that you can totally relax all your muscles, and let go of tensions. You will float naturally and effortlessly, and the support of the water around your body gives a sense of weightlessness. All the work the mind and body usually has to do just to resist gravity becomes unnecessary, and you are able to let go and relax into a blissful state.

Country Made Catering, Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire

A pub.

Looking for a caterer to make your event or retreat extra special? Look no further! My name is Caroline and I run Country Made. I provide coverage in Herefordshire, Monmouthshire, parts of Gloucestershire, and beyond by request. In fact, I've cooked for events and retreats as far away as Devon, Suffolk, and Sussex. So I have always been interested in cooking and was lucky enough to do a Cordon Bleu cookery course at the London school when I was 17. I was always a good cook and friends would ask me to cook for their celebrations. This developed into working as a school cook at my son's school for 5 years. Working there gave me the confidence to cook delicious nutritious food for larger numbers. When my youngest son left I had built up a good base of catering functions for parents of the school and I decided to start Country Made Catering. Over the 7 years I have been running my business I have had the privilege of being part of many wonderful happy events as well as sadder occasions, which have been equally fulfilling. I have a great team I can call on when I need help and together we have catered and served at events from a dinner party for 10 to weddings for over a 100. , if you're looking for delicious food and exceptional service, I'm your caterer!
