Our third stay at this warm, welcoming, well-appointed and well-kept cottage, one of the nicest we have stayed in. It is right in the centre of Hay, within 5 minutes of the bookshops etc, but also quiet and private.

Lovely cottage right in the centre of the town. Superbly equipped and we have stayed in quite a lot! Parking on the drive was such a bonus in this town as iy gets really busy as there is limited parking. Beds comfortable, kitchen well equipped having the benefit of a large fridge freezer in the rear lobby, unfornutately we didn't get a chance to siRead moret in the lovely garden as it was too wet for us. The other point is how quiet the cottage was- not a sound from anywhere-a real delight. Hide

This is a good size family cottage which is handy if you want to pop into the town to visit the sites or just grab a coffee in the many great cafes. The dedicated parking is a big bonus. The cottage is one of the best equipped we have stay it in our many years of New Year week breaks. A loo on each floor was very handy. There is a secret garden areRead morea to the side of the cottage which would be a great space to relax in or for the kids to play safely in the warmer months. Highly recommend! Hide

Ty Mawr was warm, comfortable, well-appointed and very clean. It is in a great location close to the centre of Hay-on-Wye, within 5 minutes stroll of the bookshops. Charlotte was hugely helpful at all times. This was our second stay and we appreciated it greatly.
