Old Black Lion  

In the heart of Hay-on-Wye's bookish market town. Just a three-minute walk to the centre and sitting on the east bank of the River Wye.

A colourful 17th-century inn with exposed timber beams, roaring log fires and a wooden-beamed bar. Parts of the building date back to the 1300s and the place has plenty of old‑world character. Ten individually decorated en-suite rooms come with flat-screen TVs, tea & coffee facilities and hairdryers. Accessible via an elevator and offering free on-site parking.

Award-winning 2 AA Rosette restaurant and a cosy oak-timbered bar serving local ales, including the house 'Old Black Lion'. Free Wi‑Fi throughout and free on-site parking. Sympathetic historic interiors, comfy armchairs and a warm pub atmosphere. Freshly cooked breakfast available on request.

Free Wi‑Fi throughout the property and direct-dial telephones in rooms. Free on-site parking for guests.
