“Staying in the Seven Stars Hotel in the main street of Hay was another delight.

This 16th century building retains many original features and all is original charm. Oak

beams, stone walls and quirkily sloping floors give this centrally located hotel its unique

quality. There are two other features of note; the hotel has both a swimming pool and

sauna. If you stay in the ‘pool room’, which we did, drawing back the French doors

allows you to step straight through to the pool area for an early morning swim; delightful.

And better still owner Russell Sime is an accomplished chef who produces breakfasts

that are beyond comparison. A combination of fresh locally sourced produce and

Russell's consummate culinary skills means that breakfast at the Seven Stars is an

experience to treasure.”
