"A gem in Hay in Wye!"

10.0

The staff was exceptional. James was delightful, as was everyone we interacted with. No request was too big, and they always went out of their way to meet any and all request. The restaurant was top of the line! The chef prepared our Hereford steaks perfectly. The beds were comfortable. (Kudos for a working towel warmer) The location was walkable to everything in town. Truly wonderful experience.

We loved everything

The dining experience for both breakfast and dinner were amazing.

If you don’t like the old-building atmosphere this place isn’t for you.
