A warm friendly welcome from Martha, Rubén and Seren, to their quirky Grade 2 listed home, set in a rural position with easy access to Hay on Wye, Hereford and the picturesque villages and hamlets of the black and white half timbered houses typical of the area. The accommodation was as described. Warm comfortable bed and room. Granola with fresh fruit and yogurt, freshly squeezed orange juice. Chocolate Croissants, Danish pastries, jam and plain croissants with ham and cheese, fresh coffee, an ample delicious breakfast to sustain you until, late lunch. Tea and coffee facilities in the room, fresh milk offered each evening and biscuits also available. A thouroughly enjoyable stay.

We stayed with Martha & Rueben for a friend's wedding and can only describe the experience as magical. Martha was very accommodating and thought of everything - it really feel like we were staying in a friends house. I was very touched with the extra thought in gluten intolerance and pregnancy. Would recommend to anyone and stay again if we were that way. :)

We had a wonderful stay with Martha and Reuben. Lovely welcoming hosts with lots of advice about the area, a gorgeous comfortable room, and the most delicious breakfast! Above and beyond all expectations. An absolute pleasure to meet such good people, in a beautiful part of the world.

Oh my goodness, what a place! We are very annoyed that we can't give you more than 5 stars, Mick and I had the most wonderful experience staying in your beautiful, interesting, comfortable home. Martha, Reu and their beautiful little Seren (their totally charming, funny, smiley daughter) were the perfect hosts who made us feel very welcome and spoiled us rotten. A cheeky sauv blanc - my favourite - was an added treat. The breakfast was out of this world, delivered to our room with a bright 'good morning' and smiles. Wonderful people with real flair in a stunning location - there is so much of interest to look at in this very special home. The lovely added touch of wild flowers and a specially found 4 leaf clover did not go unnoticed. We left feeling that we have made new friends and this is lovely.

What a find! We had a lovely stay at The Plough. Despite booking last minute, Martha and Reuben were really welcoming and the perfect hosts. The setting is idillic and the room welcoming, clean, comfortable and full of character. The communication from the time we booked was clear and really helpful. We arrived late, after a gig in Hay Festival and Reuben and his brother-in-law kindly waited outside for us to make sure we found our way. Martha left a lovely basket of toys for our daughter to play with (which she loved!). The continental breakfast was delicious and included fresh orange juice, coffee, ham and cheese croissant, pastries, fruit and granola, all beautifully served. We would definitely recommend that you stay here, it's fab! Thank you Martha and Reuben. x x

It was a awesome staying. The hosts is a couple, they were lovely and too kind, the house was more than 400 years, it is very beautiful, my wife and I like it very much. They prepare us a fantastic breakfast, make us so moving. This is the best staying for us. Strongly suggest you to feel it.

Martha is a modest but enthusiastic hostess. My stay was good and the room was nice and spacious. I felt like a family friend in their home. a place to recommend.

Marthas place is an absolute delight to stay in. Martha & her family made us feel very welcome, recommending various places to eat & visit. Should we be passing this way, we would certainly stay again.

Lovely place, wonderful people, fantastic walks and views, adorable dogs! Very much recommend.

We had a lovely weekend in Chocolate Cottage, Ian and Christine were perfect hosts, we went to the local pub and found everyone very friendly. We did an 8 mile walk with Milo and the area is ideal for walks. We also visited Hay-on-Wye for the first time, lovely and quirky. Chocolate Cottage had everything we could want, was lovely and warm, everything was like new, we felt spoilt, very good value for money! Recommended.

We l(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)ed the Chocolate House! It was comfy and cosy and clean and lovely and pretty and all things nice. The bed was great and the bedroom is even bigger than it looks in the pics. The location is so peaceful. We want to go back! And we already miss Monty the Irish Setter! Thanks, Ian and Christine!

