House Facts
Holly Tree House was built overlooking the River Wye as a hotel in the late 1700s to take advantage of the new interest in 'tourism'. As the Wye Valley was the birthplace of British tourism it could justifiably be described as Britain’s first tourist hotel.

We had an absolutely incredible stay in Holly Tree House. From the moment we arrived we felt very welcome and it has everything you need for a relaxing stay catching up with family and friends. Comfortable beds, clean and tidy rooms and set in the most perfect location. Waking up and hearing nothing but the river and the birds was simply sublime and we left feeling rejuvenated and totally relaxed. Can't wait to come back again next year - we have done lots of research and it doesn't get much better than this for the price. Excellent value. stunning location. Thanks again.

Incredible location - lots of great walks and pubs nearby, not to mention the scenery. Everything well-equipped and clean. Definitely won't be our last visit!

Fabulous rental property, slightly dated interior, however it is having a refurbishment during the winter.

Great big house, perfect for a large family gathering. Beautiful location.Being truthful the building is a bit tired but it's around 2k cheaper than similarly sized accommodation in the area, so perfectly acceptable.Kitchen was well equipped, house was clean. Plenty of room in the bins for rubbish. Access is down a single track road, but it's fine can easily get a LWB transit or Transporter down there.Usefully came with dish cloths, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and bog roll.Lovely walking along the river and in the woods behind the house.No mobile signal, which isn't a surprise due to the location and internet is a bit slow but fine for streaming Netflix. Would rather spend time having fun with the people there, than be on the internet all weekend so not a problem.

This house is in a WONDERFUL location, the backdrop is truly stunning. However the house is dated and could do with some investment, especially for the rates they charge for hire (even the neighbor asked if we were going to give it a paint). It really could be a 4/5 star holiday let with a little love.The hot tub wasn't available until the evening of the second night, which was disappointing as it's a feature I am sure is cooperated into the fees.It wasn't the cleanest house, there was a considerable amount of dust in the rooms and grease in the kitchen. The dust became a problem with one member of our group who has Asthma. Some of the rooms had no toilet paper, and there were no spares in the house. This was annoying, as it's a remote location and we had to drive to go and get some.There are some lights in this house in the communal areas that don't seem to turn off. This was a hindrance to peoples rest, as rooms have windows directly onto these areas. A lot of our guests unfortunately didn't sleep very well.Not a lot of thought has gone into some of the features of the property, in our room the toilet roll holder was on the door, miles away from the toilet. It was odd.There is no wifi apart from in the hallway downstairs, could be an idea to invest in some routers to extend this to other areas of the house.If you're looking to rent this property, here's some advice I would have found useful:Take your own towels - they seemed to have a problem washing the ones supplied.Take your own toilet paper.The owner is an estate agent (the house is covered in notices stating deposits will be lost etc etc, they seem to throw every trick in the book at you)Book a slot to take rubbish to the dump in Monmouth - there is limited bin capacity, especially for a house of 21 people. It would be a better idea to book in a slot at the dump on the day of your departure and get rid of excess rubbish this way.Take an eye-mask.If dust/cleanliness is a big factor for you, prepare to do some cleaning on arrival.

Quick and super friendly! Had to change my booking with Big House Holiday Lets 3 times 'cos of Covid then had to cancel and got refund. BHHL fantastic to deal with. Highly recommend.

Lovely and beautiful setting. So peaceful. Walks all over the place. The house itself is fully equipped, rooms are basic but clean. Few en suites and 2 x family bathrooms. Big outside seating area which is nice for big groups.
Melanie Woodhouse
Large space for our large family, could do with some TLC , all of the down stairs needs a lick of paint . Quite a bit of damp in some of the rooms so much so it affected a couple of us who have asthma, but it is a great location and a very large house , access not great for anyone with larger vehicles. Expected a bit better for the money
Phil Parker
Lovely place, had everything we needed including a nice view and dog friendly, fairly good amount of parking available. Downside being no mobile phone signal and when we stayed the phone line was dead. Plenty in the area to keep you busy.

This is a delightful place to stay. Overlooking the River Wye with the wooded Yat on the opposite bank the location could hardly be bettered. Driving from London is easy, and the house has a period charm and a modern and well appointed kitchen. Altogether, this is a great venue for a family group, or ... old chums. You will have a great time here, whether you want to go hiking, canoeing, pub crawling, or just do nothing at all!!

Stayed here for a long weekend a couple of weeks ago and had the absolute best time! There were 18 of us for my partner's birthday celebrations - Oli was the perfect host and the house was an amazing and idyllic setting for the festivities. Thank you Oli for being brilliant and letting us stay ... at Holly Tree House :)
