The number one choice for high quality food and a pub with rooms in Hay-on-Wye; the Old Black Lion has an endearing old-world vibe. Legend has it that Oliver Cromwell sojourned here while the Roundheads besieged Hay Castle, and you can’t blame him for making himself comfortable among the inn’s dark beams and welcoming hospitality – things that remain in place today! There is a warm, friendly atmosphere throughout, with ‘boots and paws’ welcome in the Lions Den. Outside there is plenty of space to
sit and relax and soak up the quaint atmosphere of the surrounding Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons. The Old Black Lion is the ultimate destination for walkers, cyclists, canoeists, music lovers and book-browsers who are looking for the best quality food and ale in town. They welcome collaboration with other local businesses and Chamber members, offering a great dining experience along with comfortable stay in a wonderful part of the world! www.oldblacklion.co.uk
