The Hay House Retreat

Consisting of a beautiful 17th-century farmhouse and impressive detached stable block, this unique property is set in 5 acres of cottage style landscaped grounds. Sleeping 19 adults and 5 children over 9 bedrooms and welcoming six canine companions, it’s the perfect place to get everyone you love together for a special celebration or long-overdue party. Roam free on the long country walks through the Golden Valley; host a BBQ to remember for all of your guests, relax in the large outdoor seating area; and at the end of the day, pour yourself a glass of wine and soak up the far-reaching views across the Wye Valley. Step inside the farmhouse and you’ll immediately realise that this property is perfect for any celebration. Catch up on all the gossip in the comfy sofas in the main living room; get dressed up and sip a pre-dinner cocktail in the formal living room; host a dinner party to remember in the impressive dining room; or step outside and share precious moments with your loved ones around the fire pit or BBQ. The kids will disappear into the children’s play area and the undercover games’ room in the barn, so if you find yourself with a little me-time, take a dip in the wood-fired hot tub. At the end of the day, there are four chic bedrooms in the farmhouse and five bedrooms in the converted stable block to choose from. Spend a relaxing afternoon browsing the boutiques, cafes and bookstores of Hay-on-Wye (4 miles). If you’re a foodie in search of local specialities to sample during your trip, you’ll find local charcuterie in Longtown (14.5 miles), farmhouse ice cream in Rowlestone (16 miles) and a craft cider farm in Pontrilas (15 miles).
