It 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.

Mark, United Kingdom

Staff were extremely helpful - 2 of them went out of their way to give us rides into town, since my husband is somewhat disabled.

Valerie, United States of America

Great location, walking distance to town, reasonable driving distances to sites in the area. Hotel restaurant very good, staff helpful and friendly.

Anonymous, United States of America

Lovely grounds and right opposite a nice park and river walk which was ideal for my dog. Usk is just a short walk away and nice to have a wander around. Very nice modern bathroom.

John, United Kingdom

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.

This property also has one of the top-rated locations in Usk! Guests are happier about it compared to other properties in the area.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

Generally it’s a very nice hotel - but we felt the room and general decor, slightly dark and a bit oppressive/ very slightly outdated. Its a shame the dining room for example doesn't have much natural light or any outside view at all - we had a nice meal there but could have been anywhere. The room drained it of any sort of atmosphere. A minor point as it was all very clean and well maintained- it’s just our taste and preference. We couldn’t fully open the curtains in our room, so even though it was a beautiful sunny day in the morning it felt a bit gloomy. This may just be our room and the facilities were great - but a bit of a revamp would reflect the beauty of the building and surroundings.
Staff were extremely pleasant - a big asset to the hotel. Breakfast was very good quality and plentiful. Usk is a very pretty town and the hotel is a great base to see a beautiful part of the country.

We were disappointed with the room. We had our little dog with us and we know that hotels reserve some rooms for pets and we don't have a problem with that. But during the booking process we booked and paid full price for a better room, the hotel didn't know we were bringing a dog until the very end of the process when I told them. Not only did we pay full price for a smaller room but we were charged £25 for the privilege. We were not happy with that at all.
The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and professional

No Fino sherry at the bar. This one, very minor disappointment was more than outweighed by the excellent quality of the wine list, however. Having old fashioned tastes in aperitifs serves us right!

Obviously due to the time of year there were minimum staff on. The staff that were on were brilliant and not at fault in any way but at evening meal times all the staff were in the kitchen/dining room making sure guests were served ( ive already said the evening meal was brilliant) . At these times you could easily wait more than 10 minutes in the bar for a drink as they do not know you are there. Maybe something as simple as a doorbell linked to kitchen from the bar just to alert them would be an idea
Dinner was amazing. Really good food and service
