A little gem of a cottage centrally situated in Hay. Comfortably and tastefully furnished. The kitchen is very well equipped. Lovely piping hot shower with high end toiletries. The log burner was great in the evenings. We had a great stay here. Highly recommended

Loved the cottage. We were there in -4 temperatures but the central heating was super efficient and the best woodburner we've ever used. Can only hope to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the little courtyard in the evening. Potential lack of parking outside might be an issue for some but this was highlighted when booking and didn't bother us asRead more free and paying car parks available in town, owner even provided additional information on locations. Nice welcome pack. Hide

What a fabulous little cottage. Absolutely beautifully renovated with real character, which made us feel very at home. The kitchen was well appointed, the shower, wonderful and the beds, super comfy. And it is right in the heart of town, meaning everything that Hay has to offer is right on your doorstep. We will definitely return and recommend to fRead moreriends. Hide
