Hay-on-Wye is a book lover’s paradise, world-renowned for its charming independent bookshops. The town’s most famous store, Richard Booth’s Books, is a beautifully restored treasure trove of literature, but the smaller shops are equally enchanting.
But Hay-on-Wye isn’t just about books – its stunning location on the border between England and Wales makes it perfect for exploring the great outdoors. The Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons provide dramatic backdrops, and the River Wye offers picturesque views. After a day of adventure, enjoy delicious meals at local favorites like Chapters Restaurant, The Old Black Lion, and The Granary, where the food is as charming as the town itself. Hay-on-Wye is a place where stories and landscapes come to life.
We adore Hay-on-Wye at Coolstays, and offer a wide array of lovely places to stay in and around the town. These include quaint cabins, gorgeous treehouses and converted barns.
