The Old Railway Line Garden Centre in Powys

Really lovely food and friendly staff

Great full English, lovely staff and all clean.

We love the Old Railway! Amazing choices, great staff, good - if very busy - cafe. We always visit when we are staying in the area.

Good family owned centre. Good selection. Shame about not being able to get a hot pasty. Staff very helpful.

What a beautiful garden centre. Loads of plants indoor and outdoor. Christmas decorations are amazing as well.

Garden Centre is a fantastic place to visit, especially during Halloween. They set up amazing decorations and have a haunted room that adds excitement and thrills for all visitors. The place itself is beautiful and well-maintained, offering a wide variety of plants to suit every taste, from common houseplants to rare species for gardening enthusiasts. Additionally, there’s a wonderful farm shop where you can buy fresh produce and local products. If you're looking for a spot to relax and get inspired, Garden Centre is definitely worth a visit!

We both had the full English breakfast and it was tasty and value for money.

Brilliant garden centre with lots to see and do. Had a breakfast at the restaurant which was delicious. Met the goats, donkeys and alpacas. Browsed in the farm and Christmas shops and bought lots of goodies. The Christmas village was absolutely fantastic, must have taken such a long time to put together. The site is quite large but well signposted. Staff are friendly and helpful. The site is dog friendly in many places so met some lovely pooches. New favourite!!

This is an outstanding Garden Centre that stocks high quality products, ok so some prices can be a little on the high side but you get what you pay for. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is clean and sells excellent food. We travel from Hereford to get there and I can tell you it's well worth the trip

Delicious food . I purchased a few beautiful items . Love this place

Excellent service and delicious food from cafe

Good selection of plants and house items, restaurant does get busy but nice

Very overpriced £7.99 for a small bowl of cheesy chips, ciabatta was expensive and lacking. Waiting Staff need to be a bit more amiable, counter staff very pleasant. Otherwise garden centre is lovely.

The best Garden Centre I’ve ever been to and wonderful staff with excellent customer service. So helpful particularly in the shrub section helping me identify and source a specific tree. Thank you again :)

I'd give this purely on Christmas decorations 😆 I've never seen such a large collection. A large well stocked garden centre, farm shop and gift shop. Dog friendly.

1st vist absolutely fab xmas halloween display well.done alot of hard work put in

Great Sunday afternoon outing with the family. Very tidy place, staff very polite and helpful. Beautiful displays to get you in the festive spirit forChristmas, great Halloween themed section too. They have a tea room and a restaurant both were extremely packed. Toilets and disabled toilets were fully stocked and nice and clean. Huge selection of fresh food, frozen food, biscuits, sweets, jams, chutney, eggs, crackers etc. Nice area of clothing with weird fish, Braeburn, trespass etc. Loved the pet section especially Sammy the parrot! Good selection of food wet and dry , treats, toys, grooming and clothing for our fur babies. They also had an aquatic section beautifully laid out. Excellent plants , from trees, succulents , bedding plants, ferns, bulbs, banana plants etc. Water feature section is beautiful. So much to see , a must visit place. The Sunday roast is very popular we was told and taste like homemade cooking. My parents have been before and said the parsnip and apple soup is delicious. Sadly today it was pea and mint so mum bit disappointed. Has a fairly good size carpark but disabled was full, not many disabled spaces however there is an area where you can drop off disabled users as dad did for mum today. Definitely be visiting again, dogs are allowed on leads but not allowed to walk in carpet section area.( small dogs can carry ). Excellent place to visit .

Great shop. Really nice coffee and chilli nachos! Recommended @

Brilliant service with a very high quality things to buy

Lovely place however took over an hour to have food on the table. We weren't the only ones unfortunately

Lovely cafe but waited 40 mins for food which left us no time to look around garden centre. Very disappointed.

Always good courteous service. Food was great too. Had jacket potato with chilli and cheese

Lovely roast dinner, very tasty, bit of a wait but it was very busy, and they did inform me there was a wait, but well worth the wait.

