Perfect quiet and walkable location
Very comfortable stay with lots of room for 5 people to spread out. Well stocked kitchen. Appreciated the off street parking. Easy check-in and owner is accessible and informative. Best part is the easy walking distance to everything in Hay-On-Wye! We all loved our stay and the village!

Lovely stay
A lovely little house in the centre of Hay. Off road parking was a bonus, as was the handy boot room at the rear. There was everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The property is a litle dated in places, but just right for three people walking the Offas D. Path.

A beautiful house
Andy's place is ideal - a short walk from the bookshops and cafes of Hay, as well as from the Warren. There's a little playground nearby for younger children and the street is very quiet. The house is lovely - the rooms are spacious, the furniture beautiful and comfortable, and all the added extras (books, toys) were really thoughtful. A fabulous base for a tri to Hay-On-Wye.

Cosy home in great location
We loved our stay in the property. It was well equipped and had everything we needed. It was clean, with a modern - yet shabby-chic feel. The location was also ideal. Walking distance into Hay centre, and close enough for days out to the Wales coast. Overall we had a lovely experience staying there.

Fabulous accommodation in a lovely location
The house is fabulously located, just a few minutes walk from the town centre. We found it scrupulously clean and tidy. It was comfortable throughout with delightful decor, including beautiful bespoke furniture. It has off road parking and the garden at the back although small has a sunny aspect and there is an area to sit and relax. Communication from the owner was first rate, with clear instructions prior to arrival. My daughter and I had a wonderful time in Hay browsing the many bookshops which was our main purpose of the visit - but the house location is also ideally suited for walking and cycling, if only we’d had more time. We definitely intend to book this property again in the future, probably for a longer stay.

A lovely, peaceful cottage in great location for the town of Hay
The cottage was clean, tidy and comfortable, and met all my needs. It had a cosy, relaxed feel about it. It was well equipped and had the right balance of furniture and interiors without feeling cluttered. A lovely walled garden where you could sit outside. Convenient location for the town centre of Hay, and easy walking distance. I would certainly stay there again and highly recommend it.

The property is absolutely perfect in terms of location and then add on to that it is beautifully clean and impeccably furnished - perfect! Also, brilliant for kids as our 7 year old had her own room but it was right next to ours just in case she did wake up xxx
