6 of us, and 1 dog, stayed at the old mill for our yearly friends get together. We had a fabulous time, the facilities suited our needs and was perfectly situated for walkers of all levels, as well as being an easy picturesque walk to the town centre for shopping, eating and drinking - so no concerns about having to drive. Compared to other dog friRead moreendly places, we have stayed, there was not a plethora of do's and don'ts which added to us being able to relax and enjoy our stay. Hide

A perfect little cottage for our family stay. Very traditional and characterful but beautifully decorated and clean. Walking distance to Hay but also lots of countryside walks from the doorstep. So many waterfalls. Wish we had a longer stay so may well book again. Very friendly owners on the Mill House next door.

Lovely cosy home with a lot of character. EXACTLY the right walking distance from Hay, along a nice easy part of Offa's Dyke path. You might need to light the lounge fire at this time of year.

We had a truly wonderful stay here over the Christmas period, the cottage was more than we hoped. It was well equipped, clean and spacious. The bedrooms were lovely and large with extremely comfortable beds and pillows, its was warm and cosy and we all slept amazingly well. We loved the Rayburn and it cooked our Christmas lunch to perfection. The cRead moreottage was perfect for our mixed party and dogs but the lounge was a bit 'snug' when we all wanted to sit in there in the evening. Would return!! Hide

Very comfortable and relaxed cottage. Great to use a range and the weather was cold enough to snuggle down in front of the lovely wood burners. Loads of walks to access. And the views if you take the drive down Forest Road from Hay on Wye Wow!
