Had a wonderful stay in Woodpecker room at Bron Hafren! 5 stars all round – comfortable, clean and homely. Beautiful garden, and right on the river Severn. Lovely view of fields too. Debbie is a great host and wonderfully accommodating. Cannot recommend this B&B enough!

Hostess Debbie looked after us very well with a cooked breakfast every morning. Our room was bright, fresh and clean with a refreshing shower en suite. Great location in the heart of Wales.

Bed & Breakfast

I spent only one night at Bron Hafren but that was sufficient for me to say that it was one of the best B and Bs that I have ever stayed in. Debbie is such a lovely hostess who, clearly, enjoys and takes pride in her role and in her immaculate – yet serenely welcoming – home. Wonderfully comfy bed, quality bedding, the biggest and fluffiest bath sheet, resulted in a blissful night’s sleep.