Just enjoyed a wonderful few days in the 'Chocolate House' We were welcomed by Christine and the adorable Monty and were soon comfortably installed. The cottage was cosy, tasteful and had every item of equipment you could need on a short break. Thanks for a lovely long weekend. Alison and Richard

Ian and his wife made us feel very welcome as did the gorgeously friendly Monty. The space was just what was advertised, so very accurate and very well equipped . It was clean and warm and just what we needed to get away to for a couple of days. We had a couple of lovely meals up at Pandys Inn which is about a 10 min drive and enjoyed a walk into the village In beautiful surroundings . A lovely couple of days

The Slade is set in a beautiful location with really friendly hosts (including Monty), we had a lovely short break.

What a little gem. Lovely, small cosy cabin based on the side of Ian and Christine's home. Although small, the cabin had everything we could ask for including a lovely log burning fire. Out dog loved exploring the fully enclosed garden and the surrounding fields. Christine and Monty were very welcoming. We hope to return and stay a bit longer next time, there's so much of the area we would like to explore.

We had a lovely peaceful and very comfortable stay. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very welcome, without having our privacy compromised. Monty the dog is an exceptionally well natured dog and made ours settle very quickly. They all got on in the garden so well. The location was perfect for us as we explored the black mountains, wye valley and Brecons to which to pictures just don't do it justice. We wouldn't look to stay anywhere else when revisiting this area again. We highly recommend staying here and found it very hard to leave.

Martha and Rue were incredible hosts who went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time ( and we did). The bell tent is beautifully furnished, it was total paradise to stay in. Martha cooked and incredible supper for us and the breakfast was wonderful. Everything about our stay was perfect and we wish we could give more than 5 stars!! We are already planning our return visit

My boyfriend and I stayed in the yurt for one night in mid-April. It was a lovely experience! The yurt is beautiful and decorated with lots of homely touches, and is well equipped with a radiator, log burner, piles of blankets, kettle, and essential toiletries. It was a cold night but the yurt felt very cosy and peaceful! The many candles and lanterns, plus the sky light window that allows star gazing from bed make for a very romantic setting. It's also located very near a charming rural pub (which serves very tasty food) and breakfast was cooked to order and served in the B&B that Glyn & Gisela also run, one minute's walk down the lane. Highly recommended for those looking for a romantic and unusual place to stay.

A fantastic place to go if you want a romantic getaway! A lovely yurt, very comfortable and well equipped with everything you would need. The pub onsite had friendly staff, great food and a welcoming vibe. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & were very comfortable.

Glyn & Gisela are great hosts. They were very helpful and always asked we if needed anything. The breakfast in the morning was fantastic and their pub serves really good food and has a nice atmosphere. The yurt is lush... nice furnishings, very tasteful and has everything you need in it, including woodburner, candles and fairy lights. Toilet and shower is a little walk away and other people were camping on the same site in close proximity to the yurt but it didn't make our experience any less special.

It was a fantastic weekend away in the countryside, and the Yurt was a great venue to stay! On a cold frosty weekend, the Yurt couldn't have been cosier and warm thanks to the log fire! A great find, and quite possibly another booking in the summer is in need!

My partner and I had a wonderful stay in the yurt. Glyn and Gisella were lovely and welcoming when we arrived, making sure we had everything we needed. The yurt is beautifully decorated and has a really comfy bed. It was the perfect setting for doing absolutely nothing - we read and drank tea in the little private seating area and then made our way down to the pub for dinner in the evening. We also loved that Glyn made us breakfast in the inn before we set off home. Thanks for having us and we'll definitely be visiting again!

The yurt was fantastic. Really nicely decorated and very comfortable! There was a mini fridge with milk and water, a kettle, DVDs and a mini player, some cool books and everything you could want in a yurt really! Glyn made us a wonderful breakfast the following morning and even prepared a special dish for my vegetarian girlfriend. Glyn and Gisela were great hosts, I totally recommend them. The only downside to the yurt is that it's on a campsite and you have to share the toilet/shower with everyone else on the campsite, which is fine, but kind of takes away the luxury feel of the yurt.

