A well-appointed property in the heart of Hay-on-Wye, ideal for families seeking to explore the beautiful landscape of the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons.

Immerse yourself in the fantastic town of Hay-on-Wye with a stay in this town centre property. Situated on the brink of the Brecon Beacons and with an abundance of thrilling activities on offer close by, this cottage couldn’t be better for an adventure-seeking family hoping to discover the very best of rural Wales. The property hosts five guests and two dogs amongst comfortable furnishings and a traditional décor – the perfect base for spending quality time together after long days of thrills and adventure.

Boasting a sympathetic style throughout, this lovingly updated cottage maintains plenty of original features that teem with character. Step into the stylish lounge with a bay window and feature fireplace, a wonderful space to chat late into the night. The ornate fireplace is equipped with a gas fire for keeping cosy and warm throughout winter months. An open-plan kitchen/diner offers direct access to the enclosed courtyard via French doors, ideally suited for pets or children to securely play. Speaking of the younger visitors, a second storey triple bedroom offers a wonderful sleepover spot for three. It's accessible up steep cottage stairs and nestled under the eaves – perfect for bunking down and telling bedtime stories. A comfortable double bedroom can be found just at the bottom of these stairs on the first floor.

Truly an enviable location for any Hay-on-Wye stay, access the fantastic bookshops, welcoming local pubs or the banks of the River Wye within 0.5 miles. Plan your visit to coincide with the annual literary festival or simply get lost in the eclectic bookshops the town has to offer.

Very basic cottage and not worth the 746 we paid. An upgrade is needed (particularly the bathroom). The stairs were steep - please do not underestimate this they are very steep! There was no welcome pack which whilst not required was a tad disappointing when most other cottages provided at least tea, coffee and milk for a couple of days. There is nRead moreo hairdryer at this property as well as no full length mirror and no clocks! The location however was ideal for exploring Hay-on-Wye. Hide

Perfect location for exploring Hay and the river Wye. Only five minutes into town, even closer for walking along the river. Nice Pubs with good food in close range. The house has the charm of victorian times with extension, so there is enough space for a family of four. The staircases are quite steep and not very comfortable for tall people.

Ideal central location. Great for a relaxing family holiday close to many superb book shops, country walks and cafes. Light and airy house which was well equipped. Soon got used to the steep stairs! WiFi signal throughout the property. Comfy beds. Towels on the small side.

WOW, what a disappointment. Opened the door past checkin time to what my wife described as a Uni Flat, with the uncleanlinesses to match. Spent considerable time in cleaning the kitchen, complete with removing old food from the lone, cracked small cutting board and the absolutely disgusting bathtub. Everything seems to be done at a minimum here andRead more the recommendations offered in the Guest Log, going back to 2015, show little has been addressed. Certainly not happy and not worth the 734GBP. Hide
