Whether you’re gathering for a special occasion, enjoying a family holiday or simply escaping to the countryside, Sunnyside provides a wonderful combination of comfort, space and spectacular surroundings.

What Makes Sunnyside Special

The setting is truly exceptional.

Occupying an enviable elevated position on a beautiful south-facing hillside, Sunnyside enjoys far-reaching views across the Wye Valley towards Symonds Yat. Expansive windows and glazed doors frame the changing landscape, bringing natural light and the beauty of the surrounding countryside into the house.

From leisurely breakfasts overlooking the hills to afternoons relaxing in the garden, the spectacular scenery provides a beautiful backdrop to every stay.

As evening approaches, enjoy a glass of wine on the terrace while watching the last of the sunlight settle across the valley.

With woodland rising behind the house, the Wye Valley Walk passing directly by the front door and the River Wye just a short stroll away, Sunnyside is perfectly positioned for enjoying the natural beauty of this remarkable area.

Despite its wonderfully secluded countryside setting, the charming market town of Ross-on-Wye and the many attractions of the Forest of Dean are within easy reach.

Beautiful Interiors & Space to Relax

Extensively renovated and thoughtfully furnished in an understated contemporary style, Sunnyside combines generous living spaces with a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.

The beautifully appointed kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home, with seating for ten guests and wonderful countryside views. It’s the perfect place to gather for leisurely breakfasts, prepare meals together or enjoy long evenings around the dining table with family and friends.

Spacious and inviting living areas provide plenty of room for everyone to relax, while the extensive glazing creates a wonderful connection between the house, gardens and surrounding countryside.

Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, reading a book overlooking the valley or spending an evening together, Sunnyside has been designed to make guests feel immediately at home.

The combination of generous accommodation, beautiful furnishings and spectacular natural surroundings makes it an ideal retreat for both relaxation and celebration.

A Special Ground-Floor Garden Suite

One of Sunnyside’s most appealing features is its beautifully appointed ground-floor garden suite, offering comfort, privacy and a little extra independence.

The suite features a comfortable king-size bed, its own shower room and a small seating area with a table and two chairs, creating a lovely personal space within the house.

A door opens directly onto its own charming garden terrace, furnished with a bench and small table — perfect for enjoying a peaceful morning coffee, reading in the fresh air or simply taking in the beautiful surroundings.

The suite has its own external access as well as an internal door connecting directly to the main living accommodation, allowing guests to come and go conveniently while remaining fully connected to the rest of the house. The external entrance can also be used by other guests.

This arrangement makes the suite particularly attractive for grandparents travelling with children and grandchildren, guests who prefer ground-floor accommodation, or couples who appreciate a little additional independence.

Four further bedrooms are situated on the first floor, including a beautiful super-king bedroom with a wooden sleigh bed and its own en-suite shower room.

With five bedrooms and three bathrooms in total, Sunnyside offers comfortable and flexible accommodation for groups of up to ten guests.

Beautiful Gardens & Outdoor Living

Sunnyside’s gardens are a wonderful extension of the house, with generous lawns, outdoor terraces and magnificent views across the surrounding Wye Valley countryside.

The south-facing position provides a beautiful setting for enjoying sunny mornings, relaxed afternoons and long summer evenings.

There’s ample space to gather outdoors, enjoy the fresh country air or simply sit back and admire the views.

With woodland behind the property and countryside stretching out before it, the gardens offer a lovely sense of connection with nature.

Whether enjoying breakfast outside, relaxing with a book or sharing a drink as the evening light changes across the hills, Sunnyside provides a memorable setting for outdoor living.

Explore the Wye Valley & Forest of Dean

Sunnyside’s location makes it an exceptional base for discovering one of Britain’s most beautiful countryside destinations.

The Wye Valley Walk passes directly in front of the property, offering wonderful opportunities to explore the surrounding landscape without even needing to use the car.

The River Wye is just a short walk away, where guests can enjoy scenic riverside walks, canoeing and the peaceful beauty of the valley.

The nearby Forest of Dean offers miles of woodland trails, excellent cycling routes and outdoor adventures for all ages, while the spectacular scenery around Symonds Yat is among the area’s most celebrated attractions.

There are also three excellent country pubs within walking distance, providing wonderful opportunities to enjoy local food and hospitality after a day exploring.

A charming local café offers another delightful option for breakfast, coffee or lunch.

The historic market town of Ross-on-Wye is close by, with its independent shops, cafés, restaurants and picturesque streets.

Further afield, guests can discover Monmouth, Hereford, Ledbury, Hay-on-Wye, Tintern and Chepstow, each offering its own character, history and attractions.

From peaceful countryside walks and picturesque villages to canoeing, cycling, historic landmarks and excellent country dining, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

One of the joys of staying at Sunnyside is that everyone can enjoy their holiday at their own pace. Some may choose to explore the beautiful walking trails, cycle through the Forest of Dean or take to the River Wye for a day of canoeing, while others might prefer a leisurely lunch at a country pub, a relaxing afternoon in the garden or simply enjoying the spectacular views. Whatever your idea of a perfect countryside escape, Sunnyside offers a wonderful place to come together at the end of the day.

Four-Legged Family Members Welcome

We know that dogs are part of the family too, and a countryside holiday wouldn’t be quite the same without them.

With its spectacular setting, beautiful interiors, spacious gardens and thoughtful accommodation — including the particularly appealing ground-floor garden suite — it offers the comfort of a beautiful home in one of the Wye Valley’s most desirable locations.

We look forward to welcoming you to Sunnyside and sharing this very special part of the countryside with you.
