Baskerville Hall Hotel

About Baskerville Hall Hotel

Baskerville Hall Hotel sits in its own grounds at Clyro, a village a couple of miles west of Hay-on-Wye, in the stretch of countryside between the town and Brecon. The building's connections to the Baskerville family are often linked to the naming of Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous Sherlock Holmes story, adding a literary footnote to a hotel already close to the country's best-known book town.

The hotel describes itself as guest-house style rather than a formal grand hotel, with bed and breakfast accommodation set within period surroundings, and facilities that have historically included a sauna and grounds used for outdoor activities. It has also served as accommodation for visitors to the Hay Festival, given its proximity to the festival site, and hosts weddings, conferences and private events through the year.

For visitors keen to explore beyond Hay itself, the hotel's position gives quick access to Clyro and the surrounding lanes towards Painscastle and the Begwns, as well as a short drive back into Hay for its bookshops and restaurants. It suits guests who want more space and grounds than a town-centre property can offer, along with the convenience of a car-based stay.
