    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

    Beautiful town. A must for all book lovers. Plenty of good quality eateries, providing a range of eating options. Local people are very friendly. We have visited three times in recent years and fully intend to visit again. We would never tire of this place.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Perfect in every way, tucked away in a peaceful spot with a lovely south facing outdoor space and stream at the bottom of the garden (separated by a fence).The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped with lovely touches such as cut flowers, welcome goodies and a very helpful visitor guide. An easy stroll into Hay with all its amenities. A great weekend with weather to match. We look forward to returning !

    Location was amazing for access to Hay and the festival, walk ten minutes max. Breakfast was fresh eggs, bread and milk. Wifi access, parking, keys all was made easy. The hosts were perfect, nearby if we needed them but left us to enjoy the space. Loved being surrounded by the animals who took it in turns to make their noise !!

    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 :-)
