The house was clean and well presented on arrival. Prior to coming the host answer any questions we had regarding the house, as it was Christmas they had even put a decorated tree in the dining room, a very nice touch. Great location near to town centre and the off street parking is a great help. I would recommend this accommodation, has everything you need for a short stay.

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.

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!

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.

The property is outstanding, both in terms of location, and facilities.

We liked the style of the house a lot. The patio and the walled back garden are very useful and handy. One can park the car just beside it. The house has all you need for a comfortable stay and Andy did not leave one stone unturned, to make it a pleasant stay. In terms of location, you are a few minutes away from the town centre, and a few hundreds of yards away from the river Wye bank.

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.
