“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.