The yurt and the location were both stunning. The attention to detail and the finishing touches were fantastic. We eat at the pub and enjoyed a fabulous breakfast. Everybody was friendly and Glyn and Gisela were perfect hosts. Our only regret was that we didn't stay for 2 nights!

This is a Yurt, but it's also much more. It's part of the classic- and ancient- English Pub tradition, and a bucolic English countryside with cows and sheep all around you. The pub, well known and liked in the county, is only a short walk from the Yurt, but it's far enough away that you don't feel obligated to it. Glyn and Gisela are very friendly and greet you with a warm and welcoming smile, as does their pub and Yurt. Highly recommended.

A really love relaxing place to spend a weekend. There a great pub a brisk walk away. The accommodation is nice and it's brilliantly located for exploring the beacons, canoeing the Wye river or shopping in Hay-on-Wye.

We had a great stay in Holt Stable over the Easter weekend. The Stable was very comfortable and had everything we needed. A great base to explore Herefordshire and the Breacon Beacons.

We had a lovely stay at Holt stable, we were impressed with how spacious it was and were supplied with everything we needed. The stable is surrounded with lovely views and the Bridge Inn down the road serves fantastic food. Perfect for a quiet break for two!

Absolutely brilliant place set right out in the sticks amongst some stunning scenery! I could go there every weekend!

Very friendly hosts.. And accommodation was absolutely stunning, every possible detail has been thought off.. Used as base for weekend to walk Pen Y Fan which was in great location for and Hay-on-Wye is just down road which has a couple of lovely pubs.. All round perfect weekend.

Such a beautiful place to stay for a quiet weekend away. Ruth was such an amazing host, she couldn't do enough to make our stay a good one. Provided a cot and high chair for my 9mth old daughter. The bed was possibly the most comfortable ever, we will be back for sure.

Would absolutely recommend Ruth's Holt Stable. Ruth was a wonderful host. She was quick to reply and provided great recommendation. The area is stunning and the place is great!

What a great place to stay. We stayed in Wain House for 2 nights & totally loved it. The location is fantastic, the hosts lovely & we really can't fault the accommodation. I was extremely impressed with the local town (Hay-on-Wye), it has a really ethical fashion scene and a jaw-dropping selection of great deli's selling local produce. I am a chef in Bristol and found things in these delis that I haven't found anywhere else.. amazing! I would recommend this place to anybody, for any kind of break.. its perfect

Katherine was very welcoming showing us around the property and explaining how everything worked. She had baked us a cake and left us milk and jam which was lovely. She gave us her phone number in case we needed her and then we were left to enjoy our stay. The Wootens Wagon is a lovely site set on its own in a cider apple orchard, it has a really comfortable bed, the light inside run by a solar panel, hot and cold water in the wash basin and outdoor shower. The outdoor kitchen is wonderful with comfy seating and a lovely view, with a solar powered fridge and a double burning cooker with a tiny oven. Having access to a small part of the river bank was great. I would highly recommend this property for anyone wanting a 'glamping' experience.

Absolutely out of this world. It was amazing to go "off radar" for a few days whilst enjoying complete luxury. From the dangerously comfortable bed (we overslept both days) to the idealic outside kitchen, all with the back drop of rolling hills and sound track of the local wildlife. Katherine's communication was excellent upto and during the stay (although we needed for nothing). She also left detailed instructions to the local pub which was a stunning bike ride adventure through the cider orchards. A few other highlights were cooking on the fire pit each evening, buying fresh eggs from a local small holding and enjoying a hot shower outside! Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer.

Lovely secluded location. The wagon was cosy and comfy and the outdoor shower was a highlight for both of us. The kitchen had everything we needed, it was just a shame a few amenities weren't working the first night. Katherine was pleasant and apologetic and got it working for the next day.

