Upstairs the cottage has been opened out to provide a fully open plan space with en-suite shower room and dressing room immediately off the master bedroom. The cottage is advertised as a luxury space, perfect for and intended for couples - being just one bedroom. We have maximised the upstairs space to create a beautiful super-king bedroom on one side of the upstairs, opening on the other side to an en-suite shower room with dressing room, whilst still incorporating the option to screen off the shower and toilet area should you wish.

This screen, while providing visual privacy does not provide great audio privacy.

Equivalent to what you may experience in an en-suite boutique hotel, guests typically love the high quality furnishings, comfort and design of this space, which has a fabulous electric, adjustable, Tempur super-king size bed.

It is worth noting that our cottage is a very characterful small stone period cottage with low ceilings and doorways. The staircase is also quite steep. For ourselves and most guests, this all adds to its charm but please take care if, like us, you are reasonably tall (5'10" or above) when going through doorways.

Guest access
Guests have sole use of the house during their stay. There is no rear access to the property, making the back garden and patio area delightfully secluded.

Other things to note
There is ample on-street parking adjacent to the cottage to the left and the right. You can park to unload luggage directly in front of the cottage. There is a free car park just a minute's walk away.

We provide bed linen, bath towels, and all bathroom essentials including shampoo and hand soap. We also provide a very well equipped kitchen - 'a real cook's kitchen' according to some of our guests - including all the basics of tea towels, paper towels, dish soap and condiments.

The cottage has a new gas central heating system with a HIVE thermostat so that you have direct control of the temperature during your stay.

Guest access
You have the whole cottage and its garden to yourselves.

Other things to note
Although there is a television and DVD player in the cottage, we do not have any TV service - no Sky, no BT Tv, no Freeview. You can, however, watch BBC iPlayer or log in to your own Amazon or Netflix account using the super fast WiFi.

We have a high quality Ruark R2 Mk 3 Streaming Music Player which can play DAB, FM or internet radio, Spotify, or connect to your phone or MPV Player via Bluetooth.

There are no interior doors in the cottage.

Please note that the ensuite shower room (with toilet) is only separated from the bedroom by a screen. It does not provide perfect privacy whilst using the facilities!

Please note that the stairs in this old cottage are quite steep.

Right in the centre of town, less than a two minute walk of local pubs, restaurants and shops, yet only 150 yards from the riverside and country walks. A quiet, secluded garden for the summer, a log fire in the lounge and warm welcoming beds for winter. Enhanced cleaning regime to ensure the safety of guests.

The space
The cottage is perfect for up to three people. The main bedroom has a double bed, the spare bedroom a single. In autumn and winter guests may wish to light the multi fuel stove in the lounge to supplement the central heating for a cosy night in. The main bedroom has an electric under blanket for ultimate pandering! There is a lovely quiet cottage garden at the rear of the property with beautiful antique benches on which to enjoy the tranquility.

Guest access
Guests have exclusive use of the whole house and garden for the period booked with no hidden extras, everything is included.

The cottage is located just out of the centre of Hay opposite the beautiful St Mary's Church. It is slightly quieter here than in the heart of the town but is still only a 5 minute walk into the centre. It is very easy to access the river walks, simply taking the path to the right of the church. The cottage is full of character with wooden beams, a wood-burning stove, the original fireplace in the bedroom, wooden flooring throughout the downstairs, and a beautiful south-facing garden.

The space
The cottage was built in the 1800's but was extended recently to the rear. The bathroom and single bedroom overlook the garden and the spacious double room is above the lounge at the front of the property. The bed is really comfortable with an Eve mattress and the shower has good pressure. The woodburner makes the cottage very cosy in the winter yet the lounge feels delightfully cool in the heat of the summer. The garden can be a sun-trap and is a beautiful space to read a book or share a meal. We have recently invested in a luxurious bistro reclining chair set and coffee table to maximise comfort when losing yourself in your book or just enjoying the garden and sunshine.

Guest access
Guests will have full access to all of the house and garden. There is ample free street parking within 50 metres of the cottage on gypsy castle lane. Despite the cottage not having on-site parking, guests have never complained about a lack of parking or the distance they have to park from the cottage. Parking in this area is safe and it is easier to park here than in the centre of Hay, with no time restrictions.

Other things to note
Please note the safety section. I have decided to not allow bookings for babies and young children as the cottage isn't really suitable and we don't have necessary safety equipment.

There is a key safe in the recess of the front door and I will inform you of the code prior to check-in.

