“An exceptional property in a beautiful location.”

The property has high end fixtures and fittings throughout and is comfortably and stylishly furnished. The huge front window provides stunning views of the surrounding countryside and wildlife. Our host, Ian, was very friendly and the cake on arrival much appreciated. Located in a charming village and close to many places of interest. We particularly liked Monmouth. Would book again.

- Mrs Shields, September 2019

“Excellent accommodation in a beautiful setting.”

Extremely helpful and friendly hosts. A place to return to for a restful holiday.

- Mr Green, August 2019
“Very well presented accommodation with fabulous view from lounge window.”

Our dog loved watching the sheep and anything else that moved! Lovely quiet location and a joy to come back to each day. Good location for visiting Symonds Yat and the Wye valley in general. Plenty of places to visit within 15 miles radius. Very hospitable owner, Ian, who was helpful with any queries and suggestions. If visiting again in this part of the country would not hesitate to book the Lookout. Very enjoyable week - with or without the sunshine.

- Mrs Lee, August 2019

We will definitely be back again!

“Ian and Sally provided us great hospitality, peaceful and quiet time during our holiday.”

Nothing can be compare with beautiful view and swimming pool. I would recommend the Lookout to everyone who want really rest and enjoy that lovely place on the earth. For us that was one of the best holiday ever!!!!!! Slav and Aga

- Mr Dabrowski, July 2019
“Fabulous accommodation in a truly beautiful setting.”

The ultimate rural retreat. The swimming pool was a real bonus. The owners made us feel very welcome. Worth a trip to the local pub where the food was good and the landlady and locals are very friendly... and it's just a gentle stroll down the lane! What can you say about the Wye Valley and surrounding areas? Simply stunning. We can highly recommend this holiday let.

- Mr Brooker, June 2019
“Fabulous holiday home, in a quiet setting.”

Great views of the countryside.The bed was very comfortable and was bigger than we have had previously. The owners were lovely people and gave us advice as to where to go. The local Royal Arms pub is a very nice place and dog friendly. Food here is great. Would recommend The Lookout.

- Mr Bowler, June 2019
“The owners were very friendly and very helpful.”

I would highly recommend this place and already have. The local pub is nice and also very friendly. There is plenty to do if you like the outdoors. Being able to take our two well behaved dogs was very important to us. 10 out of 10 we will definitely book again

- Mr Neale, May 2019
“The Lookout in Llangrove is a fabulous property with the most amazing views from the floor to ceiling window in the main room.”

The fixtures and fittings are all of a high standard. The kitchen is good if you want to cook and the Royal Arms is only 5 minutes walk away if you don’t. The pub is friendly and food good. The owners of the property, who live next door, are very helpful, they gave us details of local walks and nearby attractions. The day before we arrived the owner also send us a very helpful map of where the property was. When we arrived there was milk in the fridge, tea, coffee and cake. Will stay here again.

- Ms Crompton, May 2019
“The Outlook was a charming and enticing holiday facility, in a fascinating area of scenery and tourist facilities.”

The hosts were most accommodating and helpful and we had the most enjoyable break. Plenty to see, do and visit in the area, good food in the surrounding area and we had an altogether delightful stay.

- Mr Mcinerney, May 2019
“Charming hosts.”

Stunning apartment and location. Well placed for exploring the local area.

- Mr Pierce, March 2019
“The Lookout is stunning!”

We wouldn't change a thing! The location is beautiful and the Lookout is extremely cosy and relaxing. We had a fantastic time and would definitely stop here again.

- Miss Mealins, March 2019
“Wonderful holiday let that did not disappoint.”

Wonderful hosts very helpful and friendly. The standard of the cottage was excellent. Could do with a blind on the outer door in the bedroom to help with morning light. We stayed during awful windy and cold weather but we were very warm and snug. The log fire was brilliant, lots of logs and heating in the bedroom. Loved our stay and would highly recommend. We would definitely return. Thank you to the hosts.

- Mr Thomas, March 2019
“The Lookout was amazing, just what we needed and more!”

Arriving to the fire burning, milk in the fridge ready to make a coffee and cake to go with it to sit and enjoy the view after our journey from Leeds was just the perfect personal touch. Ian was so welcoming and helpful with his knowledge of the area and recommendations of where to go. We explored Symonds Yak, tried the local pub (food was lovely), went for a walk through Forest of Dean, visited Monmouth and then enjoyed nights in front of the fire in what can only be described as somewhere that felt like home. Superb facilities. Definitely somewhere we want to come back to!

- Mr Thompson, February 2019
“We had an amazing time.”

The Lookout is an excellent, spacious, modern and comfortable space with a great view from the huge window in the lounge. The log burner is brilliant and we could easily just sit there all day looking at the fire and view outside. However it's also very close to Wye Valley with lots of places to explore.

- Mr Bolshakov, January 2019
“Beautiful, peaceful location.”

Finished to a high standard, cosy, incredible views. Hosts couldn't have been more accommodating. Walks from the doors and lovely local pub.

- Ms Dean, December 2018
“Absolutely perfect!”

Idillic getaway in a fantastic location. A perfect way to spend Christmas. Can’t fault it. Ian and Sally are lovely and always able to help. We didn’t want to go home, and will definitely be back to stay again! Thank you Ian and Sally!!

- Miss Hawes, December 2018
“The Lookout is like a little home from home, everything you need in a perfect location (assuming you want some peace and quiet).”

Would certainly recommend, Ian is lovely and couldn't do enough for us (even allowed us to stay later than the usual checkout on our last morning)

- Mr Livie, December 2018
“Excellent - 10 out of 10!”

- Mr Harrison, December 2018
“Thank you so very much to Ian and Sally for being so friendly and welcoming, and providing us such a lovely place to stay!”

The apartment is beautiful, and with the wood burner going it was an incredibly cosy place to stay even on the coldest nights. The view from the picture window is absolutely gorgeous, and we could have quite easily spent the days just watching the beautiful valley below. In the end though we decided to go out and explore, and thankfully Ian was able to give us really good advice on where to go and what to see so we didn't miss out on anything! Can't wait to do back!
