Set in secluded woodland beside a gently flowing waterfall, Mill Cottage is an immaculately restored cottage on the banks of the River Wye near Hay on Wye in Wales. This is a cosy, luxurious and romantic rural bolthole made just for two. Inside, traditional features like the large fireplace, exposed stonework and oak flooring blend seamlessly with every modern convenience and indulgence. Outside, perry pear orchards, hedgerows and oak woodland overlook the River Wye, Hay and the famous Black Mountains beyond. Whether you're here for romance, nature or outdoor pursuits Mill Cottage will provide a truly unique and memorable holiday.
One of our collection of luxury holiday cottages, Mill Cottage is situated on the Cabalva Estate, a family-run sheep and beef farm within a beautiful tranquil setting - their pasture-fed Aberdeen Angus beef is sold to some of the UK's top restaurants. Guests are welcome to buy some of the beef and have a tour of the farm. There is a potting studio on the estate where you can have pottery lessons. Also on site you can do private fly fishing on the Wye, the estate has a ghillie who can offer lessons 1:1 or in a small group.
The countryside around here is nothing short of breath-taking and there is much to explore. The fields around the house are full of wildlife, from sheep and hares to woodcock, hedgehogs, robins and red kites, or you could head down to famous Offa's Dyke and walk up into the hills or down to the river. The famous book town of Hay-on-Wye is just 3 miles away, and in the area you can also go cycling, riding, canoeing and fishing. And if you don’t want to self-cater there are lots of excellent places to eat and drink – The Bridge at Whitney on Wye (5 mins drive) or Tomatitos in Hay-on-Wye itself.
