A Georgian townhouse full of character for an epic family and friend get-together. The best of Hay is a stroll away

It’s a real treat to have such a stylish and serene house so close to all the town’s best bits. By keeping things simple and pared back, owner Pierson and his partner have created a great feeling of space – even if you fill the place up, there are still friendly little corners inside and out where you can read or relax.

The beautiful walled garden is kept in check by a weekly visit from a gardener: the lawn’s a great spot for lounging with a book and the flagged courtyard has table and chairs for outdoor banquets. If the weather doesn’t do its duty, there’s enough room for everyone to eat at the light-filled dining table.

Browse the overflowing book shops, visit one of the best butchers, enjoy a pint and a people-watch or hire a canoe for the Wye. Return to much comfort and a generous welcome hamper.

Pierson Austin:

Discover Hay on Wye. Enjoy rummaging the shelves of the town’s countless bookshops or visit during the festival when writers from around the globe descend for literary events! Pick up local produce at Hay's weekly market or wander the old castle grounds!
Enjoy the pleasures of the River Wye. Wild swim in the summer at local meadow and beach, the Warren, 15 mins walk from the house; get active and canoe the river from Glasbury to Hay with a picnic in hand; or fish for your supper at local angling spots!
Discover the Black Mountains. Drive the Gospel Pass, a scenic route through the hills (& the highest road in Wales!) to the stunningly situated Llanthony Priory. Walk in the footsteps of 12th century monks before lunch at the pub built into the old ruins.
Climb Hay’s Bluff for both a sense of achievement & wonderful views. Look out for the wild ponies that graze on the hillside. Alternatively, explore the mountains on a half day’s pony trek with a trusty companion! (no experience needed).
Get on your bike - hills or valley it’s up to you. Enjoy a leisurely cycle to the Tram Inn in Eardisley though beautiful countryside and over the toll bridge at Whitney (free for cyclists!) or head into the Black Mountains to get your muscles flexing!
Visit Hereford to see the world's largest medieval map, the Mappa Mundi! Learn to operate locks on a daytrip on the Monmouth & Brecon canal; find out how to mill flour (the old fashioned way!) at Talgarth Mill; or how cheese is made at the Monkland Dairy.
