1 / 24Chancery Lane Cottage
Hay-on-Wye, Powys
Chancery Lane Cottage is a character cottage in the heart of Hay-on-Wye for four, with a wood-burning stove, an enclosed courtyard garden with a warm water dog wash and two dogs welcome.
Step out of Chancery Lane Cottage and the whole of Hay-on-Wye is on the doorstep: bookshops, arts and crafts, a weekly farmers market and Hay Castle. This dog friendly character cottage blends old-world charm with modern comfort, sleeps four with two dogs alongside, and keeps a dog wash hose with warm water out in its enclosed garden.
Inside, the open-plan ground floor is full of warmth and character with a contemporary twist. A majestic wood-burning stove casts its glow over reclaimed wooden floors and comfortable seating for four, with a Smart TV, a vinyl record player and a DAB radio for the evenings, and before long both dogs are dozing in that glow. The bespoke kitchen has custom-made cabinetry in keeping with the cottage's rustic style, and a dining table and chairs for meals together.
Next to the kitchen, a spacious shower room has a generous double shower. Upstairs, two bedrooms are finished with plush furnishings and tasteful decor, the larger with a super-king-size bed, a Smart TV and a front aspect. Out at the back, the courtyard garden is private and peaceful, with a table where breakfast coffee and evening meals happen, and the warm water hose means two muddy dogs are clean before they come back inside.
Beyond the town lies the Brecon Beacons National Park, a haven for hikers, cyclists and their dogs. The meandering Wye offers leisurely walks, wild swimming, kayaking and riverside picnics, and Hay Bluff and Twmpa offer a challenging climb with wildlife and wide views. Back in town, the traditional pubs and eateries serve local food in the evening.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Chancery Lane Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Chancery Lane Cottage welcomes dogs. The cottage has been set up with them in mind — there are reclaimed wooden floors throughout the ground floor, a small enclosed garden, and a garden hose with warm water for washing muddy paws and coats after a walk.
Are dogs allowed at Chancery Lane Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions, and the setup of the cottage — warm dog wash hose, wood burner, easy-clean floors — suggests it's very much built for year-round use with dogs. For confirmation, it's always worth checking directly with the host when you book.
What should I know before visiting Chancery Lane Cottage with my dog?
Up to two dogs are welcome, and the ground floor is well suited to them coming back wet — there's a hose in the garden with warm water to rinse them off, and reclaimed wooden floors that take the mud in their stride. The garden is small and enclosed, so useful for a quick run around without worrying about escape routes. The Wye Valley path heading west out of town towards Glasbury is the obvious local walk, flat and river-side with easy water access for dogs along the way.
