Escape with a group of four and two of your furry friends to the Welsh market town of Hay-on-Wye. This charming cottage is a lovely home from home and has a sunny and enclosed where you can enjoy a morning coffee or an evening tipple after a busy day in the West Wales countryside.

Step inside this rustic, stone-built cottage into the spacious hallway where you can leave your walking boots before heading through to the cosy lounge. Here, the exposed brick and stones combine with contemporary furnishings blending the two styles effortlessly. Sit back and relax in front of the warming wood burner. The stylish kitchen is flooded with natural light and has everything you need to create delicious food that can be enjoyed at the table in the spacious dining room. Upstairs are the two sumptuous double bedrooms where you can unwind and rest up. Completing the interior of the property is a family bathroom. Outside, a lovely garden lined with mature plants catches the sun all year-round. Public parking is available within the town.

Hay-on-Wye is a lovely little town that is famed for its literary history and houses a wide range of book shops, independent stores, and a great selection of bars and restaurants. It is located right on the Wales-Herefordshire border so you will be well situated to explore both areas with ease. Keen walkers can join the superb Offa’s Dyke footpath which winds around the imposing Black Mountains (5.5 miles). If you fancy a day on the water, head to the wonderful Llangorse Lake (13 miles) where you can hire canoes or try out other water sports.

Fantastic location, right in the middle of Hay, and lovely cottage. If you have a dog the garden is very secure, although we had to leave our dog at home because of the heatwave so he didnt get a chance to enjoy it unfortunately! Cottage is very well equipped and the perfect blend of cosy and homely without feeling you are staying in someones home.Read more The owner met us there to give us the key, and a quick guide which was really handy. Best property weve stayed in! Hide

A comfortable, warm cottage with good facilities set in a perfect location to visit Hay-on-Wye. Car park is literally five minutes away and reasonably priced.
