Watch the kingfishers down by the river, explore the famous bookshops of Hay, have a picnic, stroll to the pub. Hiding amidst trees on the banks of the Wye, to a musical backdrop of waterfall and birds, is a renovated mill cottage on an old drovers’ road – a truly romantic escape. It stands on the Cabalva Estate, a family-run sheep and beef farm that owns the rights to fishing on the river… flick a fly below your front door. All is new, spacious and beautifully put together. Cream walls, oak floors, wool plaid curtains and a big leather sofa keep the sitting room cheerful and bright, there’s a desk in the corner with a landline for guests (no signal here!), logs from the estate, music, TV, cards, and a generous hamper that includes homemade Welsh cakes. The kitchen is delightful. Bury your toes in a sheepskin rug, sleep soundly in a super-king bed.
You are staying on the banks of the river Wye with your very own waterfall... otters and kingfishers live there too! Bring your bikes, boots, rod and swimmers or hire a canoe upriver and boat past your own front door. Loved up or on your own this is a gorgeously cosy retreat and when the solitude starts to wane then Hay is only a walk away...
