Stone House Wales

Nestled in a lush valley bordered by the Black Mountains, this former drovers' inn is separated from Hay-on-Wye by a six-mile single-track road. It retains a homely charm, boasting flagstone floors, slate walls and open fires. Unfussy, ingredient-led cooking is natural, wholesome and full of flavour, with meats from the owners’ farm, homemade charcuterie and a traditional roast on Sundays. Low intervention wines feature alongside a fine selection of beers. Book one of the cabins to allow more time for countryside exploring.
