As with the Bradford Arms in nearby Knockin, the pub's name stems from the fact that the Earl of Bradford owned much of the land hereabouts. The front room splits into a bar and lounge area, whilst to the rear, a large conservatory becomes the dining room. The old photographs of the locality and the wallpaper give a rather pub a rather pleasant retro feel. The current owner took over in 2007 and is a fount of local knowledge. There's a set of old-fashioned bedroom bells in the lounge, but it's not clear whether they're used to provide service. Llanynynech is on a disused section of the Montgomery Canal, although a grant has been obtained to reopen it and build a marina just out of town.

Campervans are permitted to stay overnight in the pub carpark.
