A very comfortable stay
We had an excellent stay at the Three Cocks Hotel. The hotel is very well furnished, exceptionally clean, super comfortable, and cosy.
Jessica and the team were very helpful and accommodating - the breakfast was lovely.
Location-wise it was perfect to get into Hay-on-Wye by car and taxi (but do book ahead of time).

Fantastic hotel, really atmospheric and cosy, we sat up late in the panelled lounge chatting, perfect venue for friends to catch up.
Breakfast was cooked to order and really delicious.

The B&B was a last minute booking to break a journey up. So glad we selected this property.
The house was very well presented. Rooms had everything you could need including plenty of space. We opted for breakfast and that was excellent value.
Despite the property being located next to a busy main road it was really well insulated for sound with very little to no disturbance.
The area had lots of routes and walks plus the pub opposite was really hospitable for an evening meal and drink.

Lovely country b&b with full of character. Paying extra for breakfast was worthwhile where all dietary needs are catered for. Convenient pub across the road for an evening meal.

Short break away from the kids!
Great trip to the 3 Cocks! Lovely room, very clean - with everything you need. Good welcome when we arrived. Breakfast was cooked to order and very good value. Ingredients were great quality. Everything cooked to perfection - poached eggs specifically! Would recommend and would stay again.

A beautiful hotel with so much character and charm. No floor was straight and the walls thick with history!! Beautifully kept and decorated to a tasteful high standard. The welcome was warm. The team were helpful friendly and fun. Everything felt opulent and quirky. The breakfast was delicious. The sausage and bacon were a high quality meat. Cooked to perfection. Not too fatty ( which I hate). The coffee was a decent strength and seemingly endless ( a little like this review ?!!).
One thing I’d change a nearby evening meal but if fairness Hay is only a 5 min drive away.
Only fault was …. Where’s the ghost ?!! Didn’t see one and the 3 Cocks must be haunted !!!! Loved it there and will be returning and recommending to others

This is the ideal B&B! It was a wonderfully maintained property. It was historic yet clean, nicely decorated and everything in working order. The property is beautiful and the kind of place we could have stayed for much longer. The owners and family were involved in their business and made us feel very welcome starting with the text messages before our arrival confirming when we'd arrive so they'd be prepared for us to the conversation with us at breakfast helping with things to do in the area as well as the rest of our first visit to Wales. Only wish all the places we stayed at during our visit to Wales were like this one! We highly recommend staying at this property!! So far all the sight seeing recommendations were spot on! Thanks for them and your wonderful hospitality!!

Comfortable and clean and smartly decorated with a good modern bathroom. Good breakfast and friendly staff. All good.
I've left off a star on staff simply because the hotel seems to be generally unmanned so if anything were needed and not obviously available (eg replenish tea bags) it might be difficult. But we had no such issues.
Ditto left off a star on facilities as this is currently a B&B without restaurant but there is the Old Barn over the road (but not every day) and maybe the restaurant will reopen one day.
But bottom line is we had a great stay!

Stayed one night at the Three Cocks. It's a charming property and immaculately clean. The staff were lovely and very welcoming. The breakfast was perfectly sized and very tasty. My only gripe was the lack of water pressure in the shower, but it certainly wouldn't put me off booking again. I look forward to staying again next time I am in the area. Many thanks.

The building was historically interesting and set in a lovely garden. There was some building work and renovation going on which meant the carpark was not as big due to building materials etc. The wifi was non existant which meant we could not watch any TV or use the wifi on our phones / laptop. The twin room was very small with no drawers or wardrobe to store clothes. There was a small rail suitable for hanging 'short clothing! The single beds were comfortable. The tea and coffee tray was ok and there was a biscuit and sachet of hot chocolate per person. The staff were friendly. I think the price was expensive for what we got.

The loveliest, most accommodating hosts. We arrived early and were going to just drop our bags off due to needing to rush to a wedding, but they had our room ready so we could freshen up first, amazing service and so friendly