Beautiful place and so much to see

We all love this place lovely food good service lovely staff

Lovely garden centre, with beautiful plants, trees, and accessories for your gardening needs. Lovely gift area and clothes area. The indoor plants and accessories where great. Toilets and great restaurant. Helpful friendly staff. Large accessible car park

Love this place great to see all the different seasons they change the decorations to suit .my grandkids love it when the bring the Xmas decorations out

Lovely place and good food. Excellent service and helpful staff We visit this place everytime we stay in Brecon just love it and there Christmas shop is out of this world. My hubby always has a job to get me out as so much to see. Next exciting show in there will be Halloween can't wait.

We visit the railway garden centre every two month or so from Swansea it’s a lovely drive it takes around 1hr 15 mins. We always enjoy the variety of goods and plants for sale. Lovely seasonal flower displays. Lunch in the restaurant is a delight all food we have tried has been excellent with great service. Fish and chips being our favourites. All plants we have purchased have thrived in our garden, and knowing all plants purchased are guaranteed will give you peace of mind as they can be expensive. Peter & Gill

Popped in after going to Hay on Wye,nice restaurant,a little busy but worth it.

Always a pleasure to visit here. The small tea room at the rear has been refurbished after a few years closed and is pleasant although 3.59 for a 330ml bottle of coke is a bit steep tbh. Quality plants and plenty of varied sections to look at.

We called in whilst on holiday.for a coffee. There were.only 2.or 3 tables taken and there was a rope across so we presumed the café was closed. However they have a.bizarre ritual whereby you are interrogated by a member of staff before being allowed to enter and allocated a table. You are also given a.number for the table even though you have to order and pay at the.counter. The coffee and cake were excellent but it is.not a.comfortable experience. Where we come from is one of the biggest garden centres in the country with a huge restaurant where they manage to cope with customers just walking in and deciding where they want to sit!

'Queen Victoria' ordered Sunday. Plant arrived Tuesday in first class condition. BIG shout out for fantastic customer care. Thank you. Can't wait to see the 'Queen' establish herself!!

Fantastic bacon and sausage roll from the little kiosk outside

Favourite garden centre, especially at Christmas. The food they serve in the restaurant is unreal too.

Super cafe and farm shop but this place is massive and has so much for the garden at some of the best prices I have seen in a harden centre. The staff were all fantastic and really caring too.

Lovely place all seasons! Restaurant, plants, food, gifts good parking, nice korma curry this lunch time.

Amazing garden centre and best Sunday lunch around .

I love coming here, something catches my eye everytime 😍🤣😜

If you're in search of a charming countryside escape filled with horticultural delights, scrumptious local fare, and a healthy dose of tranquility, look no further! Upon arrival, we were greeted by the center's expansive and beautifully diverse array of plants, flowers, and shrubs. Along with genuine smiles from staff who had a genuine desire to make our visit as enjoyable as possible! Nestled amidst the lush greenery and vibrant blooms of the Garden Centre is a charming restaurant which it seems has quickly become a local favourite, it offered a delightful menu of specialty coffee, expertly-crafted cakes, and other irresistible treats. The farm shop has a lovely rustic-chic ambiance that makes it a joy to linger and browse. Cozy wooden shelves, chalkboard signage, and plentiful samples which created a warm, welcoming atmosphere. So wether you're looking to stock up on weekly essentials, seeking unique gift ideas, or simply want to enjoy the charm of a true local institution, The old railway line garden centre is a true gem in the heart of the Welsh countryside. A fantastic few hours had by all! Thank you.

Plenty of choice on many items and very helpful staff

Lovely place with loads to offer

Quality goods, decent food, a little bit expensive, but overall very good.

Somewhat disappointed with the breakfast, although well presented, the bacon and sausage were overcooked and cold. On hindsight I should have raised this issue and taken it back so that the matter could be resolved. However I was taken back at the price of two small bottles of coke which cost over £6.50.

Alway a treat this time of the year. Restaurant busy but little coffee shop through pet shop was lovely. Yummy cake and hot coffee. Christmas decor really spectacular.

Very nice garden centre with good selection of flowers and plants. Good choice of breakfast in the restaurant, the glamorgan breakfast being especially good. Farm shop on site is an added bonus.

Lovely breakfast a long weight though

A wonderful place from the plants to the amazingly helpful staff. Great food and local made products.

