Canoeing or kayaking along the River Wye is another popular activity, allowing you to immerse yourself in the forest scenery from the water.
In nearby Clearwell Caves, explore an ancient underground labyrinth that has been mined since Roman times. It’s a fascinating, family-friendly activity that adds a historical dimension to your visit.

Absolutely excellent from start to finish. Great communication from the hosts, a beautiful house with beautiful views. The owners had kindly left us a fabulous welcome package with Prosecco, fresh bread, and honey amongst other things. The house is finished to an excellent standard, is extremely clean, and modern. Spacious throughout with large bedrooms, ample seating areas, a lovely outside area, and plenty of parking. Kitchen was extremely well equipped and bathrooms with jacuzzi baths and wonderful modern showers. Would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to return again.

The house was modern, very comfortable and well equipped. There are 2 large communal areas and a pretty and useable garden. We particularly liked the outdoor covered seating area. There were 2 very nice pubs and the Wye river walk within 15_20 minute drive. The children loved the Xbox. Our family had a great time and would recommend this property for a relaxing stay.
