Very clean, and being dog friendly our beloved Spaniel Poppy could enjoy the holiday too, with some magnificent walks to be had around Hay right from the door. A bottle of wine , some milk and chocolate biscuits awaited us which was a thoughtful touch from the owner. We gave already decided we shall return for another visit. One very minor nit-pick - there were no dishwasher tablets so we couldn't use the dishwasher, but overall the property is excellent and we had a lovely holiday in it.