Simply stunning! A beautiful place with amazing facilities and a whole orchard to ourselves. Ralph our puppy absolutely loved it and we couldn't recommend it highly enough to others. If you are looking for a beautiful place away from civilisation, in a stunning setting but with all the amenities to make your life easy, then this is it. Incredible - we'll definitely be back!

Amazing weekend!! Such a lovely experience, everything you need, very well thought out and spread out over gorgeous scenery in a picturesque Orchard. The shower was a real treat, I had one under the stars at night and it truly was a wonderful highlight. You really need a car as it is in the middle of nowhere and took a very long time to walk to the pub so I would suggest driving but cannot fault a thing. Would happily come back...sad to leave to be honest...the relaxing weekend I needed living and working in London. Thanks Katherine :-)

Wow! Katherine was an amazing host for our vacation. We were greeted and personally guided to the orchard and wagon. After a quick introduction, welcome, and delicious homemade cake and jam, we were left to enjoy our weekend in peace and serenity. The entire experience was just what we needed to disconnect and enjoy ourselves - including a wonderfully hot outdoor shower and an incredibly comfy bed. The kitchen area had every single amenity we needed and the local farm shop was just a short walk down the road. My wife and I will definitely be coming back soon!

What a wonderful place. Loved the accommodation - the wagon was very cute with a VERY comfy luxury bed. Slept very well. The camping kitchen with sofa was a great idea and made cooking and relaxing very easy. The shower is fun. Fire pit and logs for dreaming at night and a secret spot by river for dreaming in the day! Would recommend staying here.

A brilliant little caravan with a very well equipped outdoor kitchen and a lovely shower with warm water and fluffy towels! We had a very comfortable weekend and Katherine went out of her way to be hospitable giving us lots of tips about the local area, baking us a very tasty welcome cake and checking that we had everything we needed. The area is beautiful to explore with good walking and quaint villages. The orchards and river are very picturesque and the setting of the caravan is very quiet with a great view! I would definitely recommend it!!

Beautiful little place. Barbara and Philip were extremely welcoming hosts who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable! Would definitely recommend.

Stayed at the cosy cabin for one night only. Great location just outside Herefordshire,clean and fresh looking inside and out . Hosts Philip and Barbara made me feel very welcome from the outset and did everything in there power to make my stay a memorable one. Overall a great stay and would definitely highly recommend .

Great accommodation, very clean and fully functional. Our host nice , friendly . Will go back

Linda was a fantastic host - very friendly and helpful both before and during our stay. The cottage is lovely and in a stunning remote location. Fantastic walking in the nearby Brecon Beacons and along Offa's Dyke. Highly recommend staying here!

We really enjoyed our stay at River Cottage. Linda was very welcoming and helpful. The house was well furnished and equipped and in the perfect location to relax.

I cannot praise this cottage enough. Its location up in the mountain with the river flowing outside the door, not a sound only from the river,sheep and wild birds. The cottage was so warm and cosy, with the added heat from the log stove. Cottage was spotless clean with everything you need. Can't recommend this place enough.

Beautiful cottage in a valley, secluded and peaceful. Great for a relaxing break away and get some miles in walking the surrounding countryside. Although nearest supermarket is 30 mins away, stock up before you get there.

This was a super cottage tucked under the Black Hill with the river Monnow flowing beside the garden. Linda was very welcoming and helpful. The cottage was larger than it seemed in the pictures and very comfortable with a log burner and nicely equipped kitchen. There was a superb lemon drizzle cake when we arrived, and we were happily left to our own devices.

We arrived very late on the Friday night so unfortunately never got to meet Linda in person but just wanted to thank her for a great stay in her cottage! Even on a very wet and windy Welsh weekend the cottage was fantastic - that log burner made it very cosy and there was absolutely nothing to fault. We'll definitely be back x

Lovely cottage under the Black Mountain, beside a wee river. Very warm welcome from Linda - a top weekend.
