We also see reunions, milestone birthday and anniversaries plus walkers, cyclists, canoeists, gardeners and those who enjoy an active holiday. Book very early indeed for Hay Festival and prime holiday dates.
Monnington House is a wonderful venue for a family and friends gathering.
The house is beautifully decorated with comfortable and stylish furnishings and overall provides a warm and welcoming space.
The kitchen is very well-equipped with ample crockery, cutlery, cookware, glasses for a large group as well as two ovens, two hobs, an Aga stove, two dishwashers and all in a space large enough for a number of chefs.
All bedrooms are beautifully appointed with extremely comfortable beds and the roomy bathrooms, each with their own style, providing plenty of hot water for a large group.

This was our second year at Monnington, a group of 17 friends, now hitting 70. The location is perfect, there is so much to do, visiting gardens, walking, visiting Hay and Hereford and just enjoying the garden and facilities at Monnington itself. The house is very comfortable and really well equipped, generous amounts of crockery, glass, cookware etc.. Nothing is skimpy, there are pictures, rugs, ornaments that make it all feel homely and cared for, but neutral enough that it doesn't feel like someone else's home. Also generous staples and treats left in all 3 houses. Anna and her team are qui...more
A group of Australians chose Monnington House & the cider barn next door for a weeks stay in May 2025, to get access to a daily visit to the Hay on Wye writers festival.
The house came with incredible instructions on what to expect, and we were not disappointed. The kitchen & dining room were so well stocked with crockery, cutlery, glassware etc. the bedrooms all have beautiful linen, and each room has a bathroom.
We honestly felt very spoilt, and to top it off used the recommended chef to come in twice during our stay to cook an evening meal!
Sadly weather didn’t permit us using the outdoo...more
This is a very comfortable and beautifully decorated house, with three bedrooms and three ensuites. There is plenty of hot water, heated towel rails in all the bathrooms and very comfortable beds and sheets. The Mill has a well equipped kitchen and there is a lovely garden with plenty of seating. There is a lovely farm shop about 4 minutes drive from the Mill and it is 10 miles from Hay on Wye, driving through lovely countryside. I would highly recommend this property. Deborah
