The hotel has put up amazing Christmas lights in the trees in the grounds, along the boundary wall and round the building giving it a magical appearance. The decorations inside are good too

Helena United Kingdom

The Glen Yr is a hotel property that has a bit of a victorian feel. The grounds are beautiful and the hotel is an easy walking distance to the town center. The hotel staff are very welcoming and accommodating. I found the food and service at the hotel restaurant for both breakfast and dinner to be quite good. For showering, there was ample hot water and water pressure (I have found this is not always the case in some of the places I have stayed in the UK). I needed to extend my stay, but the hotel was fully booked. Because accommodations were so limited in the area, they went ahead and reserved a room for me at another property in Usk just in case I could use it. I really appreciate their help and I would be happy to stay again.

The hotel’s award-winning Clarkes restaurant serves a choice of light bites and a menu to choose from each evening.
