Fantastic B&B, lovely hosts and amazing breakfast

Pros: Fantastic B&B. Outstanding breakfast choice, quality and quantity. Hosts so lovely and nothing was too much trouble. So many lovely touches, like a fridge with milk and water, dressing gowns, Welsh cakes with the selection of teas and coffee. Just so lovely there.

Cons: Getting a taxi can be a problem

Spectacular b&b.

Pros: The Smithy is an exceptional b&b. We stayed in a garden room...it was amazing, modern, sleek and well-equipped with a spectacular view and a small, private garden area. Breakfast was the best of its kind. I can't praise this place too much.

Cons: There was nothing to dislike.

Good to be Back.

Pros: Excellent location, the Horseshoe Annexe is spacious, well equipped with fabulous views over the Herefordshire Countryside, perfect to return to after exploring National Trust Properties and gardens as well as only a five minute or so drive from Hay -on -Wye. We sat in the private little tranquil garden at night, watching hares racing and a family of foxes. The hosts are pleasant and welcoming and serve up a delicious breakfast, lots to choose from and served in the main house. I stated at this delightful B&B 8 years ago and it would be our first choice if we return again to Herefordshire.

Cons: Absolutely nothing.
