Atelier Hay - Self-catering apartment in Powys
Lion Street, Hay on Wye, HR3 5AA, Powys
Wales,
Royaume-Uni
Val runs an art gallery on the ground floor of her 17th-century house and has filled the apartment above it with beautiful pieces of art (some that you can buy) and carefully chosen furniture. She’s very much a local and will give you useful tips about walks and where to eat.
Observe the bustling streets from your perch on a window seat in the massive living room, cook in the sweet little kitchen – there's an excellent deli selling local produce two doors down – or find restaurants and pubs on your doorstep.
The town is very walkable and for getting out, the river is lovely – walk four miles to the River Café for lunch and then canoe back. Walk, wild swim or cycle in the moody Black Mountains, return to much comfort and good books.

Local points of interest from Val Harris:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
Val Harris:
- Do bring your walking boots and from the front door walk North or South along Offa’s Dyke Path, East or West along the Wye Valley Walk or venture further afield into the Brecon Beacons and climb Pen y Fan, the largest mountain in South Wales (886m)
- For the foodies we have Chapters, just down the street, brilliant modern food in a tiny chapel and at the other end of town the Blue Boar, the locals local. The River Cafe Glasbury, Felin Fach Griffin & Stagg Inn are further afield but certainly worth it!
- For art lovers, my contemporary art gallery, The Table, has regularly changing exhibitions and you will find artworks for sale both downstairs and upstairs. The Haymakers, Brook Street Pottery, Tŷ Tân and the Lion Street Gallery all add to the art scene.
- This Town of Books does not disappoint boasting over thirty book shops and the Atelier is next door to the largest, Richard Booths Bookshop. What you will find in Hay are independent shop keepers proud of their product and happy to tell you so!
- The River Wye borders this ancient Marches town and offers something for everyone: canoeing, kayaking, fishing, paddling, skimming stones and for the intrepid and young at heart the must-do wild swimming Wim Hof style!
- The Atelier is a sanctuary of calm and a perfect retreat space; Val is able to offer private gong baths to her guests and to arrange massages by appointment.
