It is comfortably furnished and the seating includes a sofa bed for when extra sleeping space is required, there is also a dining table and chairs. There is a large Flat Screen TV (Freeview, Netflix, Prime. iPlayer etc.) with DVD player.

Fantastic Apartment!

The coach house is a wonderful place to stay and we would highly recommend it. It's a short walk across the fields or via the roads to the centre of Hay. The hosts are fabulous. I can't think of anything negative to say about this apartment.

Beautiful property - an absolute gem!

We had a wonderful stay at Rothbury for our 25th Anniversary. The apartment was simply stunning and the pictures don't do it justice. It was immaculate and well stocked, and the communication from Jan was top class. It is a 10-15 min stroll from the centre of Hay and perfect for anyone who wants to visit this beautiful town. I can't recommend it highly enough and we certainly be back.

Lovely cottage close to town

We had a wonderful stay at Rothbury when visiting Hay for a friends wedding. We had our 5 month old baby with us and the annexe was the perfect size for us all. Jan had very thoughtfully offered us the use of a baby bath, which helped hugely. It was just a short 15 minute walk into Hay but it was equally lovely to sit out on the balcony and just relax with the wonderful views of the countryside! We would highly recommend to stay here.

Idyllic

A beautiful location, overlooking fields and with lovely grounds of its own. The flat was spotless and cosy with everything you could need. I stayed here alone with my dog for a week and everything about it was perfect. The owners, Jan and Andrew, were on holiday themselves so I didn't get to meet them but they were in touch to check everything was ok for me and it was clear that nothing was too much trouble for them. Wish I could have stayed longer, a perfect break from it all.

Happy in Hay

We arrived in the sunshine, our host greeted us and left us to settle in. The easy walk to town was literally written on postcard and took us on a lovely wander to Hay on Wye. So many books so little time! This is a perfect place to stay. We also walked along the riverside and had a fabulous Tapas meal at Tomatitos in town. Everyone is so friendly and lots of great independent shops. The apartment is excellently appointed with lots of special touches. Thank you Jan and Andrew for a very special stay.

Relaxing return to Rothbury

We always enjoy coming back to Rothbury as we know that we will have a lovely place to stay which is clean, comfortable and has everything we need and more. The situation is ideal for us, a short walk into Hay and more importantly not too far to walk back laden with books! Plenty of nice places to walk either from the doorstep, or after a short drive and fantastic scenery too. Jan and Andrew are excellent hosts although we obviously avoided contact with them this time to keep us all safe. Even the weather was perfect this time: not too hot, but warm and sunny with no rain or wind. We hope to return again, as it is always a place we really enjoy very much. Thank you once again for letting us stay with you.

Cussop near Hay on Wye

A self contained annex part of a well known local house "Rothbury" ... both properties immaculate.. A short 10 minute walk into Hay or an ideal starting point for Herefordshire and the Brecons.... Everything you required to make your stay perfect was ready waiting - tea , coffee , kitchen roll - toiletries - fresh flowers - beautifully furnished - plenty of guides and useful local information created by Jan and Andrew... although with covid some of the information will be out of date ... suggest booking the best restaurants early... if your a walker it is a great location...but would recommend to anyone... Hay on Wye a great place..

A great place to stay!

This is a lovely apartment, in a very quiet area with wonderful walks right from the door. The lounge is warm and comfortable with a beautiful view from the window at the back. The kitchen has everything you need. The bed was very comfortable, and it is quiet and peaceful at night, so absolutely no complaints. Lovely hosts. I don’t have a car and for me, it was ideal for a walking holiday and for visiting the bookshops and independent shops in Hay.

About the host

Hosted by Jan Billington

Host profile image
We are both originally from the north of England. We moved here from Derbyshire over thirty years ago when Andrew was offered a job in Hay on Wye. Many years ago we started doing B&B during the Hay Literary Festival which we enjoyed. After taking early retirement we started doing B&B full time and also offering self-catering in the apartment. During this time we really enjoyed meeting a fantastic range of guests visiting Hay from all over the world. Now with commitments to Grandchildren amongst other things we just offer the Coach House apartment.
Andrew & Jan

Why they chose this property

When we first considered moving to the area and had a look around, Rothbury was the first house we looked at and we immediately fell in love with it and its location. Just out of Hay on the English side of the Dulas brook and the Offa’s dyke path it was the perfect combination of rural tranquillity with easy access to all the facilities of the town. The house itself needed some work but that’s a long story…

What makes this property unique

The Coach House is perfect for a quiet getaway, characterful but modern and just a quick walk into to town. The balcony offers the opportunity to sit and eat and drink whilst taking in the beautiful view across to Cusop Hill. We never tire of it even after more than 30 years. There is not another holiday let in the area offering the opportunity to sit in your own apartment and take in such a view.
