Overview
Property code: BN002

Have a break in the famous Welsh book town of Hay-on-Wye and take a couple of contented canines with you. This two-bedroom property is at the centre of the historic town which is known for its literary festival. Enjoy exploring the interesting streets, pause for lunch in a dog-friendly pub, then head back to the cottage to soak up the sunshine in the enclosed garden. Plan days trips out from your base; pick up the long-distance Offa’s Dyke Path, for example, to keep furry feet happy and tails wagging all day long.

Arrive at the period holiday home and wander in to find a warm welcome. Feed your hungry hounds in the kitchen/diner then prepare something for everyone else with the fresh ingredients you have sourced in Hay. Serve up at the table and open the French windows on warm days, so Fido and Fred can amble in and out. Call your cheerful chums through to the lounge with you for relaxed evenings in together. Find your favourite programme on TV or settle down to a DVD. Give soft ears a last rub before heading up to the steep, cottage-style stairs to a double bedroom, with the family bathroom nearby. A family room, with three single beds, is up more steep, cottage-style stairs on the floor above. Have coffee out in the courtyard garden on warm mornings, while your pals pad about, and light the BBQ in the evening. Parking is on the street or in town car parks, subject to availability.

Head 5 miles from the cottage, and just over the border into England, to enjoy a 6-mile walk with your faithful friends, taking in Craswall Priory and Hay Bluff. For a gentler stroll from home, follow the picturesque, 2-mile Hay-on-Wye River and Rail Trail circular walk.

This is a very nice house in a lovely location. Wonderfully warm. Stairs very steep. Ideal walking distance to the shops. Wonderful walks on the doorstep.

Charming period house in great central location. Cozy and well equipped with great new boiler so showers and heating were great. Plenty of space for family of 4. No parking space, but we managed to find a space somewhere on the road when we used the car. However this may be more difficult in peak season. Great base for exploring the black mountainsRead more and Brecons. Also close to Hereford for a nice day out. The steep stairs were not an issue and we have small children and added to the charm.

This is a lovely property in a great location. Across the road are some excellent walks, and the town centre is a 5 minute walk away. The house was clean and well equipped - with some kitchen essentials to start us off, which was very much appreciated. The beds were comfy and the shower was powerful.

Lovely holiday with excellent walking. Cottage is well placed to enjoy Hay and is an easy walk to the centre. The stairs are steep and if you have mobility issues then this isn't for you. A few things in the cottage need addressing but it didn't ruin our holiday.

Location great, house lovely, if you struggle with steps this isn't for you, steep due to the age of the house. Even though there isnt any parking with the house, it wasnt difficult to find a space.

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.
