Cariad Cottage Reviews

Teresa

The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. We didnt expect any outside space but there was a small passageway which was useful to just let our dog outside. The cottage was ideal for walking to pubs and the shops so we really enjoyed our short break. I did find the shower tricky to get into as the bath was quite high so anyone with mobility issues would struggle. However the photos do show this!

Angela

Lovely cottage and great central location in village. Spacious and very comfortable.

This is a beautiful, deceptively spacious, cottage in the heart of Hay on Wye. It has everything you need for a fabulous stay. The cottage was immaculately clean and the beds very comfortable. Two points parking on the, very narrow, road is limited to 6.00pm 8.00am. We would advise dropping everything off and parking at Oxford Road 3 minutes walk away and from 6.00pm its 5 for 24 hours. Also outside space is limited to a shared pathway at the side of the house dont go searching for a garden otherwise you will do as we did and end up in the, very friendly, neighbours. The cottage is highly recommended and we will be rebooking. Also the Black Lion at the bottom of the street has excellent food and, like most places in Hay, is very dog friendly.

Stephen

Lovely cottage great location, great shower, good communication with owner. All in all fab 5 days.
