Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Hay-on-Wye

This is my third time visiting Badgers Bothy and we've made it 4 for next year! It is a little peace of heaven, set in the most gorgeous setting. If you are looking for a place to relax, unwind and forget about things for a few days then Joe's place is perfect for this. It's beautifully decorated, beautifully clean and feels like a second home from the second you walk through the door. The wildlife is an additional bonus - sat in the living room watching a Muntjac walk past was just the cherry on the top. Thanks Joe for another lovely visit, we are very much looking forward to coming back next year x

It was a lovely place to stay. My dawg enjoyed people watching especially the ones walking their dawgs. Everything you needed plus a downstairs loo which I didn't know about.

Fantastic hosts , really helpful and responsive . Lots of information about the local area and things to do. House was very clean and comfortable, with everything you needed , beds and beddings was really cosy and we slept so well , we didn’t actually want to leave and stayed longer than originally booked. The views and local walks were beautiful too . The local pub was nice although we only had a drink there. Kitchen facilities were so good we cooked most the time. Highly recommend

This property is just fantastic. I can honestly say the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in. Location was tranquil and peaceful. House is spotless, every room was extremely clean. Great powerful shower. The property is a good size. We were only 3 people and was very spacious for us. Has its own private parking. Kitchen was lovely, and a great little garden, with beautiful views. We felt relaxed and chilled here. There is not a lot in the little village, there is a pub, but we knew that when booking and that's what sold it for us. We don't like busy towns, we wanted quiet. It is a great base to get about though. Not far from Hereford, and right on the Welsh border. Just down the road is Arthur's Stone which was really interesting to visit. We drove into Hay-on-Wye one evening, its about 15 mins down the road, lots of restaurants and fish shop. The Brecon Beacons were only an hour away. We also visited Puzzlewood, which is in the Forest of Dean, about an hour in the other direction.

A very peaceful location, friendly hosts and an adorable dog called Dotty! Spacious, clean and comfortable accommodation, just 10 miles from Hay-on-Wye so the perfect place to stay.

We were so lucky to stay in this beautiful cottage for our honeymoon and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome — Ellie was incredibly friendly and thoughtful, leaving us lovely cakes to enjoy on arrival. The cottage (and its surroundings) is full of charm and just as whimsical as the pictures suggest. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy quality time together. We also enjoyed the easy drives into Ludlow, Leominster, Tenbury Wells and local walks. We can’t thank Ellie enough for creating such a beautiful, memorable experience — we’ll definitely be back one day!

Really really loved our stay here! Such a beautiful place, with stunning views! Place was equipped with everything and more, we felt so cosy as soon as we arrived. Lovely picnic bench where we spent most of our time enjoying the views and the friendly cat was an added bonus. Thank you so much for a gorgeous stay and would definitely come back!

Sarah’s place is very unique - a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the spectacular countryside yet only 20 mins drive from Hay-on-Wye. The cottage was charming, lovely bed linen and super comfy beds. A great place to relax in the evening with a very well equipped kitchen and stylish lounge. I would highly recommend this place - it has a wonderful soothing quality. Sarah is truly a “super host” with lots of good advice and knowledge of the area. We will definitely be back!

Helen's flat is very spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished and the kitchen table has a stunning view over Hereford (many games of cribbage played with glasses of wine!). The kitchen has everything needed to produce a meal and Helen kindly left milk, breakfast goods etc in the fridge. The bed was very comfortable, with extra linen if you needed. The HUGE shower was a real luxury. The relaxing spacious sitting room has a woodburner stove if needed (sadly we could not justify lighting it in June 😆). This is a perfect base for travelling around the beautiful surrounding areas, or to just chill out and relax (WiFi very good). 10/10 🤗

What a lovely apartment. Spotlessly clean, well furnished and it is no wonder as the owners have an interior design company. A visit to the shop in the main house is worth a visit. We stayed in this building many years ago when it was a hotel. What a huge transformation and definitely for the better. Great location for visiting all the sites in the forest. Highly recommend and will be definitely be staying again.

A rejuvenating place that felt like staying in someone's warm (not just in temperature) and characterful home. We enjoyed feeling relaxed here from the moment we arrived. The surrounding fields and orchard with a river running through it was idyllic day and night. I was rewarded for being awake by the sounds of tawny owls calling back and forth. Thanks Jim and Sally for the little touches and thoughtful hosting.

Absolutely idyllic space. Views superb. Access to double bed is a ladder so might not suit everyone. We loved it.

We really enjoyed staying in this charming former dairy cottage. The views are simply breathtaking and the ground floor apartment was very comfortable. We loved having our breakfast on the little terrace and a lie on the grass at the end of the day was very relaxing. The bed was comfortable and the shower was powerful. Attractive furnishings g made for an uplifting stay. Liz made us feel very welcome. Crickhowell a short drive away is delightful and we particularly enjoyed our lunch at The Bear. We hope to return.

We had a wonderful stay and Gwen and John's place. They were both very welcoming and everything was so comfortable. It was great to have the alpacas at the bottom of the beautiful gardens. The welcome pack was fantastic with home made jam and a loaf of bread. The location is fantatic within easy reach of the Shropshire hills and some lovely market towns such as Ludlow, Much Wenlock and Bridgenorth. Definitely looking at booking again.

Completely self contained flat with lots of character. Well away from any road noise and beautiful view. Well appointed facilities - lots of power points and fast wifi. Thoughtful provisions to greet us. Only drawback (not the fault of our host) was poor phone signal in the flat, but slightly better in the car park. A happy stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous and cosy Airbnb. The host was very friendly and responsive, and went out of her way to recommend some fab local spots for us. The beauty surrounding the home is stunning, and there are gorgeous walks to be had. Thanks for a wonderful stay — we will be back :)

The Cow Shed is in the most beautiful location off the beaten track, yet only 10 mins from the main road. Lovely views onto the hills and common land and all you can hear are the birds and the sheep. Perfect location for exploring the Malvern Hills with plenty to do on the doorstep and several good places to eat. Equally you can walk from the door too. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed for 4/5 days. It is in the grounds of Nigel's house but we were private and had our own space; we especially enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine having a coffee. Highly recommend...

Such a lovely stay at Lakeside Lodge, the surroundings were beautiful and our host Andrew went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home. Stunning lake one side of the lodge and stunning views of the hilly countryside the other (both visible from the view in the hot tub) really could not have asked for anything more for a chilled girls trip. Could have stayed there forever!

This clever barn conversion is quite thoughtfully designed and very comfortable inside and out. The professional level of decoration found a wonderful balance of beauty and homeyness; everything was lovely in the most welcoming way. There was lots of space for our family to spread out, and the beds and linens were excellent. As lovely as the house is, the best part by far is the view. It was absolutely stunning, rain or shine! We found ourselves drawn outside at all hours of the day to enjoy the sights and sounds around us. Just as described, there were places in the house where the wifi was spotty, and the track up through the neighboring farm to the house might be a challenge for some cars. As we had read about the property, we were not surprised and spent an absolutely wonderful week there! There were plenty of restaurants and grocery stores 10-15 minutes away in Abergavenny when we could tear ourselves away from this slice of paradise.

We had a lovely Christmas and New Years' at Katie's beautiful property - it was perfect for our family of 8 adults and 3 children under 2. The property itself is very clean and maintained well. It was also very beautifully decorated for Christmas - which was really appreciated and added to the festive spirit! Katie was always very helpful and responsive and gave us lots of recommendations for things to do locally generally and with the children. We had a fabulous time!
