Hay Retreats, hotel in Hay-on-Wye

Hay Retreats is located in a quiet cul-de-sac near to the town Center. There are two neighboring pet friendly townhouses, numbers 25 and 26.

A spacious and clean apartment with plenty of room for our family of four. We really enjoyed the location just around the corner from the main clock tower, and luckily in town during the Thursday farmers market, which was lovely. The apartment was well furnished with comfy couch and two arm chairs on main floor (with plenty of board games to keep us occupied), full size dining table on bottom floor with a large outdoor area overlooking the river and large kitchen. Bedrooms were comfy and our kids loved their twin bedded room. Overall, a fantastic stay!

The Old Black Lion, hotel in Hay-on-Wye

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.

    Lovely place to visit and spend a relaxing few days.

    Lovely place to visit and spend a relaxing few days. People were very friendly . Lots to see for such a small place . We also attended the Royal Welsh Show which exceeded our expectations. We ate evening meals in a few different places and never had any reason to complain.

    A lovely little town.

    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.

    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.

    It was delightful. Quirky, well-equipped and spacious. There was a generous balcony ideal for lazy afternoons looking out over the beautiful Herefordshire countryside. Staying on a small holding gave us an insight into life on a farm. A ten minute walk took us to the centre of Hay on Wye. Our hosts were very welcoming and attentive.

    The property was in a great location, was very spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The croissants, jam, biscuits & fruit were a nice surprise. It was great to have a nice living area to relax in, instead of being crammed into a small hotel room.

    Lovely building but needs some refurbishment. Comfortable bed and pleasant restaurant, lovely garden. Good location on the edge of Hay town. The hotel is on a main road but it was quiet at night.
