Romantic quirky cottage in Hay On Wye

forestmillholidaycottages co uk

This charming one bedroomed Victorian stone cottage is ideal for anyone seeking a relaxing break exploring the town and its local eating houses, cafes or for those seeking a more active time using it as a base to explore the mountains and rivers.

Ty Bychan (little house) has recently been upgraded to a high standard. The sitting room has a fab wood burning stove for those cosy nights in (a basket of wood is provided during the colder months).

Upstairs is a lovely bedroom with rustic furniture and a luxurious king size bed, and a shower room.

Outside there is a small courtyard where walking boots and wet weather gear can be stored. This area gains access via very steep, narrow steps to a shared pathway leading to the small garden with seating and BBQ. PLEASE NOTE: the description of the narrow step steps and ensure you are happy you can navigate them before booking the cottage.

Ty Bychan is “in” Hay on Wye and has many amenities including independent shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs and of course the plethora of book shops to enjoy. As the cottage enjoys a central location in Hay there will be traffic noise heard usually daytime during the week, if you require a fantastically rural cottage with total peace and quiet we have another cottage a converted mill available to view at forestmillholidaycottages.

The surrounding countryside boasts an area of outstanding beauty within the Brecon Beacons National Park offering many outdoor activity opportunities such as canoeing on the River Wye, cycling on the tracks and lanes, mountain biking and walking in the Black mountains and the Brecon Beacons.

Whatever you chose; whether adrenelin fueled or relaxing Ty Bychan will provide you with a warm comfortable environment in which to enjoy stay.

We are dog friendly but due to the size of the cottage, one large dog or two small dogs are preferred, but please do discuss other options with us.

Lovely Cottage in a great location
A lovely cosy cottage with great facilities - just what we needed for a short break. Great location within easy walk of all that Hay on Wye has to offer - independent shops and cafes, pubs and restaurants. Easy to walk out and explore too without using the car if you don't want to. We'll be back!!

Great location, maybe not so great timing
Hay -on-Wye is a great place to visit, and Ty Bychan is well located. The property is lovely - loads of character, but with the mod cons. The shower is outstanding. A couple disappointments: 1. were informed shortly before arrival that WiFi would not be available after all 2. this is likely a time of year thing, but there were tractor trailers loaded with harvest thundering by several times an hour.

Our stay at Ty Bychan 15 Swan Bank Hay-on-WyeJune 2022
The property is very well equipped, cosy, lovely and clean, and welcoming. It is perfectly located, with only a very short walk into Hay for shops, pubs, restaurants, etc, and just a 5-10 minute drive to the Warren, or to Glasbury, to go swimming, sunbathing, and have a picnic. At Glasbury you can also take a leisurely 5 mile canoe ride (apprx 2 1/2 hours) back to Hay (even if you have never canoed before) and we would highly recommend the canoe trip, it will be a fantastic and memorable experience for everyone, for sure . We had the most wonderful, relaxing holiday experience at Ty Bychan Hay-on-Wye. Kind regards Mark, Sonia, and Buddy (our cocker spaniel)

Fabulous place to stay
Beautiful cottage well equipped for a comfortable stay. Amazing bed and garden. Short walk into Hay on Way which is lovely and very dog friendly. Gorgeous countryside especially the Warren. We didn't want to leave and will hopefully visit again soon.
