Our family really enjoyed our recent stay at Hay House. We loved the central (but quiet) location. Only a few minutes walk into town, down to the River or even closer to get supplies from the Co-Op. The house is well kept and had plenty of room for 2 adults, 2 children and 1 dog. Everything was in working order and clean.

A smart, almost brand-new house on a small estate that was extremely well equipped. It was well presented, clean and with loads of 'stuff'. It is well-placed on the outskirts of town but only 10 minutes away, whilst a river-walk affords a good route away from traffic if you have dogs. Hay has restaurants, bars and coffee shops and the ample Co-op iRead mores just across the road. Downsides were that the heating is controlled by the owner, 100 miles away and garden needs dog-security improving. Hide
