Rhydspence, hotel in Hay-on-Wye

A 14th century country house located on the Welsh border of the Wye Valley, the Rhydspence is a former drovers inn surrounded by the countryside views.

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.

The Old Black Lion, hotel in Hay-on-Wye

Surrounded by beautiful scenery but just a few minutes' walk from Hay-On-Wye's center, this charming inn has a traditional wooden-beamed bar.

The inn has character, comfort, hospitality, and amazing food. The staff is friendly, the rooms very comfortable, and did I mention the amazing food? We were a party of 7, with 2 kids, and even with appetizers, mains, and deserts, we only averaged £25 per person for AMAZING food. Highly recommended.

    A lovely little town.

    A lovely little town. Obviously you will most likely be going for the bookshops. There are also other interesting shops, and on one of the days we visited - Thursday - a market. Lovely countryside around too

    Beautiful town. A must for all book lovers. Plenty of good quality eateries, providing a range of eating options. Local people are very friendly. We have visited three times in recent years and fully intend to visit again. We would never tire of this place.

    Hay is great , there is always something to do here.

    Hay is great , there is always something to do here. Some lovely antique shops and vintage bizarres. Great coffee shops and restaurants. The Castle has been restored and is a beautiful gift to behold. We love walking along the river to The Warren and having a dip in the cold water. A little gem of a place.

    Hay is a beautiful village with many historic buildings and interesting shops. There are many options for outdoor recreation in the area. One thing to note is that most shops close at 5 PM. My favorite meal was dinner at The Old Black Lion. Every meal I had in Hay was excellent. Please note if you are using the bus to get from the train station at Hereford to check the bus schedule yourself since Google Maps pulled from the wrong table. There is a lovely walking path along the River Wye with amazing views of the river.

    A wonderful place to visit!

    A wonderful place to visit! Quirky shops, vast array of book & antique shops and a lovely market. Coffee shops we’ve visited have all been excellent. My husband and I regularly visit for a night or two. We dine at the Blue Boar and occasionally the Indian restaurant- both superb! Lovely walks, and a ambience of calmness & fresh air entices us back all seasons. My daughter and I have also camped nearby- that’s was fabulous too!

    pretentious!

    pretentious! Only one overpriced pub which did food I liked.. the food cost telephone numbers A lot of visitors looked they had just come out of a 1960's folk festival Er, since the advent of Amazon do we really need bookshops?

    Perfect in every way, tucked away in a peaceful spot with a lovely south facing outdoor space and stream at the bottom of the garden (separated by a fence).The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped with lovely touches such as cut flowers, welcome goodies and a very helpful visitor guide. An easy stroll into Hay with all its amenities. A great weekend with weather to match. We look forward to returning !

    We had an excellent stay. The cellar apartment was spacious and comfortable - a relaxing place to unwind. We were made to feel very welcome. The car park was only a short stroll away, and a very pleasant one by the river. A few minutes further along the path is the Warren, a wide open space in rolling countryside. Hay is a lovely place and we would love to return - and, of course, stay at The Bridge Hay.

    Irene and Barry were extremely welcoming and we were greated with some freshly made muffins and all we needed to make ourselves a lovely breakfast in the morning. The hut is suprisingly spacious and has all the modern comforts. It is just a short drive down to Hay-on-Wye and about 40 minutes from Hereford. We came for a weekend but would have happily stayed for a week. Highly recommended.

    Perfect for what myself and my sister were wanting; a place to relax after sightseeing and being on the road travelling for several days. Little touches like a hot water bottle I really enjoyed not because it was cold but soothing to an aching back. We’d been staying in a range of accommodation from five star hotels to little b&bs and the breakfast at the Smithy by far the best.

    We stayed for a weekend and liked the location best in the centre of Hay. It was a quirky ancient building and cool which was lovely in the summer heat and there was plenty of space in the bedroom and adjoining lounge, though the lighting there was poor. There was no breakfast only tea and coffee supplied.

    The location is beautiful, with stunning views, the accommodation is superb and the hosts could not have been kinder or more accommodating. The breakfasts were outstanding and small luxuries (baskets of fruit, home made cakes) made our stay really special - all 7 days :-)

    The property was in a great location, was very spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The croissants, jam, biscuits & fruit were a nice surprise. It was great to have a nice living area to relax in, instead of being crammed into a small hotel room.

    The hotel was well located in the town of Hay on Wye - it was a short walk to the centre. The breakfast was served in a lovely room, with nice decor. The hotel has a lovely old feel to it. There was an attractive garden for drinks outside.
