Property code: OC-77381

Boasting a brilliant location for book lovers and adventurers, escape to the literary hub of Hay-on-Wye which sits on the tip of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The garden is treated to verdant views and is the perfect spot to spend sunny evenings with a glass of something cold in hand. Inside, contemporary style underpins the interior, whisking you right into holiday mode from the moment you step foot inside.

Cosy and stylish, this home is great for enjoying moments of relaxation and for planning adventures in the magical Brecon Beacons. The large corner sofa welcomes you to sink down and switch off in front of the TV for cosy film nights or liven things up and dance along to your favourite song on the Sonos soundbar with the open patio doors keeping you cool. A trio of Alexas will help you keep the good tunes flowing as you head into the kitchen/diner to rustle up a feast. Here, sleek lines and fresh tones create a calm environment in which to exert your culinary skills. With light flooding in, you can admire the green hues of the scenery through the glass as you cook. Plate up before sipping al fresco tipples outside and heading to bed in one of three first-floor bedrooms with charming style.

Roam the characterful streets of Hay-on-Wye which are dotted with bookshops, eateries and galleries for you to peruse. Time your trip to coincide with the annual literary festival or make a splash and paddle at the beautiful riverside meadow known as The Warren or hire kayaks in nearby Glasbury (4.5 miles). Venturing into the Brecon Beacons, peaks, lakes and bustling villages await. The activity centre at Llangorse (13.5 miles) is great for adrenaline seekers whilst the highest peak in South Wales, Pen-y-Fan commands breathtaking vistas from its summit, 24 miles from home.

We had a wonderful holiday at Hay House. The location is excellent, a short walk into Hay on Wye, and great dog walking options. We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed walks along the Wye Valley path, Offa's Dyke and a path that runs next to the River Wye to the Warren. The house is very well equipped, good quality cookware and nice sharp Read morekitchen knives. It is a modern and well insulated building, we did find it quite warm compared to our home. There are lovely views out of the kitchen window, and our dog was fascinated by the cows. We enjoyed many local restaurants and the Lucky 7 Co Brewery is nearby (just past the Coop), with their taproom open on Fridays (with a food van outside). Hide

A fantastic home from home in Hay. Perfectly situated - only five minutes walk into town and also very close to the Co-op for supplies - and very well-equipped.

A smart, almost brand-new house on a small estate that was extremely well equipped. It was well presented, clean and with loads of 'stuff'. It is well-placed on the outskirts of town but only 10 minutes away, whilst a river-walk affords a good route away from traffic if you have dogs. Hay has restaurants, bars and coffee shops and the ample Co-op iRead mores just across the road. Downsides were that the heating is controlled by the owner, 100 miles away and garden needs dog-security improving. Hide
