"Gareth met us on our arrival and guided us up the lanes to the farm where the hut is situated. It is in a meadow high above Hay, with a glorious view across the valley; the only sounds are the birds in the surrounding oak trees and occasional noises from the sheep in the farm. The hut had everything we needed for our stay, so we could enjoy the location in comfort. We hope we will be able to stay there again." Nigel
