This is a lovely quirky little place. The staff were very welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. The room was very olde worlde, clean and comfortable. We had an evening meal there ( delicious) and a drink in the cosy bar, where there were quite a few locals. The breakfast the next day was huge (tho you can request a smaller breakfast).and again was delicious. There was lots of choice. The hotel has a car park. There is also a lovely dog called Horace. There isn't really anything nearby although the town of Hay on Wye is only around 7 mins away by car, has a large car park, loads of bookshops and other little independent shops, and is well worth a visit. We would love to visit the Rhydspence inn again if we are in that area.

Location was excellent breakfast was great lots of choices nothing was too much bother just ask and I’ll be there
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

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?
A wonderful apartment in Hay! From the meeting with the owner for the handover and tour of the apartment to our experience of living in a great apartment in this beautiful and eclectic town, our experience was really special. It was exactly what we needed and felt very comfortable, even having friends over for wine and cheese in the spacious living area. It was a perfect home-away-from home. Looking forward to returning in the future. Will definitely stay here again.
The place was fantastic, made even more fantastic with the greeting of the owner Di and her beautiful dog Captain - the best guest greeter, we loved him! The hotel also has a great swimming pool, which was lovely and nice and warm. Breakfast was great, the food is lovely and high quality. The place is literally in the centre of town, so if you want to shop it’s the best place to stay. Would absolutely book again on our next trip to Hay on Wye!
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.
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.
Lovely, clean room with a lot of space, comfortable bed, and great ensuite facilities. The flat-screen TV was a nice bonus! Very friendly and accommodating staff. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. Very close to the centre of Hay but on a quiet street.
The house was very well designed, had lots of storage space and was really clean. All bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms, which was brilliant. The welcome hamper was...welcome. Location was perfect, right in the town.The electric charging point next to the house was a bonus.
Had a lovely 2 night stay. The B&B is in a fantastic location and the room was very spacious. Breakfast was fantastic and had every need catered to. Really lovely that there were plenty of vegan and vegetarian choices for breakfast. Will definitely be coming back!
Spacious tents, very comfortably fitted out but still felt like camping. Toilet and shower facilities good. Nice communal tent with generous breakfast and hospitable all day tea and coffee. Easy walking distance to cental Hay. Charming and attentive hosts
Location was perfect, amazing view from the room, bed very comfortable, 5 star accommodation, fantastic selection of breakfasts cooked to perfection.. Thank you Chris and Christine for a wonderful stay, wish we were staying longer.
Beautiful building with a fabulous garden, fantastic staff and very close to the centre of Hay-on-Wye. Plenty of storage in the room and really enjoyed that the bathroom had a bath and shower. Sparkling clean all over.
It was really central and close to shops/cafes etc. Great recommendations from host of what to see/where to eat. Really appreciated the parking space and quirkiness of the property.
Location superb in centre of Hay.
Spacious, lovely old fashioned and comfortable apartment.
Has everything you could need.
Would definitely come back here!
