The Severn Bridge (Welsh: Pont Hafren), sometimes also called the Severn–Wye Bridge, is a motorway suspension bridge spanning the River Severn and River Wye between Aust, South Gloucestershire (just north of Bristol) in England, and Chepstow, Monmouthshire in South East Wales, via Beachley, Gloucestershire, a peninsula between the two rivers. It is the original Severn road crossing between England and Wales and took three and half years[3] to construct at a cost of £8 million.[4] It replaced the Aust ferry.

The bridge was opened on 8 September 1966, by Queen Elizabeth II, who hailed it as the dawn of a new economic era for South Wales. The bridge was granted Grade I listed status on 26 November 1999.[5]

From 1966 to 1996, the bridge carried the M4 motorway. Upon the completion of the Second Severn Crossing, the motorway from Olveston (England) to Magor (Wales) was renamed the M48.

"Apartment right next door to Assembly Rooms, so very central. Exactly as pictured by website. Very nicely decorated. Beds very comfortable. Just be aware that on second floor with 4 flights of stairs, so not great for those with mobility issues. Also as above restaurant/bar can be noise from customers at closing time. All in all would recommend as perfect for our girls weekend."

"Beautiful, clean accommodation in a quiet, peaceful location with plenty of space. Especially the kitchen is very well equipped, everything you could need. We felt very comfortable and could easily do some day trips from there. Just one comment: It would be great if there were more hangers for towels and a bigger shelf in the bathroom."
