Find Shopping Hotels in Hay on Wye

"A gem of an experience at Somerville House. Kind and friendly host couple, a cosy room with many small extra details of care, lovely breakfast too. Easy walkable to the downtown of charming Hereford."

"Best part of my stay was the staff- they were very friendly and always happy to help. I felt very welcome during my entire stay. The breakfast was really good, the room was comfortable and clean with all the necessities. Would love to come back!"

"This is a beautiful inn inside and out with great inside and outside dining facilities as well. If you only think to visit Hay-On-Wye dyring the book festival you are missing out on all the other wonderful attributes of the region. The walking is fabulous, ancient wooded footpath along the River, Mouse Castle Woods, Hay Castle, the outdoor market huge ancient Yew trees at Cusop's St. Mary's church. If, like me, your purpose is to explore on foot, tuck some slippers in your backpack so as not to dirty the carpets. Slippers are not provided :)"

"Love the Metropole.. the staff are excellent especially Spencers Brasserie staff .. food fabulous .good menu and very attentive staff. Lovely spa facilities .. good bed linen .. could do with better coffee in rooms and biscuits, also no non alco cocktails in bar.. but still had the best of times"

"The room I stayed in in this beautiful building was possibly one of the most beautiful I have ever stayed in. However when it came to the service of the staff there was a lot left to be desired... and this was in no means the fault of the staff of which there were only two... to run the bar and service the needs of the guests. I did feel that it was odd that every time I called the hotel before arriving that there was never anyone manning the phone, but regardless we were not put off. If I was to visit again, I would want to know that I wouldn't have to wait at an empty bar for 12 minutes before being served (I know the 2 staff, one of which was a trainee) were busy with the dining but at £270 a night, that isn't good enough and not my problem... I don't wish to seem petty but lots of other short comings occurred like being first into the dining hall and one of last to have our order taken, waiting until the end of our starter before our drinks arrived and taking far too long to reseat us when my wife couldn't read the menu because of the dim light. I get that there was only two staff and there were 10 couples in the dining room but this is a failing from a managerial point of view which I definitely didn't expect from such a seemingly highbrow establishment.