Lovely shop and restaurant - been many times before. Lunch with my daughter today - good food, excellent service

Well worth a visit, fantastic place

Great place for a breakfast around Hay on Wye

A great place to pop in and enjoy a look around. So much more than a garden centre!! Great ideas, reasonable prices. Local produce. Fabulous food at the restaurant. We will be back

Lovely dog friendly coffee shop and really nice garden centre

A favourite place of ours. Great plants, good cafe. Friendly, helpful staff.

Absolutely love visiting this beautiful garden centre. It has everything you could think of and more. The food in the cafe is delicious and the staff are always friendly and helpful 😁

Nice enough , didn't find much from any other garden center but all was really well looked after and set out beautifully. Inside is a bit twee and over visually merched and over stocked. If it hasn't sold in a year , it's taking up valuable retail space. Super lovely staff

Honestly, a fortune must have been spent on this place since it's inception. Too commercial for us now and the prices for everything seem astonishing to us. However, if you want a warm welcome and a plant in tip top condition, this is your venue. Be warned... One toasted sandwich (two slices of bread, a slice of cheese, one lettuce leaf and half a tomato) was £8.99. perhaps we should get out more!

Stopped off for lunch. Great award winning garden centre with a large cafe, smaller dog-friendly cafe and sandwich bar on the car park. Food is exceptional and the staff are organised, hard working and helpful. Wish I could visit more often instead of just passing through.

Thought plants are very expensive, and the restaurant again expensive was good but not exceptional, staff was very helpful

Popped in for sandwich....only to leave with a cook frozen veggy lasagna and a new 5m retractable dog lead. Sandwich was great. Well worth the visit.

Always amazing food . Good welcome . Disabled friendly . Super menu . Fresh, home cooked food

Lovely garden centre and restaurant.

Fantastic garden centre had sunday lunch there it was great would recommend a trip. Loads of offers and half price planters and plant pots

Visited this amazing restaurant today for afternoon tea, Unbelievably delicious, You get to chose what fresh sandwiches you want made plus pick your own cakes from the patisserie, Ample tea and coffee plus plenty of fresh fruit, One of the best afternoon tea ever.

Great staff,friendly,very welcoming,always pleased to help.

I/ we, rarely leave reviews on websites but feel compelled to do so on this occasion. We happened to call into the garden centre at Bronllys whilst passing through on our return journey from holiday. The food and drink in the café is excellent 👌 with very friendly staff and there'sa great range of plants and all manner of other things available. However, the best part of our visit was meeting and talking to an EXTREMELY helpful and HIGHLY knowledgeable member of the garden team, whose name is Jay. His friendly and helpful approach made us feel completely at ease and totally comfortable in being able to ask for him for advice and guidance on plant selections and also how to propagate some of our existing plants at home. Jay is an amazing ambassador for Bronllys garden centre and no doubt a highly valued member of the team. Every garden centre and nursery in the UK should have a Jay working for them. Perhaps he could be propagated and cloned and then shared. A massive thank you Jay as we are now following you advice and guidance. N.B. Bronllys OWNERS/ management. This employee is an EXEMPLARY example of how anyone could and should be in their place of employment and indeed in life generally. You should be VERY proud and honoured to have him working alongside you. Many thanks for a great visit overall. We will return and we will hopefully get to speak to meet an speak to Jay again. Wynn and Helen

Wonderful choice of all types of plants, and pots, it's got a great restaurant and cafe with home cooked meals. It has a farm shop that is well stocked...(but never enough of the gorgeous large plain pork pies) And an extensive range of garden furniture and accessories. Great day out!

Amazing service. Ordered a rambling rose which arrived in great condition ( beautifully packed by Don!) It's an excellent specimen and we are really pleased with the service.

Great brunch at a very reasonable price.

Our 49th Anniversary cancelled due to major car engine failure..kind neighbours invited us join them on drive to ORL for breakfast. We usually lunch there, the lasagne is best for miles. The colours and displays were magnificent, the staff are friendliest and although sad we weren't eating in Tenby Harbour the ORL was a wonderful consolation surprise😂

So many beautiful plantscrumptious! In eye catching scenes and many fun trinkets to consider for garden & home! The ice cream was scrumptous!

