Hotels aren’t really our thing…
 And that’s exactly the point.

Treehouses • boats • cabins • huts • campervans • beautifully unusual homes

Which would you choose?

New to our ‘Things to Do’ directory…

The new HUNTA Hay-on-Wye History Hunt, created by the lovely Sarah at Sarah Price Hiking, turns a wander around town into a treasure hunt, following clues and discovering a little more about Hay along the way.

It’s a fun way to explore the town whether you’re visiting for the first time, staying for a few days or even think you know Hay pretty well already!

Solve the clues…Explore the town…Discover some of Hay’s history…See if you can complete the hunt!

You can now find the Hay-on-Wye History Hunt listed in our Things to Do directory.

We can’t wait to give this one a try ourselves… just as soon as the rain stops!

Who says getaways have to wait for the weekend?

Sometimes a couple of nights away midweek is exactly what you need…

A slow morning, coffee in Hay, a wander around the bookshops, a long lunch… then back to your accommodation to switch off for the evening.

Fewer crowds, a slower pace and no waiting until Friday to escape.

If you’ve got the flexibility, why not make the most of it?

We’ve got plenty of lovely places offering midweek and short breaks across Hay-on-Wye, the Wye Valley and Mid Wales.

Tuesday might just be the new Friday…

Had such a lovely day at Hay’s Saturday Market yesterday…

The sun came out, the town was busy and there was such a nice atmosphere - plenty of stalls to browse, good food and some great singing from the Talgarth Male Voice Choir.

If you haven’t made it to one of the Saturday Markets this year, there’s one more chance before the end of the season, Saturday 3rd October.

And it’s a particularly good weekend to plan a visit, as 🍄 is also taking place from 2nd-4th October.

Market stalls, independent shops, great food, bookshops and a whole weekend of fungi-themed events… definitely worth putting in the diary!

🍄 Fungi Town 2nn-4th October

And if you fancy making a weekend of it, you’ll find plenty of lovely places to stay through Where the Wye Wanders - link in our bio…

Just when we thought autumn was creeping in… the sunshine is reminding us it’s not quite ready to disappear yet!

September really can give us some of the loveliest days.

Cooler mornings, quieter places, a hint of autumn in the air… but still plenty of opportunities to sit and soak up a little sunshine.

And when the view looks like this at The Lake House, we’re definitely not rushing summer out of the door just yet.

Here’s hoping for a little bit more sunshine…

And if it’s making you fancy a little September escape, you know where to find us…

The kids have just gone back to school… so naturally, we’re already thinking about half term!

If you’re hoping to get away for a few days this October, now’s a good time to start making plans.

We’ve got some lovely family-friendly stays with October half-term availability, from countryside cottages and cabins to larger houses with plenty of space for everyone and lots where the dog can come along too. 🐾

Whether you fancy a few days exploring Hay-on-Wye, getting out into the hills, heading off on an autumn adventure or simply having some proper family time away from home, there’s plenty to choose from.

October half term will be here before we know it…

Have a look at what’s available and find somewhere for your family escape.

I called into The Old Black Lion for lunch last Saturday and had a lovely sunny lunch out in the garden and it’s definitely one to add to your list when you’re next in Hay-on-Wye.

Tucked away at the bottom of Bear Street, The Old Black Lion is well worth seeking out when you’re in town.

The kitchen makes the most of seasonal ingredients, locally sourced wherever possible, with different menus to suit everything from a relaxed lunch to an evening meal.

🍴 Lunch menu 🥘 Daily specials 🍷 Evening à la carte menu 🍽️ Sunday menu

Whether you’re stopping for lunch after a busy morning exploring, looking for an easy supper or fancy making an evening of it, there’s something for every occasion.

And with The Old Black Lion open 7 days a week, there’s plenty of opportunity to pop in during your stay.
