Surrounded by beautiful scenery but just a few minutes' walk from Hay-On-Wye's center, this charming inn has a traditional wooden-beamed bar.

The inn has character, comfort, hospitality, and amazing food. The staff is friendly, the rooms very comfortable, and did I mention the amazing food? We were a party of 7, with 2 kids, and even with appetizers, mains, and deserts, we only averaged £25 per person for AMAZING food. Highly recommended.

Everything!!! From a very warm welcome from the owners, who upgraded our stay before we had even arrived, to the superb breakfast. The building was warm and inviting, the room beautifully clean and cosy. The slightly sloping floor added some jollity to the stay. The open fire in the bar was lovely and added to the cosy atmosphere. The bar was busy with locals who were enjoying having a well stocked and friendly pub nearby. We will definitely be going back at the earliest opportunity.

The house was very well designed, had lots of storage space and was really clean. All bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms, which was brilliant. The welcome hamper was...welcome. Location was perfect, right in the town.The electric charging point next to the house was a bonus.

This is a quirky hotel in a great location with friendly staff.
A lovely little town. Obviously you will most likely be going for the bookshops. There are also other interesting shops, and on one of the days we visited - Thursday - a market.
Lovely countryside around too

Hay is great , there is always something to do here. Some lovely antique shops and vintage bizarres. Great coffee shops and restaurants. The Castle has been restored and is a beautiful gift to behold. We love walking along the river to The Warren and having a dip in the cold water.
A little gem of a place.

Hay is a beautiful village with many historic buildings and interesting shops. There are many options for outdoor recreation in the area. One thing to note is that most shops close at 5 PM. My favorite meal was dinner at The Old Black Lion. Every meal I had in Hay was excellent. Please note if you are using the bus to get from the train station at Hereford to check the bus schedule yourself since Google Maps pulled from the wrong table. There is a lovely walking path along the River Wye with amazing views of the river.

A wonderful place to visit!
A wonderful place to visit! Quirky shops, vast array of book & antique shops and a lovely market. Coffee shops we’ve visited have all been excellent. My husband and I regularly visit for a night or two. We dine at the Blue Boar and occasionally the Indian restaurant- both superb!
Lovely walks, and a ambience of calmness & fresh air entices us back all seasons.
My daughter and I have also camped nearby- that’s was fabulous too!

Only one overpriced pub which did food I liked.. the food cost telephone numbers
A lot of visitors looked they had just come out of a 1960's folk festival
Er, since the advent of Amazon do we really need bookshops?
Owner/hosts were absolutely amazing. They were able to give you complete privacy and treat you like one of the family. It was an entirely unique and positive experience. The inn along with the breakfast/bar/dinner was exceptional (do not underestimate the dinners here!!). The location was in the heart of the village and was an easy walk from the bus stop. I truly cannot say enough good things about this stay and will 100% be going back here the next time I visit Hay-on-Wye!
A wonderful apartment in Hay! From the meeting with the owner for the handover and tour of the apartment to our experience of living in a great apartment in this beautiful and eclectic town, our experience was really special. It was exactly what we needed and felt very comfortable, even having friends over for wine and cheese in the spacious living area. It was a perfect home-away-from home. Looking forward to returning in the future. Will definitely stay here again.
The house was in a great location, a short walk from the centre but quiet. Everything had been well thought through - every kitchen item you could think of was provided, lovely bedding and comfy beds, locally sourced soft furnishings, lots of games to play, lovely local toiletries. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the home comforts provided.
I stayed with a group of friends and we had no complaints. A perfect base to explore Hay on Wye from
Everyone was friendly and helpful. The steps from the pub to the rooms are very steep and I was helped with my suitcase to my room. Hotel was very quiet at night for this weary traveler. Parking was so convenient. My salmon dinner was delicious. My compliments to the chef. Breakfast in the morning (included in booking) was also delicious. I am so glad I got to stay and visit Hay-on- Wye before the festival.
Excellent location, near the centre of Hay-on-Wye, but still quiet and peaceful. The cottage was spacious, well maintained and meticulously clean. It had everything we could possibly need and we all found it very comfortable. The best place we have stayed in Hay yet (out of 6 different accomodations). I would highly recommend this accomodation, it is great value for money.
Friendly and attentive staff
Comfortable rooms 5 & 6 & 2
Excellent breakfast, especially the fruit salad!
Very very convenient for town centre.
Dog friendly
Good Wifi reception
Did I mention the fruit salad..?
Mind your head! I'm 6'2"!!!😁
You are staying in a hotel that is opposite a Clock Tower. Be prepared for the chimes! Every hotel in Hay can hear it anyway...
Loved the spacious rooms - excellent shower in the en suite. Proper prints and paintings on the wall - none of this corporate art. Luscious silk brocade curtains. Really comfortable. Great food. Sparkling clean. Parking. Nice staff and owner. Bang in the middle of Hay. All in all: perfect.
Lovely, clean room with a lot of space, comfortable bed, and great ensuite facilities. The flat-screen TV was a nice bonus! Very friendly and accommodating staff. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. Very close to the centre of Hay but on a quiet street.
The location is beautiful, with stunning views, the accommodation is superb and the hosts could not have been kinder or more accommodating. The breakfasts were outstanding and small luxuries (baskets of fruit, home made cakes) made our stay really special - all 7 days :-)
The house was very well designed, had lots of storage space and was really clean. All bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms, which was brilliant. The welcome hamper was...welcome. Location was perfect, right in the town.The electric charging point next to the house was a bonus.
Very friendly and well looked after. Lovely 16th century setting, excellent location, delicious breakfasts.Added bonus of the on site pool. Pleased to be greeted by a lovely Bearded Collie and to know it was a dog friendly hotel that we could bring our dog to next time.
Lovely welcoming owners. Easy to access Hay on Wye and the wider Wye Valley area. Very quiet and relaxing to be in. Comfortable and clean. Lovely gardens and wide ranging rural views. Spacious breakfast room. Sheep and chickens and fresh eggs.
Centrally located in Hay on Wye just 2min walk to castle and all town facilities. Spacious and versatile property with great rainfall showers in the three en-suites and comfortable beds. Characterful outside with easy to use modern interior.
A beautiful property, rooms are beautifully decorated and spacious and full of character. it is located near the centre of Hay less than 5 minutes walk to the Castle. I would highly recommend.
lovely hotel in a good location for discovering Hay. staff were fantastic. good food. free parking if you can get in the car park (but other car parks near by if full)