This is a super garden centre that deserves its many accolades. Set in various sections within the building itself, there is so much variety of plants and shrubs, an excellent restaurant, a large selection of garden equipment and furniture, an aquatic centre, a farm shop and a sprawling department type store. There is ample parking available. The best part of all is the outstandingly friendly and helpful staff. They are accessible and knowledgeable, and nothing is too much trouble for them, Everyone we met had a smile on their face, so it was a delight to shop there. Well done 👏👏👏

That's some expensive ice cream.

Ordered 2 roses online. So pleased with them, they are beautiful plants and packed so well by Jack

Always a beautiful place to visit, with very creative displays for every season. The cafe serves great meals and has a gorgeous array of scrumptious cakes. All the staff in both the garden centre and cafes are helpful and polite, and go out of their way to help.

Myself and my mother love coming here for a day out. The cafe is always great and the choice in the shop is fabulous

Quirky garden centre but has lots of great things and delicious food. Has a dog friendly cafe

A great place to find all you could ever want for home or garden.

Our beloved tortoiseshell cat, Emma, passed away on 1 June. We bury our cats at home. I then buy a cat figure that looks as close to each to put on the grave with a picture. I thought I would never find a tortoiseshell cat figure but I did, advertised by this company !! To be honest, I dreaded dealing with goods coming from China etc. It was just so refreshing to find a British company that sold British. And what matters equally, it wasn't cheap rubbish. It is superbly made and looks exactly like Emma. I had excellent communication from the company. I felt my needs were listened to and I, as a customer, was cared for . In this day and age of fast technology, lack of communication with each other any more, it was wonderful to deal with a family business who put work and people first. Thank you so much. I highly recommend this company.

Huge garden centre with many plants, garden ornaments, and everything else you can think of for your garden.

Great garden centre and restaurant.

We had a full English breakfast and it was excellent 🤩 the café is on the 1st floor in the middle of a shop. Surrounded by linen offerings and clothing we had a nice time. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We can only recommend the café. 🤗

Nice selection of plants at a reasonable price. Cream scone in the coffee shop is delicious and worth a visit on it's own

Came to visit the garden centre after heading good things about it. We had Sunday lunch. The food was very nice and came out quickly. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Will definitely come again.

Excellent garden centre with friendly helpful staff. Huge plant selection with quality products and great selection of gifts and farm shop. Lovely restaurant and tea rooms. Coffee ,Doughnuts and ice creams in the excellent railway express. Fab.

An award-winning garden centre with a vast variety of plants and trees aswell as home and food products. There is a café with toilets on site and a free car park. The centre has a loyalty program.

Called in for a coffee as we were passing through, massive place brilliant place for any gardener at any level, had absolutely everything you would ever need. Staff were very friendly and obliging.

Staff super helpful, well lauid out and presented. Coming back to try the dinner.

Better than any garden centre I have seen. Endless variety of stock gifts and food produce as well as everything for the garden. It also has a famous cafe and restaurant which people love from miles around.

Excellent place, had everything you need for the garden. Has three restaurants all very reasonable priced. Place is well worth a visit

Great place ...so colourful with the abundance of healthy beautiful plants and shrubs ..didn't have food but as so many people recommended it I will definitely have some on my next visit

Very nice garden centre with café good selections of shrubs trees and pot plants and more

Fully accessible. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fantastic cafe/restaurant

Great customer service and good choice of plants and garden furniture.. Have a break in the restaurant before making your way out through the shop. A good place for a couple of hours visit.

What a little gem! We were looking for a garden centre near our new caravan site at Llangorse lake and we’ve definitely found our new regular garden centre. Great variety of literally everything!

Service very good nice polite staff

Wonderful place, I had no idea it was so big. Like a tardis. Great cafe, clothes, pet foods and a real live parrot, gifts, food, and a lovely garden centre full of great plants. Very helpful staff. Looking forward to going back.

Excellent fantastic relaxing day out with excellent food can't recommend high enough

I deliver stationery to this company and I have always found the staff to be very happy and enjoy working there.Well done to Huw and his lovely team.

First time at the Old Railway Garden Centre and wont be the last, worth the 27 mile trip from Hereford. 5 Stars for the Quality of the plants. 5 Stars for the friendliest of staff. 5 Stars for the shopping experience. The food was great value for money, be prepared to queue though...its a very busy dining area but it's a fair system that they use.
