Situated in Symonds Yat East, Rose Cottage has been a popular destination for visitors for centuries, partly due to the ancient hand pulled ferry which operates outside our front door and partly for the multitude of activities available locally on and off the river.

The view from Rose Cottage upstream looks over to Symonds Yat West towards the Olde Ferrie Inn, while downstream you can see The Biblins Rapids and the glorious three counties view of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire.

No matter what season you decide to visit you will find something for everyone. Whether you are looking for outdoor activities or simply a few days escape from the rat race you will find Symonds Yat East an idyllic corner of Old England and always a very warm welcome for you at Rose Cottage.

The Rock has been visited by lots of famous characters over the years; ranging from Anthony Hopkins and Deborah Winger when they were filming Shadowlands, to Sir Cliff Richard and Coronation Street stars to name but a few.

When my mum took on the business in 1989 it was a leap of faith, having never done anything quite like this before – she had to learn quick! It was sooo busy! It was a big change from the Pathologist lab she was used to. She employed more staff – local ladies and their children, myself, my sister and my brother. My dad would help out after work (if he wanted to get fed!).
