Lovely stay
A lovely little house in the centre of Hay. Off road parking was a bonus, as was the handy boot room at the rear. There was everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The property is a litle dated in places, but just right for three people walking the Offas D. Path.

A week at Gipsy Castle Lane
My family and I had a marvellous time at Hay-on-Wye whilst staying at Gipsy Castle Lane. The house was very nice and all we needed was provided for. The interior/design of the house is smashing and the location is perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Andy Dix

Host profile image
I am a furniture designer and maker by trade and I have taken the opportunity to furnish my holiday home with various pieces of my own work. I also enjoy cycling in the fabulous countryside that surrounds Hay-on-Wye, both off road and on the quiet country lanes.
During the warmer months my family and I spend a lot of time in and around the river Wye which is just a short walk from home.
