About The Royal Lodge
Symonds Yat East sits along the River Wye, with wooded hills rising on either side, and The Royal Lodge occupies a spot right in the middle of this stretch of the Wye Valley. It's the kind of setting that lends itself to slow mornings and long walks, with the river itself a constant presence just outside.
The hotel has 26 rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, and there's free WiFi throughout for anyone who can't quite switch off. A restaurant and bar operate on site, with breakfast included, and there's a garden for warmer days plus 24-hour reception for whatever hours guests keep. The Royal Lodge also hosts weddings and has meeting rooms, so it caters to more than just overnight stays. Pets are welcome, which is worth knowing if you're travelling with a dog.
Beyond the grounds, the surrounding area offers fishing and watersports on the Wye, along with nearby pubs and restaurants for evenings out. It's a practical base for exploring Herefordshire's countryside, with the river and valley doing most of the work.
