Bartrums & Co Ltd

I had a mad dash three hours in Hay-on-Wye and wished it was forever. I asked at one of the bookshops about a store I could find fountain pen ink and was directed here. A kind welcome when I walked in and was directed downstairs for the inks.
And suddenly I was in heaven.
I kid you not, the best selection of fountain pens and inks I’ve ever seen in one place.
I visited for the bookstores but fell in love with Bartrums. ❤

Great customer service beautifully wrapped photo album I bought. When my original item was out of stock a personalized email was sent to me apologizing and directing me to an alternative choice..

I purchased a beautiful Kaweco fountain pen back in September. Sadly, once returning home, I realised that the tines were misaligned. I contacted Bartrum's who replied straight away to let me know they would send me out a replacement nib for my pen in the post, which arrived within a matter of days. Amazing customer service and I absolutely will be back next time we visit! Thanks again :) Lauren

A fabulous shop for anyone who loves notebooks, sketchbooks and anything else connected with drawing and writing.

Super helpful and friendly, planning on returning tomorrow for more inks

I received my diary yesterday, this company keeps you in touch with emails to let you know what is happening. When it arrived I was amazed at the care and quality that has gone into packing this product, from a beautifully wrapped packet in brown paper and string, even a small clip to attach the receipt to. Well done Bartrums, you have converted me into a life long customer. I cannot recommend you highly enough.

Ultimate Wonder for stationery fans

Just lovely. It's a gorgeous little shop if you're lucky enough to be in Hay on Wye. If not, your order arrives promptly and beautifully packed, wrapped with brown paper and string, inside the outer wrapping.

Fab little shop, with all you could ever need stationary wise. Staff were very helpful and shared own personal knowledge regarding pens and inks. Have also used their online facility and services were excellent. Worth a visit to the shop!

Ordered some blackwing pencils.
Dispatched same day, arrived next day. And nicely wrapped. Happy.

Crazily good stationary shop! Situated right in the heart of the town. The staff are really friendly, and the produce on sale is top quality! I also buy pens here when I'm in the area. Highly recommend

Lovely range of pens and stationery and intriguing art and craft supplies. Badges, stickers, postcards ... for anyone with an uncontrolled love of these kinds of things this is a gorgeously risky place to visit!

Love this shop and on today's visit staff were particularly pleasant and helpful. Love everything about it but particularly, coloured inks and fountain pens.

Wonderful shop, friendly, with a surprisingly broad range of treats and drawing essentials.So lucky to have it in Hay.

Excellent service, good prices, order put up for collection to coincide with another appt in Hay on Wye

Lovely shop with a big range of items. Always have to pop in when visiting Hay!

2B or not 2B? If that is the question, they have the answer.
Don't go downstairs unless you want to come home poorer. Serious stuff. Nib nirvana. Pencil paradise.

Outstanding service. A go-to shop to browse and choose something for yourself or buy someone a gift.

Lots of variety for such a cosy shop. Staff were very friendly.

My nearest and dearest pen & ink emporium...i love it!!
