"The luxury with the pool room is that it has direct access to the pool, and whereas normal guests can only use the pool from 9am, users of the pool room get private use from 8am which is another lovely bonus!"

“Its central position in Hay-on-Wye makes it a convenient base, complemented by a surprisingly good breakfast selection and a welcoming atmosphere, complete with a resident dog.
