Guests say
Guests have had a delightful experience at Hay Store, praising its cleanliness, stunning location, and comfortable amenities. The hot tub is a highlight, well-maintained and perfect for relaxation, complemented by beautiful views. Thoughtful touches like fresh eggs and milk add to the charm. Some minor issues were noted, but overall, the stay is highly regarded.
The property is consistently described as super clean and spotless, indicating high standards of cleanliness. Only one mention of flies detracts slightly from an otherwise perfect record.
The location is celebrated for its amazing views and idyllic setting, offering a peaceful retreat. However, the hot tub's lack of privacy due to its proximity to the car park slightly affects the score.
The cottage is noted for its comfort, with a spacious table, comfortable bedding, and a downstairs bedroom suitable for elderly parents. Suggestions for improved lighting and one instance of noise from neighbours are the only comfort-related issues mentioned.
Facilities are generally excellent, with a well-maintained hot tub and good provision of essentials. However, the mention of poor Wi-Fi and the hot tub's location next to the car park suggest room for improvement.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful gestures such as provision of eggs, milk, and other essentials. While these gifts are warmly received, it's important to note that such offerings are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

The Hay Store was stunning, spotlessly clean, well equipped, spacious and comfortable with great mattresses and bedding. The hot tub was wonderful to relax in and enjoy the incredible views of the Welsh valley and hills looking out over a field of beautiful cows. We loved the goats out the front and views from the master bedroom of the river below. Thank you for a fantastic stay.
