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 inside Elgar

Sleeps 2–3 · Private walled courtyard garden

Grosvenor

Nestled between Elgar and Harewood, with parkland on one side and the courtyard on the other - and a stable door onto a private walled garden made for al fresco dinners and stargazing.

Step inside Grosvenor

Sleeps 4 · Stylish and sociable

Harewood

The sociable one - two king-size bedrooms for up to four, an open-plan living room around a painted fireplace, and stable doors front and back onto the courtyard and a private walled garden.

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.
