    Lovely 2 night stay in Hay

    We had a lovely two night stay at the Seven Stars. We had a comfortable room at the front of the building, which is situated right in the heart of Hay-on-Wye and very handy for the bookshops, pubs, restaurants and cafes. Di gave us a warm and knowledgable welcome, along with her very friendly dog Captain. Big, tasty breakfasts fuelled us for our days out. This B & B was a 16th Century inn and as you would expect this introduces some quirks to the layout and features of the building. And... it has a swimming pool! This is a fantastic feature for such a small establishment. It's fully heated, indoors and a great size for a leisurely swim when the bookshops have lost their lustre. There is secure and free parking on site- it's a tight turn if the traffic is busy, but plenty of spaces once you're through the entryway. Good value and very much recommended.

    The one downside for us was the outside steps leading up to our room....my husband and I are in our seventies and we had to tread very carefully going up and down the wooden steps ....

    We had a warm welcome......a warm clean cosy room.. the bed was super comfy... Breakfast was very good...

    I know it was mentioned that there were new cleaning staff hired so perhaps they are just getting used to it, but the room wasn’t as clean as it maybe could have been. We’re not a fussy couple but we did find lots of dust, hair/crumbs in the bedside drawer and someone’s old receipt next to the bed. We will definitely come back and have nothing but positive feedback but I felt this was important to share :)

    Great location, lovely welcoming staff and you really get a good value for money. Breakfasts are great and we enjoyed our stay. Simple hotel that does what you need it to.

    Nothing to do with the Seven Stars - but I should have researched local taxis before arriving. One other factor - if you have mobility issues then the different levels might be a challenge.

    Location is perfect for all the Hay attractions plus walks along the river which is just around the corner. Fabulous breakfast with a highlight being the black pudding - excellent coffee. We had room 6 which could easily have take an adventurous family as there was a double bed & two singles - up three flights of stairs. Bathroom more than adequate. We arrived by taxi from Hereford for a wedding - so no need to use the parking. But getting a taxi to go to Brilley was a problem - Di & Jes tried valiantly to book one - in the end Di the owner took us to the Church in Brilley ( Thank you so much for such a delightful gesture) But that is Di & her friendly crew - just lovely people looking after their guests.

    Because the room was quite small it would be helpful to have a little extra storage, like coat hooks or more coat hangers etc. Also there was no door mat which meant the floors got wet and dirty really quickly from us coming inside (rainy weekend) - didn't effect our stay at all, just a recommendation to make the room even better

    We had a lovely little room attached to the back of the indoor pool so we were able to get private access which was amazing. The room was small but nice, it was always quite humid in there which was to be expected being attached to the pool! Breakfast was delicious, staff were great and helpful and made a fuss of our pooch. Location in Hay was brilliant, close to everything needed

    The pool was nice but they've been hampered by healthy and safety regs so, through no fault of their own, it is rather restricted to use.

    We had a very friendly welcome. The room was bright and comfy. The location is amazing, right in the middle of town and it was great to be able to park our car at the back. The breakfast was amazing!

    1. Tight space to enter into car park 2. B&B needs updating inside the bedrooms & breakfast area 3. Looks shut from outside so you can't tell if the B&B is open. This needs updating & addressing. 4. Too many things on the breakfast table for small tables. 5. The room we stayed in was very cold, but lucky there was a fan heater. The shower was too small. Could do with a light on the dressing table and bigger TV. The room needs updating. 6. Was disappointed as no Steam or Sauna room anymore, and the swimming pool was a bit cold.

    Location was central added bonus was the car park &swimming pool. But we're put off by the workmen digging outside thr b&b. The space was very tight to get the car in, but managed it. Very secure.Breakfast was very nice. The owner was lovely and informative. A nice basic B&B to stay for central location and very clean. The swimming pool was nice.

    The breakfast could have been earlier - if you want to get some walking in and get back before the shops close breakfast starting at 8 is a little late. The pool could be open earlier/later. It opens at 9 so you can't swim before breakfast.

    The food is very good and the location couldn't be better (complete with parking)

    It would have been useful if breakfast has been served a little earlier which would suit people who visit on business and need to start earlier than others.

    The hotel has an excellent location within the town. The room was clean, well presented and comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic.

    The Pool was not running which was no problem as lots to do in Hay and was only told once booking placed. Though I'm sure if this was an issue for us they would have been very helpful.

    Really great location with easy parking included. Good size, clean room. Good breakfast with lots of choices and relaxed easy check in/ out.
