Nine miles from the town of Hay-on-Wye, this Edwardian country house hotel in a modified 17th-century Jacobean manor is set amid 17 acres of gardens and parkland. Lavish public rooms contain baronial stone fireplaces, oil paintings, heavy floral fabrics and Persian carpets. Of the 23 accommodations, Master Suites provide sitting rooms with mullioned windows, shelves of books and architectural drawings, as well as marble baths with separate tubs and showers. An elegant dining room adorned with original fine art offers a menu that employs ingredients from the on-site kitchen garden. The exemplary service, idyllic location and authentic country house atmosphere more than compensate for the hotel’s lack of spa, gym and pool. Guided mountain hikes, archery, fishing, falconry and biking can be arranged.

Edwardian house-party atmosphere; fine restaurant; friendly staff; scenic location.
The lack of fitness facilities (though the absence of an elevator to the third floor mitigates this omission to some extent); weekends are often taken over by weddings.
