Rhydspence, hotel in Hay-on-Wye

A 14th century country house located on the Welsh border of the Wye Valley, the Rhydspence is a former drovers inn surrounded by the countryside views.

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 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.

    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!

    pretentious!

    pretentious! 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?

    Dedicated parking was clearly signed. Key access via the key safe was easy with the code provided via email beforehand. The "apartment" was spacious and very well stocked with all that you would need for an extended self catering stay. Helpful tips were posted all around. The sofa bed was straightforward to set up and surprisingly comfortable. Shower was adequate. Wifi was good for standard email etc (I didn't try streaming movies over it). A 10 minute walk into central Hay-on-Wye.

    A very relaxing stay in a very large room with a big bathroom (a separate bath and shower). A beautiful view of the Golden Valley, with sheep grazing behind the house. Breakfast is excellent (why stay in a hotel and pay extra?). A car is essential to make the most of the location, but Hay-on-Wye, the Brecon Beacons and South Herefordshire are easily reached. I can highly recommend a stay in a part of the UK slightly off the usual tourist tracks.

    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.

    We arrived late about 7:30, but the receptionist confirmed our reservation for dinner. The food I think is slightly pricey, but I had the beef with roast vegetables which was extremely good. My wife and I stayed there three weeks ago and we will definitely keep going back. If you're looking for a well run traditional hotel then this is the place to stay in Hay!

    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 !!

    We really enjoyed our stay at The Smithy - we stayed in the annexe and the views from the outdoor deck were absolutely gorgeous! We had a lovely time in the outdoor space. It's only a five-minute drive away from Hay and they provided dinner recommendations which was so helpful. The breakfast was great too.

    Lovely place to stay. Very atmospheric, with old beams throughout but thoroughly modern in all the facilities. Very comfortable and well equipped throughout. Lovely to have the outside space as well. Great location in the centre of Hay - all too many temptations right outside the door!

    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 :-)
