With 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and around an acre of mature gardens, it's a wonderful place for extended families and groups of friends to spend time together and make memories - for a birthday, reunion or just a weekend away. The large open-plan kitchen and dining room is the heart of the house, with a dining table seating 12 and plenty of space for cooking, eating and catching up. There's also a separate, comfortable sitting room, giving everyone room to spread out. Two log burners make the house particularly inviting for autumn and winter breaks. The six individually named bedrooms sleep 12 comfortably, with flexible arrangements for up to 14–16 guests by prior agreement. Four bathrooms, including two en-suites, help make life easier for larger groups. Outside, the private hot tub and beautiful wooden sauna, nestled beneath the trees, are firm favourites with our guests. The extensive gardens provide plenty of space for children and adults alike, with a full-size table tennis table, football goal and large climbing frame. There's also a generous patio with barbecue for outdoor meals, plenty of parking and an EV charger. Children and dogs are very welcome. The Old Vicarage is ideally situated for discovering this beautiful, relatively unspoilt corner of the country. Hay-on-Wye's famous bookshops, Hereford Cathedral, the Black Mountains and Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) are all within easy reach. Wonderful walks, quiet cycling routes, country pubs, independent shops and local food producers abound. Equally, you may find that once you've arrived, you simply want to stay put and enjoy the house and gardens. A home with a story, the Old Vicarage has been in our family for over 50 years. Our parents spent decades restoring the house and creating its gardens, and we grew up here ourselves. We've since carefully renovated it for holiday guests, combining Victorian character with modern comfort. We manage the property personally and are always happy to help with questions or local recommendations. ## Facilities - **Dog Friendly:** Dogs are very welcome!

We’re approximately halfway between Hay-on-Wye and Hereford, both around 25 minutes away by car. Hay-on-Wye is famous for its independent bookshops and annual literary festival, but it’s also a lovely place to spend a few hours exploring its cafés, galleries and interesting shops. Hereford offers a different experience, with its magnificent cathedral, the medieval Mappa Mundi, independent shops, restaurants and the River Wye running through the city. The Golden Valley is ideal for anyone who enjoys the countryside. There are lovely walks and quiet cycling routes directly from the house, while the nearby Black Mountains offer more challenging hikes and spectacular views. Hay Bluff, the Olchon Valley and the wider Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park are all within easy reach. The River Wye is also popular for canoeing, kayaking and other outdoor activities. Plenty of interesting places nearby, including the atmospheric ruins of Snodhill Castle, the ancient Arthur’s Stone burial chamber and numerous historic churches, villages and country houses. Herefordshire is also known for its excellent local produce, particularly beef, cider and apples. You’ll find welcoming country pubs, farm shops, independent food producers and traditional markets throughout the surrounding area. Despite its peaceful rural location, The Old Vicarage is straightforward to reach by car. Hereford provides access to the wider road and rail network, with the A465 and B4348 serving the Golden Valley. ### What's Nearby? - **Food and Drink:** 2 pubs and a bistro 2 miles away - **Shop:** Corner shop 2 miles away, Locks 5 miles away, all the usual big names 10 miles away - **Train:** Hereford is 10 miles away
