This is, far and away, the very best place for coffee in Hay-on-Wye. The food, service and location are ideal for getting some peace, bird watching, river spuddling, woodland exploring... This place has it all. Idyllic, wonderful café.

What a gem! We visited today with our two boys and had a wonderful time. The cafe itself is just so beautiful and the views over the river are stunning. There's also a place to paddle and play by the river and various rustic playgrounds and enticing areas for children (and adults!) to explore. We walked all the way to the glamping tents which are stunning- our boys both want to come back and stay now! The chap in the cafe was so warm and friendly. It was like being greeted by an old friend! Highly recommend.

Stumbled upon this spot purely looking on google maps and wanting to be near the review. The views and the owners did not let us down. Food options are limited but they have only just opened so this is understandable! The drinks and cake we had were lovely! Will recommend and return

We loved our visit to this beautiful spot. The service was brilliant, we were made to feel so welcome. Coffee was great and the cake delicious. The real bonus if this place is the lovely meadow play area which has been thoughtully stocked with games and toys, there is even a little 'beach' where you can paddle in the Wye.
