Spanning four floors, Belle Vue boasts well-designed living spaces that cater to a variety of needs.

Exploring the local area is a must, with Hay on Wye renowned for its numerous bookshops and the famous literary festival.

After a day of adventure, visitors can relax at the stylish Booth cinema, enjoy a drink while celebrity spotting at the Swan Hotel or the historic Three Tuns pub, or savor a meal at Tomatitos Tapas bar, which is perfect for larger groups. The recently restored Hay Castle also offers a glimpse into local history and culture.
For those looking to venture further afield, Brecon is a short drive away, where guests can enjoy a serene walk along the Brecon Canal Basin and visit the centrally-located Brecon Tap for refreshments. In the opposite direction lies the cathedral city of Hereford, home to the stunning Hereford Cathedral, the intriguing Black and White House Museum, and the opportunity to tour the Museum of Cider for a unique tasting experience.
