Our stay in Hay on Wye was perfect, punctuated by our stay here. The space was clean and fun to be in, and best of all, walking distance to all the town shops. Was the highlight of our holiday!!

Great location, parking was great addition. I think that the house is a work in progress- upstairs and front rooms appeared to have been renovated ( although couldn’t turn on hot tap on bathroom sink and main lights in bedroom didn’t light - we were ok using the side lights)Kitchen and lean to in need of updating, and garden needs attention. However I would return as it was clean, comfortable and in great location

Hi Juliet, Thank you for reviewing your stay. A quick message to me while you were still in the house would have allowed me to come over and sort out the lights and the sink, both of which are working correctly when I just checked them.

The house was clean and well presented on arrival. Prior to coming the host answer any questions we had regarding the house, as it was Christmas they had even put a decorated tree in the dining room, a very nice touch. Great location near to town centre and the off street parking is a great help. I would recommend this accommodation, has everything you need for a short stay.

A week at Gipsy Castle Lane

My family and I had a marvellous time at Hay-on-Wye whilst staying at Gipsy Castle Lane. The house was very nice and all we needed was provided for. The interior/design of the house is smashing and the location is perfect.

Lovely stay

A lovely little house in the centre of Hay. Off road parking was a bonus, as was the handy boot room at the rear. There was everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The property is a litle dated in places, but just right for three people walking the Offas D. Path.

Perfect quiet and walkable location

Very comfortable stay with lots of room for 5 people to spread out. Well stocked kitchen. Appreciated the off street parking. Easy check-in and owner is accessible and informative. Best part is the easy walking distance to everything in Hay-On-Wye! We all loved our stay and the village!

A beautiful house

Andy's place is ideal - a short walk from the bookshops and cafes of Hay, as well as from the Warren. There's a little playground nearby for younger children and the street is very quiet. The house is lovely - the rooms are spacious, the furniture beautiful and comfortable, and all the added extras (books, toys) were really thoughtful. A fabulous base for a tri to Hay-On-Wye.

The property is outstanding, both in terms of location, and facilities.

We liked the style of the house a lot. The patio and the walled back garden are very useful and handy. One can park the car just beside it. The house has all you need for a comfortable stay and Andy did not leave one stone unturned, to make it a pleasant stay. In terms of location, you are a few minutes away from the town centre, and a few hundreds of yards away from the river Wye bank.

Central Hay on Wye house

Nice property 5 mins walk from centre of town. Comfortable beds, spotlessly clean. Living room a little dark but back of house has a light kitchen, boot room and spacious dining room.
