Location and parking easy. A kettle that was easy to fill under the bathroom tap (a very rare thing!)
Christina

The property is by the river (as the name suggests!) and it was very pleasant to sit outside when we arrived in the late afternoon and enjoy the view. Geraldine was very helpful in terms of arrival, and she also gave us a simple but tasty breakfast.

River Cafe Deli is on pause for this summer whilst we concentrate on other family projects.
A quick "Hello" from me - Geraldine your host at By the River. I live at the property and you'll be choosing to stay as part of my home in your self contained en suite rooms. You will probably bump into me during your stay as I’m host,housekeeper and general fixer of problems ! Can usually be found most evenings out looking after my flowers or on the paddle board if you fancy a chat. I ask that you treat my home as you would your own and ask that you keep noise at a minimum when returning to the property and your room after 11pm. I will confess I can turn into a bossy landlady if the 11pm rule is not respected. To end on a positive note about me I always try to be friendly and on hand for you if you need anything or any info on the local area/what's on during your stay with us.
Guests love the position of our property being right on the riverbank in the village of Glasbury on Wye. We have the Wye Valley walk at the other end of the road and river bridge from us, plus the popular beach area to take a dip in the River Wye. We have the Black Mountains and The Begwyn's hills within a 10 minute drive plus within 35 mins Pen y Fan and the Brecon Beacons and it's National Park. We are on the Lon Las Cycle route and can provide overnight lock up for bicycles. Next to our property you have Wye Valley Canoes (5% discount available for all our guests,speak to a Josh time of booking and be sure to say your our guests)for your canoe trips down the river plus we have two local pubs The Harp or The Old Barn Inn plus Foyles Hotel. Hay on Wye is a 5 minute drive away with local shops plus Brecon or Builth Wells within 30 mins drive.
