We stayed here for a couple of nights to explore the bookstores of Hay-On-Wye. The rooms were a good size and very clean. Breakfast covered all the bases and Ann and Keith were a wealth of information on the area pointing out the best pubs (would recommend 'The Blue Boar') riverside walks and directions to London on our final day....

We were cycling the Sustrans North to South Wales and arrived in heavy rain/hail - absolutely soaked plus a bit muddy. Unfazed the owner coped with storing our bikes and getting our wet clothes dried. The b&b looks like an ordinary house but inside it is modern, absolutely clean and warm. Good bedroom and bathroom facilities. Plenty of maps and... More

Was warmly welcomed and it set up a wonderful stay. We had 2 nights and wished it was more. Room was spotless and comfortable and quiet at all the right times. Breakfast was beautifully delivered each morning with plenty to set us up for the day (although a sausage or two would have made it perfect ;) Ann was very... More

This was our first trip to Hay-on-Wye and we found St Mary's B&B to be an excellent place to stay. The room with en-suite bath was clean, comfortable and modern. The proprietress was knowledgeable about the local points of interest and gave us great recommendations for eateries. Really enjoyed the easy walk into village from the B&B. The full breakfast...

We've been visiting Hay for more than 10 years and have stayed in a few of Hays B+Bs. This was our first stay at St Marys B+B and would highly recommend it. It is located on a quiet street within easy walking distance from the centre of Hay and its bookshops. The room was spotlessly clean with a comfy bed... More

My wife and I have stayed in many of Hay's B&Bs over the years, and after our first visit to St Mary's last week I'd rank it as one of the best. We enjoyed the comfortable, well-equipped rooms, a friendly and efficient proprietor, nicely prepared and served breakfasts, and the quiet location just a short distance from the centre of... More

Booked for two nights but liked it so much that we decided to extend to four. Room was immaculate, spotless, and the bed was comfortable, as was the whole place really; and I am very particular. Extremely nice hosts - the right people in the right job. From the outside it looks average but just book it, you wont be... More

We stayed here with our teen daughters over New Years. The place is clean and well kept. The owners offered us advice on restaurants and touring in the area. The breakfast was more than enough with a full English on offer. . You can easily walk into the Center of Hay from here. More

We stayed as 2 couples whilst walking Offa's Dyke. Ann Young, the proprietor, was fast & efficient answering her e-mails, was full of information as to the best places to get things & her recommendations turned out to be spot on. The B&B is in a side road & quiet. The rooms were spotless, uncluttered & tasteful. Breakfast was on... More

We stayed for two nights during a stormy week. Good thing Hay had plenty of great bookshops! Ann was a great host and very helpful. Our room was nice and clean. In all, a truly nice stay. Can imagine Hay being rather magical during summer! More
