Court House, a property with a garden, is located in Hay-on-Wye, 18 km from Longtown Castle, 25 km from Brecon Cathedral, as well as 33 km from Hereford Cathedral.

Excellent location, near the centre of Hay-on-Wye, but still quiet and peaceful. The cottage was spacious, well maintained and meticulously clean. It had everything we could possibly need and we all found it very comfortable. The best place we have stayed in Hay yet (out of 6 different accomodations). I would highly recommend this accomodation, it is great value for money.

With a view of the Herefordshire hills, each of the stylish rooms include a TV and a seating area. Featuring a bath, the private bathrooms also have free toiletries. Extras include an outdoor seating area and ironing facilities.

Everything!!! From a very warm welcome from the owners, who upgraded our stay before we had even arrived, to the superb breakfast. The building was warm and inviting, the room beautifully clean and cosy. The slightly sloping floor added some jollity to the stay. The open fire in the bar was lovely and added to the cosy atmosphere. The bar was busy with locals who were enjoying having a well stocked and friendly pub nearby. We will definitely be going back at the earliest opportunity.

Surrounded by beautiful scenery but just a few minutes' walk from Hay-On-Wye's centre, this charming inn has a traditional wooden-beamed bar. Dating back hundreds of years, Oliver Cromwell is rumoured to have stayed in the 17th century.

We loved the themed décor with every nook and cranny filled with interesting items. So much wood! There was parking in the lot, an elevator, a spring fed hot tub. There was a pool in the adjoining hotel for our use, but we stuck with the hot tub. Dinner (additional cost) was great with themed food available and roving singers. Breakfast (included) was served in a lovely room and was plentiful even though we are gluten free.

Stargazer’s Loft was the perfect spot to rest up after a full days work at Hay Festival. The loft was clean and tidy and I was kindly provided with more sheets and towels part way through my stay. The host was very welcoming and I would definitely return again.

    Quaint, rather than modern. Better for being so though. Delightful sunny garden. Very easy central location and good on site parking with overflow next door.

    + breakfast selection and quality excellent. Very central location. Good off street parking - a bit tired and probably cold in winter....walls without insulation. Can get a bit noisy so ensure all windows fully closed is in a room at the front of the building.
