Welcome to Wharton Lodge

A home from home, not just a place to sleep

Surrounded by parkland and manicured gardens, our three cottages - Elgar, Grosvenor and Harewood - sit around a quiet courtyard three miles from the market town of Ross-on-Wye.

Each has a character of its own, and every stay begins the same way: fresh flowers on the table, a welcome hamper on the side and nothing you have to do next except put the kettle on.

Step outside

Fountains, a furnished glasshouse and fourteen acres to yourselves

Listen to water falling in the walled garden, unwind with a book in the glasshouse, or stroll the parkland as the sun sets over the tree-covered hills.

Beyond the gate: the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean, castles at Goodrich, Eastnor and Chepstow and everything from kayaking and paddle boarding to GoApe.
