The Swan at Hay - Hereford

Church Street Hay-on-Wye
Hereford HR3 5DQ


 The Swan at Hay is a small privately-owned hotel and restaurant in the town of Hay-on-Wye where a warm welcome and good food await you. Hay-on-Wye standing alongside the river Wye retains all the charm of a late Georgian early Victorian market town. With its markets book shops boutique-style shops and access to the unrivalled scenery of The Black Mountains and Welsh Marches Hay-on-Wye is the ideal base for your short break or central meeting point. A fine grade-2 listed Georgian coaching inn we continue to improve and upgrade The Swan with a full refurbishment planned for 2016. As the original Town of Books and home to the annual book festival in May this small town on the England-Wales border has now achieved international recognition. However it is not just for books and the arts that you visit Hay-on-Wye. Situated within the Brecon Beacons National Park this is an ideal base from which to walk and explore the glorious hills of The Black Mountains. Fishing on the river Wye canoeing gliding long-distance cycling and horse riding are all offered locally. For the less energetic the Welsh Marches a largely undiscovered border country is a true gem with ruined Norman castles and rural churches waiting to be discovered. Cross the Gospel Pass into the hidden Hondu Valley where you will find the ruins of Llanthony Priory and the beautifully crooked Cwmyoy church. Alternatively visit Hereford a city dominated by the 12th century cathedral home to both the Mappa Mundi and England s largest chained library or travel a little further to Ludlow and en route visit Croft Castle and Berrington Hall two beautiful National Trust properties. Whether for business or pleasure The Swan at Hay can provide you with everything you need including a relaxing lounge bar many small snugs and lounge areas to hide away and read a book or catch up on emails and even meeting and function rooms if you would like to make Hay on Wye your base for that all important meeting or event.
