Kingfisher House

  • Inn Details

    Kingfisher House is a very comfortable and well-appointed bed and breakfast base for walkers, festival-goers and holidaymakers travelling to the beautiful town of Hay-on-Wye. The house is a comforting mix of old stone walls and beams, and Victorian proportions upstairs. It is an idiosyncratic and pleasing shape, with plenty of quiet corners and peaceful places to sit. Suites have ample crisp bedlinen, towels and toiletries and a television / DVD combination. You are welcome to borrow DVDs from the guest sitting room to watch in bed. Guests have the use of a superb beamed drawing room, with a large log burner, fine pictures, masses of books and boardgames, Sky television and a wide selection of DVDs and music. Breakfast is served in our Dining Hall, around a large table. We serve the traditional full English, cooked by our resident breakfast chef, Malcolm, or if you fancy something lighter try our Continental selections, including fruit compote, local yoghurt, and home-made granola, scones and bread, accompanied by freshly brewed tea and coffee. Come and enjoy the best in relaxed hospitality, a great breakfast, home-baked cakes and comfortable beds.
