Summary - THE CHALET SYMONDS YAT ROSS-ON-WYE HR9 6JL
1 bed 1 bath Hotel
Scale leisure village in the Wye Valley with multiple income streams and expansion consent.
Circa 50 bedrooms across four properties and multiple accommodation types
A unique riverside leisure village in the Wye Valley AONB, offered as a single freehold package across circa 6.74 acres. The estate combines four trading businesses — Royal Lodge Hotel, Wye Rapids House, The Saracens Head Inn and The Weir House — plus two pay-and-display car parks and riverside moorings, creating multiple immediate income streams from accommodation, food and beverage, parking and ferry/boat activity.
For an investor or operator this is a rare growth platform. The Royal Lodge currently offers 26 rooms and benefits from outline permission (Sept 2024, Ref: P231203/O) to add around 22 ensuite rooms, taking it to c.40 bedrooms. The site already produces ancillary revenue from circa 200-event conference capacity, lucrative pay-and-display car parks (including ANPR and circa 100 spaces), riverside moorings and a ferry service. The Royal Lodge also uses two 99 kW pellet boilers with 10 years of RHI remaining — a material operational saving.
The individual buildings offer flexible uses: Wye Rapids House (12 bedrooms + 1-bed apartment) works as a standalone large holiday let or ancillary hotel accommodation; The Weir House is a high-quality four-bedroom self-cater and is already generating repeat bookings; The Saracens Head Inn is a characterful pub/inn with circa nine letting rooms, substantial internal/external covers and additional riverside kiosk income. Together they present immediate trading or repositioning opportunities, including combining hotels, spa conversion, glamping/eco-lodges or enhanced events and riverside experiences.
Notable constraints are factual and should be considered: the location sits within a medium flood risk zone, broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. The hamlet setting is isolated by design (end of a no-through road), so operations rely on tourist/leisure footfall and road access. Some buildings are C20th extensions and the outline permission contemplates demolition/rebuild of one extension; further capital investment will be required to execute larger development plans. Environmental features include pellet boilers and parts of the estate have period fabric that will need ongoing conservation-sensitive maintenance.
This is a once-in-a-generation acquisition for a purchaser seeking a profitable, scale leisure asset in a protected scenic location with clear expansion potential and diversified income streams.
