About this property

Surrounded by beautiful scenery but just a few minutes' walk from Hay-On-Wye's center, this charming inn has a traditional wooden-beamed bar. Dating back hundreds of years, Oliver Cromwell is rumored to have stayed in the 17th century. The Old Black Lion was voted 'The Best Pub in Powys' and was in the Top 8 for Wales with the 'National Pub & Bar Awards' in 2023. Our award winning 2 AA Rosette restaurant also won the prestigious Good Food Award Gold Seal for 2024. We recommend booking a meal with us via the messaging service so you can enjoy our great food and service before retiring to your room. There is also an option to order a delicious, freshly cooked breakfast using locally sourced produce on arrival or via a message beforehand for just £10pp. Each room is traditional in style, with a carpeted floor and private bathroom. Each also has a flat-screen TV for guests to use, and facilities for making tea and coffee.
