This was a wonderful apartment in a great central location. The kitchen was high quality, including a washer/dryer and sturdy pottery tableware. There were both a shower and a bathtub and good quality soaps and shampoos. The heat in the apartment...

This is an incredible place, one of those where the pictures (which are already great) don’t do it justice. Super spacious, loads of light coming in, amazing location, well equipped (everything you need and then the things you don’t know you need...

Great apartment in the centre of the town, very comfortable and well equipped. Clear instructions for check in and check out and we were able to unload and load easily outside before parking at Oxford Street carpark (£11.60 for 2 nights/2days)...

The pre communication and information sent to us was superb. The location is excellent and the property itself is exemplary, we loved it, and had a great few days in Hay for the festival. The little touches are great - single oat milk and semi...

The apartment is tastefully decorated, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The location is so central, yet peaceful. A truly delightful stay!

Ben
Rooftops is clean, bright and right in the centre of Hay on Wye. I have hand-picked the furniture, bedding and kitchenware to create a comfortable and stylish place to stay. Having stayed in many holiday lets, I have carefully thought about the things that have made my own stays great or not. Things like how comfortable the bed is, having a set of sharp knives, and good lighting. These are not huge details, but things that I think are important and make a difference.
My name is Ben. I have been living and working in the local area for just over 20 years and love spending time in Hay. I am a musician and work in meadow conservation. I have two daughters in their early twenties, who are keen to travel and see the world.
Whilst Hay is a pretty quiet town, there is a buzz on market day and it becomes quite busy during the famous Hay Festival. From 'Rooftops' you can be right in the centre of what's going on, but still have a peaceful stay. Access to all the shops and cafes is just a short stroll away and the castle is just next door. Pop out for an ice cream at Shepherds ice cream parlour, coffee at The Old Electric Shop, a beer at Tomatitoes tapas bar or walk by the river to The Warren for swimming.
