Description

A large detached Georgian property ideally located in the picturesque village of Lydbrook on the banks of the River Wye in the Forest of Dean.

Set in a stunning location with fantastic views from the upper floors, with lovely character features throughout making this great for a family get-together or celebration with friends.

Enter the property up the stone steps into a lovely central hall with Minton floor tiles.

Immediately off the hall are two gorgeous sitting rooms both boasting sumptuous sofas and warming woodburning stoves ideal for those chilly evenings.

To the rear of the property is a large stunning dining kitchen, providing everything the chef of the party could wish for and making a perfect place to enjoy a celebratory meal or lazy Sunday lunch.

There are eight bedrooms to choose from, all beautifully presented, with four having zip/link facility, giving plenty of flexibility.

Three stunning bathrooms ensure guests can enjoy a soak in the bath without others having to queue.

The property has the added bonus of a lower ground floor storage area - perfect for mountain bikes, kayaks and fishing gear - this room can be accessed from both inside and outside the house.

Outside the large garden makes a great place to enjoy family games, let the kids let off steam or just relax and enjoy a BBQ or alfresco dining on a summers evening.

There are many lovely walks and cycle routes from the doorstep of the cottage or take a stroll into the village and enjoy a meal at one of the many pubs.

Take a short drive to Monmouth or Ross-on-Wye offering numerous amenities including restaurants, tea rooms and individual shops not to mention the many lovely walks.

The area has something to suit all tastes making Viaduct House a great base for a memorable holiday at any time of year.

A lovely spacious house for ten of us for the weekend.

The kitchen/dining room worked very well with the large table and American style fridge. We didn’t all sit in the lounge at the same time and that would have been a bit cramped if we had wanted to. There are a few steps up to the front door and bedrooms spread over 3 floors with no toilet on the ground floor which was fine for us but could be difficult for less able people. Parking was not as easy as anticipated with only a few spaces on the roadside and the other residents had reserved or taken the one allocated space. The bedrooms were all of a good size and although there were a few squeaky floorboards and doors (understandable in an old house) it was very quiet and we couldn’t hear each other. Although the bathrooms have been modernised, the shower controls were very hard to adjust and the hot water was scalding hot. The location is very good for visiting nearby attractions but not really much within walking distance.

Overall we weren't impressed.

The owner comms were good but the provisions underwhelming - not enough loo rolls (there should have been two extra in each bathroom - spares locked away in the utility room but we had to email the owner to ask where to find them) and no welcome pack provided. The bathrooms are missing some TLC with cracked and moldy seals and taps difficult to use. The beds were comfy and fresh. The welcome book useful. We filled the house (the majority female) so access to bathrooms was an issue at times. We had great weather so used outdoors a lot. We were concerned for our grandkids about the drops from both the upper lawn and patio - one had a very close call. We had to repair the outside, metal chairs as a few arms were hanging loose (we found spares in the cellar). If the weather had kept us indoors we would have struggled because (in our opinion) the leisure space is not adequate for the number of bedrooms. However, the living room furniture was comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. We had planned to use the pizza oven but it was too small to feed us all. We did use the BBQ happily. The location is perfect but parking tricky. We had six cars and one parking space. The are places on the main road and in front of a public toilet - we managed. Takeaway beers from the pub across the road added a pleasant bonus as did picking out of season blackberries! We had a great time but wouldn't return. Not quite big enough for our family - but, I think, we realised it was a compromise when we booked.

This is a gem of a holiday house for a large family.

There was plenty of space for 16 of us and the house is very well appointed. It stayed relatively cool in the very hot weather. We would definitely would go again