It is worth noting that the stairs are "short and sharp" (see picture). There is a handrail to assist you but the cottage would probably not be suitable for anyone with significant mobility issues.

Bikes can be stored securely in the rear garden but unfortunately there is no side-alley and no outside tap at the front of the property and so you will need to take dirty bikes through the cottage. If you push the pink sofa forwards it's a straight run from the front to the back door so shouldn't be too much of a problem or mud-hazard!

There is a freezer in the garden shed but it is generally switched off as many guests do not use it and it seems wasteful to run an empty freezer. Feel free to switch it on at the plug when you arrive. Alternatively, let me know beforehand and I will make sure that it is ready to use on arrival. Please switch the freezer off when you leave.

A listed building in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Set in a quiet, cosy courtyard with one parking space. A few minutes walk to Hay & the riverside meadow.
Easy access to the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains.

Outside the back door is a small courtyard area where walking boots and wet weather gear can be hung to dry. This area gains access, via very steep very narrow steps, to a short shared pathway leading to a small wonderfully peaceful, private garden with seating and BBQ.

Again please note the narrow steep steps description to the garden!

Ideally located 'within' the beautiful market town of Hay, but please note the cottage is situated on the main thoroughfare through Hay town and will consequently have some traffic noise, mainly weekdays during the day.

Visit the Thursday morning market and sample the local produce. Stroll around the old town and visit one of the many coffee shops. A perfect base for walking, biking and canoeing on the pretty River Wye.

Your four pawed friends are very welcome to accompany you, we generally welcome one or two large dogs or two or three small dogs, but if your requirements differ, please do just ask us as the only limits are the size of the cottage and what you and your dogs will be comfortable with. It is worth pointing out that Hay on Wye is a wonderfully dog friendly little town with plenty of choices for your dogs to joint you eating, drinking and browsing.

Guest access
The cottage is yours to relax in and enjoy your break.

The cottage enjoys a beautifully quiet and private fenced garden at the rear. This little sun trap of a garden provides you with a bistro table and comfortable chairs with a parasol and a BBQ. It is exclusively for guests but accessed via a very short communal path (shared by two other holiday cottages).

Other things to note
PLEASE ENSURE you are comfortable with the description of the steep & narrow and stairs and steps before you book!

All bedding and towels are provided. However if you prefer to bring your own please let us know in plenty of time before your stay and we do ask that if your dog(s) like a cuddle in bed in the morning you bring your own bedding. Any muddy paw marks or extra cleaning of the cottage bedding WILL be charged for.

We do ask guests to provide us with full contact details of the lead guest and names of all parties for our records, this is a legal requirement for us to gather and hold. If you are not comfortable with this please enquire further BEFORE booking.

There is no parking at the cottage but there is parking within 150 meters. It is possible to stop outside the cottage to unload.

Lastly please note; as stated previously the cottage is situated WITHIN the market town of Hay on Wye, this means you will hear traffic noise, if you require a rural cottage with total peace and quiet do have a look at our other cottage Forest Mill Cottage in Craswall just 7 miles away!

Explore the fascinating Welsh town of Hay-on-Wye from this sumptuous, contemporary cottage on its outskirts. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom hideaway enjoys an exceptional position just 500 metres from the vibrant centre, with its bookstores, independent shops and cafes. Ideal for couples and families, the three-storey property also makes a great base for exploring Bannau Brycheiniog, also known as the Brecon Beacons.

The space
Step into the hall to slide off your walking wear and wander on through to the lounge. Open the glass doors to the garden so everyone can spill out into the sunshine. Spend winter evenings playing games together or watching the Smart TV from the comfort of the soft sofas. Spread out into the bright kitchen/diner too to make fresh coffee in the machine, pull a bottle of chilled wine from the fridge or start preparing the next meal for your family or friends to sit down at the table. There is also a WC downstairs. Your lovely bedrooms and bathrooms are arranged over the top two floors of the house. A double bedroom, with an en-suite shower room, and a twin with beds that can also be set up as a king-size if discussed in advance, are on the first floor, together with a family bathroom. A king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, dressing room and study area, can be found on the floor above. Choose between two seating areas out in the garden, depending on whether you want sunshine or shade. Cook on the BBQ, play giant Jenga with the children and rinse muddy paws and bikes under the hose.

Walk just under 0.5 miles to hire canoes and paddle out along the River Wye. Pick up the long-distance Offa’s Dyke Path and stride off in either direction.
