“This is a spacious, comfortable apartment in a beautiful place, ideal for walking.”

We found Kittiwake's Walks around Hay-on-Wye was a helpful guide to walks, and the Information Shop opposite the Car Park in Hay very helpful.. The one thing I would change is the bed - beds with footboards don't work for tall people like me (6' 2")!

Miss Baynton August 2020

“Stargazer’s Loft is a very comfortable and well equipped cottage.”

It is quiet and surrounded by fields and open countryside. The owner made us very welcome and provided lots of information about local walks and local pubs and restaurants. The cottage is very convenient for Hay-on-Wye, and for both the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons.

Miss Hayes July 2020

“Very nice accommodation and in a very good location.”

Very clean and well equipped cottage. Me and my brother thoroughly enjoyed our stay and everything exceeded our expectations. Lovely walks and countryside around the cottage. We would definitely look to book again! Sandra was a lovely host and made us feel very comfortable and welcome throughout our stay.

Mr Cooper October 2019

“Lovely spot for touring the local area, milk and cake in the apartment on arrival, friendly owners on site.”

Took the local bus to Hereford, stops right outside, also found two good farm shops with restaurants and lots of other goodies, one was Oakchurch, the other The Railway Line, there are leaflets in the apartment for both with directions etc. Hay on Wye is a lovely town with a variety of shops and cafes.

- Mr Cooper, October 2019

Mr Green June 2018

).

- Mr Green, June 2018
Mr Tierney June 2017

“The owners were lovely, when we arrived we were greeted by fresh flowers and cake!”

Mrs Hadley April 2017

“Lovely peaceful cottage.”

Lounge much bigger than expected. Bathroom lovely and modern. Bedroom large and comfortable. Kitchen area had everything you needed and lovely Eccles cakes plus jug of milk on arrival. Beautiful vases of flowers in lounge and bedroom was a thoughtful touch. Plenty of room for hanging clothes and small walk in wardrobe handy to store shoes and bags etc. Lovely views overlooking the countryside and in the warmer weather chairs and tables outside. A car would be recommended as nearest town of hay on Wye was about 3 miles away and 2 pubs within 2 and 3 miles. Plenty of walks and cycling paths from Brecon to do. All in all a lovely few days in Wales.

- Mrs Hadley, April 2017
Mrs Shaw September 2016

The loft was perfect, really well kitted out and couldn't have been in a more beautiful location. A walkers paradise. Thank you

- Mrs Shaw, September 2016
Mrs Smith July 2016

“The proprietors made us very welcome and although living next door and always happy to answer our queries, afforded us our privacy.”

Their local knowledge was very good for our favourite pastimes of walking and eating out. Would definitely recommend this property to friends.

- Mrs Smith, July 2016
Ms Jenkins November 2015

“Liked the accommodation and the area.”

The apartment was great - full of character and very comfortable and cosy. The kitchen was sufficiently equipped and the bed was very comfortable. Was there during November and it was lovely and warm, and we could control the heating also which was very useful. The owners were great, friendly but respectful of your privacy. The WiFi was very useful. It was easy to get to loads of places and there was a bus stop right outside for those not wishing to use the car.

- Ms Jenkins, November 2015

“A great little hideaway with everything you need for a relaxing”

Small, but perfectly formed, Stargazer's Loft is well equipped and nicely furnished, with a very comfy bed. A generous welcome-pack was an unexpected bonus and kick-started what turned out to be a marvellous week's stay.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, December 2012
Angela October 2012

“Excellent accommodation, spectacular countryside!”

Had a wonderful holiday, very high quality accommodation - felt like staying in a luxury hotel! Spectacular countryside around, and loved the unspoilt feel of Hay on Wye, nice to visit a town without a Costa Coffeee or Starbucks in sight! Really friendly and helpful owners who tolerated a 4 year old straying into their 'private living areas' and lovely friendly animals around, particularly the lovely sausage dog.

- Angela, October 2012
Mrs Webster September 2012

“Apart from the beautiful countryside and the quietness, the cosy accommodation and a very comfy bed.”

The owners and their animals were delightful.

- Mrs Webster, September 2012
Miss Milne August 2012

“Very high standard accommodation, well equipped, very clean, felt like a hotel rather than a rental property!”

Beautiful location, really nice and helpful owners.
