Secluded cottage overlooking Hay-on-Wye

A traditional Welsh long-house located just above the famous Festival book town of Hay on Wye with breath-taking views across three counties.

The property is surrounded by fields and woodland and within easy walking distance of the Hay Festival Site (c10 mins) and the famous book town of Hay-on-Wye (c15 mins) with its many country pubs and independent shops. In the other direction, it is also quite possible to walk up across farmland and quiet lanes to reach Hay Bluff and the Black Mountains. The cottage fronts onto Hay Common bringing with it an enormous amount of walkable, explorable, just-sit-down-on-able hillside with breath-taking views.

Two log burning stoves (as well as oil central heating) heat the property. Fresh spring water is drawn from the 60 foot brick lined well - don`t worry this is all automated and treated before it comes out of the taps - and there is a fully appointed modern kitchen complete with beautiful Welsh slate worktops.

Three bedrooms accommodate two double beds and one single in a traditional Welsh long-house style. The property is a comfortable, fully appointed family home as opposed to a regular holiday rental and we have end-to-end fibre installed to the premises, meaning we have one of the fastest, most reliable internet connections in the UK today.

About the location

More than thirty bookstores, many specialising in out of print or hard to locate titles, lure literary lovers to this market town known as the Town of Books. Snugly nestled in the Wye Valley below Hay Bluff and the Black Mountains, Hay has a castle, a bustling Thursday market and a plethora of good pubs, as well as the beautiful River Wye - the fifth longest river in the UK and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is possible to walk from the town centre to The Warren, which has a modest pebble beach and picturesque swimming spot.
