    Sally and John were very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Room had a lovely super-king bed and the view across the garden to the mountains was beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. Great location for walking into Hay itself and accessing all the lovely walks in the surrounding countryside. Would definitely recommend.

    I can't think of any complaints.

    When we first got there, I was very surprised. It's basically a residence, and they let out rooms, not like other B&Bs I've been to. But the owners are so lovely and welcoming, and really wanted us to be comfortable. The room we stayed in was very comfortable and clean, and the town is wonderful. Would 100% stay there again.

    Honestly, nothing really comes to mind. If forced, maybe the TV in the room could have been a little bigger.

    Perfect central location to explore Hay on Wye. The room was impeccably clean with a super comfy bed. Delicious breakfast, lots of choice and perfectly cooked. The owners are charming and you even get a special welcome from one of the dogs!

    My wife and I could not rely upon the quality of the Wi-Fi Service in the room.

    The breakfast choice and hospitality was excellent, served in quiet, pleasant surroundings. My wife and I were invited to make our choices the night before and leave them in the entrance hall. Our room was very comfortable and enabled us to dress for a function locally. The parking outside the property was secure. My wife and I enjoyed evening meals at the nearby Swan Hotel and shopping for necessaries was close at hand. We should like to return to 'The Firs' again.

    The Firs B&B in Hay is fantastic. It is centrally located and quiet. Sally and John are great and friendly people. I loved being welcomed and escorted to the door by Jasper the dog. Sally's cooking is outstanding - every breakfast and her homemade jam - were delicious. They also give great advice on walks, restaurants, and things to do. The bookstores are wonderful. It was a great stay and I was sad to leave.

    It was my first stay in a Bed & Breakfast so I have nothing to compare it to. This will be my benchmark going forward!

    The location was very central to the village centre. The single room was exceptionally clean (I have travelled with antibacterial wipes long before COVID and am very conscious of dust and dirt). Sally was an exceptional hostess and the breakfast was delicious. Who could ask for more when homemade jam appears on your plate completely unprompted!

    Perfect location and car parking availability . Sally was a delightful host who welcomed us warmly after a long drive with a cup of tea and shortbread . She was happy to sit and chat - to tell us about places to visit in the area , suggested suitable places for dinner on our 2 nights stay and also assisted us in booking accommodation for the 3 rd night that we planned to be in Wales . Breakfast was delicious and served in a lovely sunny dining area.
