"The Bage was a very nice cottage. Very tidy rooms, with soap and towels, hairdryer, well provided kitchen, nice welcoming pack, very beautiful garden. Very friendly hosts, who showed us the newborn lambs on the farm Location very good, 1O minutes from Hay on Wye. A shower would have been great, but a nice bath is also ok.The service of BBHC was very good, fast reply and everything fluently settled. Thank You." Daniel
