Family-friendly holiday rentals in Hay-on-Wye

Both myself and my partner had a lovely stay we couldn't of picked a better place to stay, the accommodation was spotless, the hot tub was lovely and the overall stay was perfect. I would highly recommend to anyone that wishes for a nice relaxing time away, we will definetly be stopping again in the very near future. Thanks Nigel & Debs for such a welcoming stay.

Claire's place was perfect for our needs as a base for a walk in the Brecons. It had a well equipped kitchen, and even Sky TV. Claire was a great host, responsive, easy to contact, had some local recommendations and even gave us a lift to the pub.

Beautiful location perfectly clean and comfortable . Slight disturbance due to busy road noise but other than that the perfect place to stay.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Luxury Tree House. The property is even more beautiful than the pictures — spacious, cozy, and immaculately clean. The setting is peaceful and surrounded by nature, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was a definite highlight, especially in the evenings. Pam was a fantastic host — very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. Check-in was seamless, and everything we needed was provided. We would highly recommend this unique property and hope to return again!

We had a fantastic stay! The host was absolutely lovely - responsive, welcoming, and even came out to meet us, which made us feel right at home. The space was clean and full of thoughtful, personal touches that really set it apart. The hot tub was definitely a highlight - perfect for relaxing after a day out. We also really appreciated the EV charger, which made traveling so much easier. The home was very spacious and beautifully maintained, with great attention to detail throughout. Would 100% stay again - highly recommended!

We have had a lovely few days staying here. Was exactly as described and we made use of the hot tub and fire pit every day. The communal building would be very useful on wet days or larger gatherings. Will come back another time.

Came here for my wife’s birthday weekend. Started with just us, the dog and the baby which the place was perfect for a little family break but for the last 2 nights a family member had the baby and our friends arrived and we had a great time in the hot tub, at the local pubs and walking and boating in the lake. The place was gorgeous and we had to perfect weather to make use of the spacious garden and bbq. Couldn’t fault the place, we met Deri’s mother Marg and the two farm dogs Max and Jess and they couldn’t have been friendlier. Couldn’t have been happier and we will hopefully be back!

A Wonderful Stay – Peaceful, Comfortable and Thoughtfully Hosted We stayed at the Wye Valley Forest Retreat while attending our son’s wedding nearby, and it truly made the whole weekend even more special. The cottage is stunning – peaceful, spotlessly clean, and surrounded by breathtaking countryside. It felt like a real escape, yet close enough to everything we needed. Jayne was an absolutely fantastic host. Although we didn’t meet her in person, her communication was outstanding – friendly, clear, and helpful from the moment we booked. She couldn’t do enough for us, always quick to respond and thoughtful in every way. We were especially touched to find a lovely bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival – such a kind and personal gesture that made us feel instantly welcome. The cottage itself had everything we needed and more. We were blessed with amazing weather, and being able to relax in the hot tub and sauna during the days around the wedding made the whole experience even more

We’ve stayed in lots of Airbnb places over the years and Oak Farm is up there with the best. We had a fantastic week with Alicia & Chris being excellent and friendly hosts. They went out of their way to make our stay extremely comfortable and they were very generous with their time and the extras they provided. The location is superb with outstanding views across the hills, we spent many happy hours sitting in the Sun loungers reading. It’s also a great location for exploring the wonderful hills around Abergavenny . Our dog loved it too with a secure area of woodland for him to play and explore we would love to return one day and will be recommending this place to our friends and family . Thank you Alicia and Chris.

Beautiful location, very helpful host! Very understanding when we checked out late because the baby needed to be fed!

Incredible stay at a serene and unique location. Wonderful hospitality and local recommendations for hikes and food from the hosts, along with local history. 10/10, would stay again!

We had a wonderful stay (it was my second visit) and the property was perfect for my elderly mother. It's all on one level with spacious rooms and an accessible wet room. The property is very well equipped so it's easy to self cater if you want to. The house is very attractive inside and out and in a perfect setting with beautiful views. It's very peaceful and rural but with plenty of places to visit if you take a short drive and lovely local walks.

Lovely clean spacious with great choice of bed linen. Soak and sleep white cotton. Comfortable beds. Great shower downstairs. I didn’t use the upstairs one to say. Well stocked kitchen Lovely coffee machine Peaceful with good outdoor space.

Only a one night stay but was a very peaceful and cosy night. Everything was immaculate when we arrived. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The grounds on which we stayed were gorgeous and very nice to walk around. Would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay and would love to return later on in the year. Our little dogs also loved the place and gave it 5 stars too 😊🎉

We stayed here over bank holiday weekend for a biking trip with family - idyllic location, beautiful views and a really lovely cottage. Maggie was a brilliant host and provided all the information we needed. I'm sure we'll be back again!

Our stay at the pool house was great. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful and clearly look after the place very well. The house itself is lovely: clean, nicely decorated, and equipped with everything you need for a holiday. It's also very private, being away from the main residence and surrounded by peaceful greenery with a wrap-around garden. The outside space is very relaxing, with several dining areas and roaming space, and it's also secure for dogs. The pool is fantastic and definitely the main attraction in good weather; it's clean, large enough for several people, a good depth for swimming but most adults can also safely stand, self-enclosed for extra safety, and just as private as the rest of the place. If you can pry yourself away from the water, there's also lovely country walks and farms in the surrounding area, and amenities are a short drive away. We definitely plan on visiting again.

It’s a lovely tranquil place and was everything we needed while we visited the Royal Welsh winter fair. Check in was easy the apartment was lovely and warm for when we arrived and the instructions left were clear and easy to follow The only negative thing I’d have to say is that on the Air B&B listing it puts the cottage in the middle of Builth but it’s actually 15-20 minutes away But this is definitely a lovely spot and I will recommend to anyone who needs a place to stay

Me and my friends had an amazing time at the old granary would highly recommend to any group of friends staying there and the hosts were very helpful and responsive.

We recently stayed at Lake View Cottage and had a truly relaxing experience. The surroundings were absolutely beautiful, with stunning views of the lake and peaceful, natural scenery all around. The cottage had a lovely sense of privacy, making it feel like our own little retreat. The swimming pool was a big hit, especially with the kids—they had a blast! It was the perfect mix of comfort and tranquility. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy quality time with family.

Sure! Here's a warm, thoughtful Airbnb review template you can customize depending on your experience: --- We had the most wonderful stay at this charming cottage in Wales. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home—the place is beautifully kept, spotlessly clean, and full of character. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable and peaceful stay, including a well-equipped kitchen, cosy living area, and a very comfortable bed. The location is perfect—tucked away in nature, yet still close enough to explore the local town and walking trails. Waking up to the sound of birds and enjoying our coffee with a view of the hills was truly magical. Our host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and full of great recommendations for things to do in the area. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and experience the beauty of rural Wales.

Nice lovely cottage, with plenty to do nearby. Very clean and well maintained.

Beautiful house in amazing surroundings. The kids loved the piano and musical instruments. Pool was fab and the recommendations really helpful.

Amazing value for money. We stayed in Oak cottage and it was very spacious and had the most beautiful views! The pool and hot tub were such a brilliant addition. Danielle was a brilliant host and very responsive. We will definitely be back again, thank you so much!
