Situated in Hay-on-Wye town centre, this cottage is a perfect base for discovering the Brecon Beacons National Park and River Wye. Originally an apple store that has been refurbished from the original cider house.

Perfect for families and friends seeking a relaxing getaway, this delightful property is set in a charming spot close to the heart of Hay-on-Wye. Offering warm and cosy accommodation for eight guests, the property was originally an apple store that has been imaginatively renovated to make a light, welcoming and relaxing holiday home. Featuring a walled garden, a light-filled conservatory and its own open-air cinema with a wide selection of films, this wonderful detached property provides a wonderful bolthole for keen walkers and cyclists exploring the Wye Valley and the Brecon Beacons.

There are three tastefully decorated bedrooms upstairs: one king-size, one double and a twin, each with an en-suite shower room. From the conservatory, steps lead down into the pretty walled garden, a delightful space perfect for children to play and featuring a large, raised decked area ideal for dining alfresco. An outdoor pizza oven is available for use with the option of fresh pizza dough from the owners kitchen by arrangement.

A beautiful home in a perfect location. Simon and Kazuko were so welcoming and the cottage had absolutely everything you needed for a perfect stay from a log burner to a cocktail shaker!!! Luxurious bedding/towels.Across the road from the town centre, but quiet and very private with the all important parking for at least two cars. Simon and Kazuko Read morewere always available with suggestions for places to eat and things to see and obviously very involved in the local community, but equally discreet. Hide

An attractive well-equipped cottage in a great central location with plenty of parking. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom which is definitely a bonus. The owners live in the house next door and were very helpful and friendly, we would definitely recommend trying their Japanese food.
