"Would really recommend this is our second stay here and will definitely return"

9.0

I had the nicest kipper I’ve ever had for breakfast. Also had dinner which was lovely and good value

Unfortunately one of the radiators in the bedroom couldn’t be switched off and the room was very hot

"I needed a place to stay at Hay and this ticked that box, would try somewhere else next time"

5.0

Great location for everything Hay on Wye and surrounding Had a good shower and hot towel drying rack Had off-road parking (which is difficult to find in this small town) (but note, it's a small car park)

Parking was difficult (campervan) The room wasn't what I expected for the price, media was limited, no password on wifi (security issue). Breakfast was very MOR again for the price. Maybe this area is just expensive in general.
