Our family spent a wonderful few days together in Brookside over Christmas and the house proved a perfect venue for a special festive getaway. The kitchen was really well equipped, which took a lot of the stress out of preparing Christmas dinner - enjoyed by 16 of us sat around the main dining table with room to spare. The bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of space, as were the two main living areas, with log fires helping to keep them warm and cosy. The local area provided some great dog-walking opportunities, with riverside and forest walks within a few minutes of the front door, whilst the games room proved very popular with the younger members of the family in particular. The communication from BHHL and the housekeeper were excellent throughout, and the welcome pack really helped us feel at home. All in all, it was a wonderful Christmas break in a fabulous venue.

The house was fantastic and just what we needed for a lovely family Christmas getaway. It was comfortable throughout, with a huge dining table and a kitchen that was really well equipped, so making meals - including Christmas - dinner for 16 people was no problem at all. Lots of great walks around the local area, around the river at Symonds Yat and nearby woods. We also went to the panto at the Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury, which was good fun.

Perfect place for a family get together Thank you! We had a couple of nights at Brookside with the whole family. From the minute we arrived it just felt like home. The log burner was wonderful, the games room great fun and the massive table meant we could all sit together. A rare find somewhere big enough for our extended family to meet up. We’ll definitely be back… next time when it’s warm enough to get in the pool.

Friday 1st – 3rd May Mums 80th Birthday weekend. We had a smashing weekend in this very comfortable well-equipped house. The younger members of the party loved the games room and swimming pool especially! A great location there is plenty to see and do in the immediate area. We can recommend the Potting Shed for a delicious meal and Ye Old Ferry Inn for a great choice of local beers. 19 of us fitted in extremely well. Thank you

Friday 29th -31st May 2026 Uni weekend reunion! What an awesome weekend! Beautiful house with everything we needed. Great Games room and dining area for all of us to sit together. The boys had a nice morning playing golf while the girls tanned and played in the pool. Thank you so much for a lovely holiday, we will be back.

We had Sunday lunch for 14 of us at the Potting Shed Which was excellent. Canoeing for the whole family on the river 10 mins walk away was great fun. The house was perfect for our family get together with all the facilities you could ask for and plenty of rooms/bathrooms/space to cater for the 14 people from 8 to 87 years old. The swimming pool area was a particularly highlight helped by the heatwave conditions

We walked down to the river and along the banks- and visited the Ship right on the water’s edge. Great spot for a pint. There was also a lovely gin garden bar just before which looked lovely. We loved the house, with the pool and garden- so much space to relax in with a big group so we didn’t go out for any days. But there were plenty of people hiring Paddleboards, canoes and taking boat trips down by the river. There was lots to do in the house- playing games, playing pool, swimming and relaxing. The kitchen was big enough for a few of us to prep together and not be in each others’ way. The beds were really comfortable and there were plenty of bathrooms for 16 of us. It really was a wonderful experience. Communication from BHHL was excellent and clear throughout- which really helped me when planning food and what to bring for kitchen equipment. Thank you so much.

We recommend Woody's cafe in the village. The coffee is good and the cheesecakes were unbelievable - we bought lots! Symonds Yat - canoeing down the river. Perfect for all ages. When we went they tied 2 canoes together to accommodate a party of 6 and the extra stability was perfect for very young children. Very safe and very helpful company. The house was perfect. The rooms were all up to standard and clean. We were particularly pleased with the level of safety, especially as we had 9 children 7 and under. Stairs were carpeted and easy to manage and the pool area could be locked. This meant that adults were able to relax and the children were relatively free to wander around and play. Kitchen was well-stocked. The field/garden area was good for playing games. (I have extra feedback which i will message you directly. )

The Old Ferry Inn was closer than expected. It has a nice outlook. The Crown pub was very close and there are signs they are working hard to update it. Old Court Inn was very picturesque and close also Butterfly farm very close and we enjoyed seeing the butterflies. It will be a bonus when the maze reopens The house was lovely and bedrooms comfortable, it was very clean and plenty of equipment The weather was glorious and the pool was used by most guests and loved by the children. The pergola was great. We sat outside for most meals and bought the tables closer together

Woods of Whitchurch, local cafe, was excellent, coffee was great and a good choice of produce in the shop as well Very close to the River Wye, with some lovely walks, opportunities to hire SUPs and canoes and great riverside pubs The house was amazing! We visited during the heat wave and the pool, outside seating and eating areas, barbeques and lawn area were great for our family gathering (there were 12 of us). It was also the Football World Cup when we were there and the games room with large TV was great!
Wendy MDirect bookingJuly 2026

Cafe a 50 metres away was great. They sold us two big deserts which were delicious. We had a good and very cheap Indian meal at Paddocks Hotel just accross the A40. We enjoyed climbing Symmonds Yat and the view from the top although the approach road was narrow. The Butterfly Zoo nearby in the village was lovely. Monmouth had an unusual bridge ( medieval?) anf was a small pretty town.
Cynthia FDirect bookingJune 2026
The whole family really loved the house and enjoyed a short walk along the river on Saturday afternoon. This is the first party house we have booked together for an event but it now won’t be the last.

Mum’s 80th birthday weekend 🎉 We had a smashing weekend in this very comfortable, well-equipped home. The younger members of the party especially loved the games room and swimming pool—hours of fun were had by all! A great location, with plenty to see and do in the immediate area. We can highly recommend The Potting Shed for a delicious meal and Yofi for a fantastic choice of local beers 🍻 All 19 of us fitted in extremely well, which made the celebration even more special. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We stayed at Brookside to take a break from city and enjoy the beautiful countryside in Ross-on-Wye. The house is wonderfully equipped and suitable for large families. From the extremely comfortable beds to the entertaining games room, this house has it all and lacked nothing. Overall, we had an amazing time at Brookside and definitely recommend it to anyone looking to escape the city and relax.
