Riverbank Bed and Breakfast is a biker friendly, licensed guest house in Mid Wales, and is situated on the banks of the River Irfon in the centre of Llanwrtyd Wells - Britain's smallest town famed for its hosting of unusual sporting events such as bog-snorkelling and the Man v Horse marathon. Riverbank Bed and Breakfast was completely renovated in 2020-21 and all rooms have new en-suites. Each of our rooms is individually styled and furnished, and some have views of the river - one of which is on the ground floor. We have a licensed bar and outdoor terrace for the exclusive use of our guests (and their friends or family). We offer indoor overnight storage for bikes and motorcycles with wash down facilities.
Denise and Tony are your hosts at Riverbank Bed and Breakfast and look forward to meeting you. We have lived in Llanwrtyd for many years and can offer plenty of knowledge of local attractions and places to visit, as well as local history and culture. Tony is a volunteer at the Llanwrtyd Heritage and Arts centre - a converted chapel with interactive displays telling the story of the town along with monthly art and craft exhibitions showcasing local artists work
Llanwrtyd Wells is set in the Cambrian mountains and is popular with walkers and mountain bikers. We are only 20 minutes drive from the Royal Welsh showground which hosts many events throughout the year, including the Royal Welsh show in July. We can recommend some stunning scenic drives and this area is popular with classic car, sports car and motorcycle clubs. There are many interesting towns within an hour's drive, such as Brecon, Hay-on-Wye, Carmarthen and Llandeilo amongst others. Llanwrtyd has a station on the scenic Heart of Wales train line, approximately half way between Swansea to the south and Shrewsbury to the north and there several attractive small towns along the line in either direction.
