The Agent's House - Stylish self catering B&B/holiday apartment.
Apartment with 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 2, Garden
A stylish and newly renovated yet historic and characterful self contained studio apartment just 5 miles from Hay-on-Wye with own entrance, kitchenette with hob, fridge etc, use of garden, moments walk from village pub. Available as a holiday let or B&B.
Nestled in the beautiful Wye Valley village of Whitney on Wye, five miles from the famous literary town of Hay on Wye, is the charming 'Agent's Office' bed and breakfast with a difference. The B&B has a kitchenette so there is no time slot for breakfast - dine as early or late as you like! We provide a sumptuous breakfast hamper made from fresh local free range ingredients wherever possible. Butchers sausages & bacon, free range eggs (often from our own chickens) and veggie/vegan options always available.
As the name suggests, the accommodation once formed part of the Whitney Court Estate and was originally built as the office for the land agent at the turn of the 20th century.
The Agent's Office is a stylish self contained studio apartment with private entrance. The main room has a grand double height ceiling with fantastic tall arched sash windows, stripped wood flooring and original red herringbone tiles. What is now used as the wardrobe was originally a huge walk in safe and the beautifully crafted safe drawers and cupboards can still be seen, together with the huge hinges on the wall. It contains double bed, smart kitchenette (with hob, fridge, sink etc), cosy armchairs and flat screen tv. In addition there is a gorgeous cast iron log burner for the chillier evenings stocked with logs and kindling. The luxurious shower room also doesn't disappoint. Use is encouraged of the owner's large garden, and we are about 30 seconds walk from the village pub - The Boat Inn, which is a regular stop off for kayakers travelling down the Wye.
As stated the room consists of one double bed but a 'put you up' and/or travel cot are available upon request.
PLEASE NOTE: The property is available weekly or on a b&b basis at the cost of £50 single or £80 double per night.
