Location to town.

The property is old but it was also quite dirty and needed quite a lot of general maintenance and TLC.

The host is very pleasant and genuinely wants guests to have a pleasant experience. The shower is hot and the parking and location are great. However I think a lack of expertise in what standard is expected from a holiday rental is showing through here.

The property is very basic. The outside space in front of the house is unkempt and the clean was not up to standard although I understand there were extenuating circumstances. There is a strong and pervasive musty smell as soon as you open the door. Wood is not provided for the fire nor are there basics provided such as tea towels or kitchen paper. The bed is simply a mattress on a raised wooden platform - no proper bed base and is very low to the ground. Avoid if you have any back issues. The assortment of floor carpets in the main room are stained. The bathroom`s floor is exposed concrete and the back hall is very roughly finished. I am sorry to leave such a negative review but I was very disappointed overall.

Very quaint, original and unique, excellent location. It would be very cosy and lovely in winter with the log burner and great original features.

It was older than I thought and there was no separate bedroom apart from the spare single room but we didn't want to go in there as it was quite separate dark and cold. Everything is in one room which is fine, I just didn't expect it!

very beautiful house and very comfortable!

nothing, we loved it all

The property was in a great location and had all the basics we needed. The little hamper of food and drink there for us was a really lovely touch.

It wasn’t very clean. There were things stated on the listing such as a tv and iron, that weren’t actually there

Super cosy and rustic, fab location

The property lived up to our expectations as a quirky, individual place to stay right in the heart of Hay. It was cozy and homely and we immediately felt at home. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped for a self catered stay. The bed was huge and very comfortable and all the books in the property made for good browsing rather than a telly. Very appropriate for Hay. Tam who lives upstairs is a marvellous host and really helped to make our stay memorable. She'd prepared some welcome essentials for us which was a lovely surprise and was always on hand to ensure we were enjoying our stay without being intrusive. She made our puppy George, very welcome too and he loved her. We would definitely recommend Half Moon house to those of you who are looking for somewhere to stay with real character not a run of the mill bog standard stay. Free parking in Hay is also a big plus! Thanks Tam... Hope to visit again!

We loved our stay at Half Moon house and couldn't fault anything

Location was amazing with parking right outside. It was really hot at the time so this was a haven of coolness! It's quite a quirky place to stay but well equipped and comfortable. Also, no TV which I thought was great!

Nothing of any note.

Leaving was the best part, there is nothing to like about this property.

PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY! I booked this as a birthday present for my mum and all I can say is what a disappointing and appalling property and host. 1. Don't get taken in by the nicely lit images on the website, as the apartment environment is depressing, dirty in part and dingy 2.The reality is that the bed is nothing like the website image, is quite hard and the bed covers are grey and rough and nothing like the soft, satin-like cover on the website. 3. The old furniture could be characterful but I only ventured into a grubby wardrobe and a chest of drawers which had a jumble of 'things' stuffed into them (it felt like a memorial to someone else' life in the room, and hardly an invite to stay). 4. The floor is uneven as described but also the carpets are stained and the floor needs a refresh 5. The dishes you are expected to use are on the floor under a work surface in the kitchen area 6. The main reason we didn't stay is the smell of damp that prevailed over everything, it took us a while to leave its discomfort behind 7. I am aware of the impact of damp and air quality on respiratory illness and would consider this an area that really needs some attention. In addition to this the host will tell you how it’s a ‘bespoke’ style you were warned about and as to the smell?? Well tough luck it rains in Wales. I live in Wales…have done all my life and a damp, stale smell is not something I have to live with. It’s laughable really if my dad wasn’t out of pocket by £360 with no attempt to compromise with the host. Do not bother answering this with lies I hope no-one else feels the way I feel right now you should not be allowed to host properties. Booking.com you really need to regulate your properties…‘different style’ I am fine with but cleanliness I cannot compromise on!!

Being situated on Lion Street was excellent for access to the centre of Hay.

Rather too quirky for us. Bed against the wall was difficult for bathroom visits. Also a small shelf would have allowed a small lamp and overnight glass of water.

We liked the location as it's close to river Wye walks, restaurants and book shops. The property is quiet spacious, it has lots of character and the bed is comfortable.

The kitchen facilities were limited and more utensils for cooking would be useful for self catering. The bed is against a wall so can only be accessed from one side. There is no garden, so not a perfect venue for dog owners but Half Moon house is close to great walks.

Located right in the heart of Hay on Wye, popular pub (a tapas bar) and excellent restaurant on the doorstep. Really lovely old property with oak beams and and comfortable feel. Few mod cons and no TV, which we really liked!

The second bed is a futon type with a fairly thin mattress which was not a problem for me as I’m a good sleeper but others might find it uncomfortable.

Perfect location in town with parking! The house was clean, cozy, comfortable and quirky with everything we needed! The owner was was a call away with any questions and very attentive! We will be returning!

Had absolutely the best stay here in Hay-on-Wye at the Half Moon House! Cannot fault anything, our stay was perfect. The property was super cosy and had a homely feel, Tamara was so sweet and accommodating, and it's situated right in the heart of the town (in the oldest building in Hay which was cool!) There is a great feel to the place and the bed was really comfortable. Plenty to do around, lots of places to eat and drink and shop, and close to lots of places to walk. Would love to visit again! Thanks Tamara :)

No faults whatsoever, only good things to say!

Beautifully central in Hay on Wye - with a parking space! Quiet street. Lovely owner.
