Luxury self-catering accommodation in Michaelchurch Escley
The sleepy village of Michaelchurch Escley idyllically borders the majestic Black Mountain range deep within Herefordshire countryside near Hay-On-Wye.
Cradled by the foothills of the Brecon Beacons National Park and nestled within easy reach of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Michaelchurch Escley is a holiday destination flaunting an abundance of exploration opportunities. If you can tear yourself away from the heart-warming luxury of your self-catering home, don your walking boots and explore the nearby footpaths and bridleways.

Book lovers will enjoy walking the cobbled streets of nearby Hay-on-Wye during the literary festival, perusing assortments of literature hidden in nooks of famous old bookshops.
