Fodor's Expert Review The Swan

Church St., Hay-on-wye, Powys, HR3 5DQ, Wales

Once a coaching inn, this sophisticated lodging on the edge of town retains its sense of history. Rooms are decorated in country-chic style and furnished with antiques; specially commissioned art featuring flowers adorn the walls. The restaurant serves hearty Welsh breakfasts and good-quality Modern British food at lunch and dinner. When the weather's nice, the small garden is a lovely spot for an evening drink.
