Friday escape…

Imagine finishing work, bag packed and this being your view for the weekend…

A good book, something nice to drink and the Black Mountains in front of you. Not much else required.

Who could happily spend their weekend here?

Autumn just got a little warmer…

The temperature might be dropping, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing… Because this is the time of year when hot tubs, wood-fired saunas, outdoor baths and evenings beside the fire really come into their own.

There’s something rather lovely about sinking into a hot tub on a chilly evening, warming up in a sauna after a long walk or sitting beside the roaring fire for just one more drink…

We have some gorgeous stays across Hay-on-Wye, Mid Wales and the Valley with all sorts of lovely extras that make an autumn break feel that little bit more special.

So which are you choosing?
♨️ Hot tub
🔥 Wood-fired sauna
🛁 Outdoor bath
🪵 A roaring fire

Or are you looking for somewhere with all of the above?

It’s here…

The Hay Festival Winter Weekend 2026 programme has landed and there’s plenty to get excited about!

So, have a look through the programme, pick your favourites… and make a weekend of it.

We have a lovely collection of places to stay in and around Hay-on-Wye, whether you’re planning a cosy weekend for two, coming with friends or making a few days of it.

If you go down to the woods today… you’re sure of a FUNgi time…

There seems to be plenty popping up around here at the moment - I spotted all of these while out walking this week.

Now the question is… can anyone name any of them? Because I haven’t got a clue!

And if, like me, your mushroom knowledge could do with a little improvement, then Fungi Town might be the weekend for you.

Fungi Town is returning to Hay-on-Wye from 2nd–4th October.

Now in it’s third year, it’s grown into a three-day celebration of all things fungi, with talks, walks, workshops and events happening around Hay.

Come for the fungi, stay for the weekend. Find somewhere lovely to stay via the link in our bio.

100 days until Christmas!

Have you ever thought about going away for Christmas?

Waking up somewhere beautiful on Christmas morning, wrapping up for a winter walk, coming back to a cosy house and settling in for an afternoon of good food, games and probably a little too much chocolate.

If Christmas at home is starting to feel a little predictable, there’s still time to do something different this year.

We still have some lovely properties available for Christmas across Hay-on-Wye, the Wye Valley and Mid Wales, including stays for couples, families and bigger groups.

Swipe to see where you could be spending Christmas this year…

And if one takes your fancy, you can find it via the link in our bio!

There’s a lovely exhibition, Table Delights by Felicity House, at The Table on Lion Street in Hay this week and I immediately recognised the room in the picture being used to advertise it!

It’s the kitchen at The Atelier, one of the lovely little places to stay listed with Where the Wye Wanders.

Art is a big part of The Atelier, and over time guests have left their own sketches in the guest book too - of the rooms, little details they’ve noticed and even a morning cup of coffee. Swipe to see a few of them here because they’re just too lovely not to share…

If you’re in Hay this week, Table Delights is definitely worth popping in to see.

🎨 Table Delights – Felicity House
📍 The Table, Lion Street, Hay-on-Wye
📅 15–20 September
🕙 10am–5pm (from 12pm Sunday)

Fancy an autumn escape to Hay-on-Wye?

There’s now 10% off autumn stays at No25 & No26 Hay Retreats - a perfect excuse to sneak away for a few days as the seasons change.

Stay right in the heart of Hay, with everything on your doorstep. Pop out for breakfast, browse the shops, walk the river path and come and go as you please – no need to get back in the car.

And autumn is a lovely time to enjoy the town, when things are a little quieter and life moves at a slightly slower pace.

New to our ‘Things to Do’ directory…

The new HUNTA Hay-on-Wye History Hunt, created by the lovely Sarah at Sarah Price Hiking, turns a wander around town into a treasure hunt, following clues and discovering a little more about Hay along the way.

It’s a fun way to explore the town whether you’re visiting for the first time, staying for a few days or even think you know Hay pretty well already!

Solve the clues…Explore the town…Discover some of Hay’s history…See if you can complete the hunt!

You can now find the Hay-on-Wye History Hunt listed in our Things to Do directory.

We can’t wait to give this one a try ourselves… just as soon as the rain stops!

Who says getaways have to wait for the weekend?

Sometimes a couple of nights away midweek is exactly what you need…

A slow morning, coffee in Hay, a wander around the bookshops, a long lunch… then back to your accommodation to switch off for the evening.

Fewer crowds, a slower pace and no waiting until Friday to escape.

If you’ve got the flexibility, why not make the most of it?

We’ve got plenty of lovely places offering midweek and short breaks across Hay-on-Wye, the Wye Valley and Mid Wales.

Tuesday might just be the new Friday…
