The worse place we have ever stayed and felt trapped we knew we had to stay overnight
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The room was dirty with spiders and cobwebs everywhere.(photos to prove this) The sheets were dirty with holes in overall awful. We had to sleep on top of the bed with our outdoor clothes on. We are both in our 70's travelled all day, and it was after five when we arrived so could not find anywhere else to go.

Short break in hay
Pros:

Breakfast was lovely with homemade jam & honey and hot croissants. Having our own bathroom and bedroom away from the main part of the house was lovely. The room was lovely and tidy. Richard was an amazing host and had a great conversation and was friendly. Can't wait to come back again. Brilliant location

Wonderful and cosy
Pros:

The landlord was very welcoming and prepared himself a delicious breakfast with home made croissants, jam and honey. The cottage is his house that has been converted very nicely into guest lodging as well. Some 10 minutes driving to Hay-on-Wye.

Magnifique maison ancienne où l'on se sent bien. Le propriétaire Richard est adorable, il nous a servi des petits-déjeuners délicieux avec du miel et des confitures maison. Calme garanti.

Great place to stay if you like old buildings.
Pros:

Amazing old half-timbered cottage with lots of character. Richard, the owner, bakes fresh croissants for breakfast and makes his own honey and jam, followed by poached egg on toast. Small and personal.

Reviews led us to believe the accommodation was much better than it was.
Pros:

The honey and home made jam at breakfast

Cons:

Only hand towels not bath towels. Coffee and tea supplied in the room was old or non existent. Garden very over grown and parking quite difficult.

The host was a great source of information and the cottage a delightful glimpse into the past.
Pros:

My daughter and I throughly enjoyed our time at Chestnut Cottage with host Richard. The breakfast he prepared was outstanding! We learned much from him about life in his area of Wales and enjoyed spending time in his very, very old house, to which he has very tastefully added an upstairs to make space for guests. We would gladly return to spend time in this BnB.
