Priced for 4 staying, sleeps 4. Simply the best self-catering accommodation in Hay on Wye, Wales' famous book town.
Most likely rebuilt in the seventeenth century on a medieval burgage plot running up to the castle, this beautiful holiday home had a formal rendering of its oak frame in Georgian or Victorian days, and a recent rejuvenation inside to create what we think is simply the best self-catering option in the Hay-on-Wye area. The location is perfect, the interior is gorgeous, and the local owner has dressed the place beautifully with a wonderful art collection and furnishings. Comfortable, tasteful, curated.
Beyond being the best accommodation for the world-famous Hay Festival, here you'll find that Hay provides an enjoyable stay at any time of the year, whether you like good books, good food, good antiques or hiking.
Sleeping four in two bedrooms, and two good bathrooms, plus sofabeds in two further rooms for up to four others, it'd be a great place for friends to come together, do some canoeing down on the river, potter about the shops, and dine out, withour anyone even having to use the (well-appointed) kitchen.
