United KingdomIt was a delight to deal with professional staff who were knowledgable, helpful and obvious took great pride in their jobs. Their attention to detail was particularly evident - and appreciated - at meals.
United KingdomStaff were extremely helpful - 2 of them went out of their way to give us rides into town, since my husband is somewhat disabled.
United States of AmericaGreat location, walking distance to town, reasonable driving distances to sites in the area. Hotel restaurant very good, staff helpful and friendly.
United States of AmericaEverything 😊 stunning old house with stacks of character and history, lovely relaxing lounge areas feels like a home from home the room was spotless and comfortable and the food was fantastic ample portions and gorgeous. All this would mean nothing without the right staff and this is where Glen Yr Afon excels, every single one of them were brilliant so friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble from check in to checkout, they have a genuine interest in the house and make you feel so welcome and important to the hotel, special mention to Jade, James and Simon the night duty manager a super friendly, helpful bloke and very knowledgeable on the history of the house and the various speciality gins on offer in the bar, finally Peter the owner of some 47 years was actually working the next morning serving us breakfast! fantastic retreat can't wait to come back.
United KingdomFriendly staff, good breakfast, good location for access to South Wales. Good selection of local gins and beers in the bar. Lots of spaces to sit and relax
United KingdomBreakfast experience was good. Served with a smile and no rush the dining room was pleasant and tables were not too close. Our bedroom was good and very clean. All the staff were pleasant and friendly and very helpful Plenty of parking - grounds looked lovely and had the weather been warmer and dry we would have sat out to enjoy our drinks.
United KingdomEverything! The warm welcome on entering and the feeling of being important to the hotel and a priority to its staff. Nothing was too much trouble and all staff were friendly, welcoming and so professional too. Weve now booked our wedding there for 2021 so speaks volumes for how pleased we were with it all.
United KingdomLovely location close to River Usk with lovely walks

A haven of peace and tranquility, this beautiful Victorian villa is ideally located in the lovely county of Monmouthshire, South Wales, overlooking the banks of the River Usk.
Just a 5-minute stroll away from the picturesque town of Usk, the privately-owned Glen-Yr-Afon aims to offer a relaxing stay in rural South Wales. A traditional Victorian property, no 2 rooms are the same. Each one has its own individual character, style and space. Some rooms even have 2 floors, making them ideal for families.
The Glen-yr-Afon has been a family-owned and family-run business since 1974.
The hotel’s award-winning Clarkes restaurant serves a choice of light bites and a menu to choose from each evening.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
