We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Mt Hay. The hosts are super responsive, friendly and do their upmost to make the stay really special. Absolutely stunning views you cant beat over Berry and the ...rooms and fit out is beautiful and well appointed. The heated pool and spa is massive and there is a swing up the hill which has breath taking views over the valley. Highly recommend!
