Moccas Court is very different. Our guests talk of very high standards combined with a relaxed family home. You couldn't find a more tranquil retreat from the busy world outside.

We have no spa or gym. You may even have to stand in the drive to get mobile phone reception. But the surroundings amply overcompensate, "a genuine haven for countryside,wildlife lovers and the physically active."

The 5 spectacular bedrooms are all decorated to the highest standard and provided with top-quality ensuite facilities. Furnishings are restrained, echoing the period and style of the house. The rooms all have beautiful views over the grounds and the surrounding countryside.(Unfortunately they are not suited to those unable to climb stairs.)

Situated as it is in an area of extraordinary natural beauty, and so close to the Brecon Beacons National Park, guests will never be short of things to do. Equally, Moccas is a great place to relax and unwind for those that are feeling less energetic. Nowhere is more conducive to a rewarding stay and a good night's sleep.

We hope you will find your visit as memorable as all those who have stayed here in the past, from 1785 through to the present day, but especially since Moccas Court became what it is today.

Things to see and do


Cycling

Cycle touring in the Welsh borders....plenty for the hill climbers and flat cyclist. No better place in Britain to cyle. Hay on Wye is a good place to hire if need be.

Canoeing

Sitting right on the River Wye, Moccas Court makes the ideal staging post...albeit a luxurious one. We specialise in taking canoeists who like their creature comforts. There are numerous canoe hire firms in Hay on Wye to chose from.

Hill and river side walking.

The Black Mountains, the Brecon Beacons are all unspoilt areas of wild hill and mountain. And then there's the 'Daddy of them all', Pen-Y-Fan, only a short drive away; always guaranteed to walk off last night's dinner.

The Usk and Wye river footpaths make for riverside walks of a less challenging nature. Here, on the Welsh borders, we really are spoilt for choice.

Castles, ancient Churches and Museums.

Welshpool Castle, Goodrich Castle, Raglan Castle are all nearby, and many obscure and fascinating ruins as well.

You can also visit the ancient churches in this area, perhaps starting with our own Norman church at Moccas and then maybe winding down the Golden valley to Abbey Dore.

For museums, we have Hereford's Mappa Mundi Museum close by. At Brecon we have the Museum of the Royal Welsh Borderers.

Our policy on Children

Moccas Court is not ideally suited to children but we welcome those over the age of 16. We do not offer special children's meals.

Are dogs welcome?

Dogs may not be brought into the house, but provided that guests take care with livestock, they may be walked in our grounds.


During January, February and March, Moccas Court is closed Sunday - Wednesday.
