Very nice hotel in an amazing town with lots of great bookstores and other funky shops. Nice restaurant for dinner and breakfast, with public parking across the road (as well as somewhat cramped hotel parking).

Fantastic, helpful staff - well tested, when we arrived a day early by mistake , but smoothed over in an instant . If you are in town for books - you could not have a better location, easy to dash back with your bibliophile hauls .

Perfect Location

The hotel is in a perfect location for a visit to Hay on Wye. It is a short walk to all the shops and amenities. It has on site parking behind the hotel. On this particular visit I had twisted my knee prior to arrival and I found the staircases up to our room a bit of a challenge.

Very accommodating staff, lovely large room and well looked after. Really tasty cooked breakfast, although the cereals table looked a bit makeshift (but this is getting picky). Porter opened the bar late so we could have a few drinks after coming back from a wedding

Lovely hotel with excellent staff

Arrived to a very warm and helpful welcome. Room was lovely. Highlight was the excellent staff. Especially Sarah. Very dog friendly and the enclosed garden was not only beautiful but ideal four our dog.
