“Great value for money, very comfortable and lovely hosts.”

Great little B&B, absolutely spotless room and the DIY breakfast was fabulous.

“A hidden gem - perfect little B&B, loved it! ♥”

This place is an absolute little gem!! We were only staying one night and Sound of the River was perfect. Dai/David, the owner, was very friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive. There were plenty of facilities in the B&B, including tea, coffee, milk, bread, cold meats, Babybel cheese and other breakfast goods - not forgetting fresh fruit and chocolate!! We loved everything about this place and will definitely use it every time we visit Hay on Wye ☺ No complaints about anything there, even the sound of the traffic didn't bother us. Only thing I would have liked is maybe a little flip up shelf on the wall next to the bed to hold things like a glass of water etc but not a major issue. Also, because I'm a clumsy person, I laid out a towel over the little step into the kitchen/bathroom area - which I do in other hotels, just to remind myself that there's a step ;) Sound of the River was perfect for someone like me who enjoys birdwatching as there were dozens of red kites soaring above us as we sat out on the patio. Amazing value for money and just a short walk up the road to the Bridge End Inn which does excellent food and has a warm welcome too.

“Loved waking up to the sound of the Red Kites and of course the river! Peaceful, immaculate, comfortable property.”

We said we’d return and we did! Perfect location for exploring Talgarth and Hay-on-Wye. The property is immaculate and very comfortable. Great selection of breakfast foods. Good communication from hosts. Think this is going to be a regular place we return to when we visit Hay-on-Wye!

“Superb”
