The hotel itself is stunningly beautiful with roaring log fires and sumptuous furniture to kick back and relax in. Plus, an extra bonus were the very reasonably priced drinks at the bar.

Great surprise was the high quality of the food and excellent staff. Convivial barman and a welcoming feel to the place . Superb grounds and walks along the RiverUsk, a roaring torrent due heavy rain while we were there. We had a good big room which was bright, warm and with a great bed and fine linen.

Situated in a spectacular position above the River Usk, this charming country house hotel offers log fires, a sunny terrace, locally sourced food and plenty of walking routes.

Placed between the 2 market towns of Abergavenny and Brecon in the valley of the River Usk, this family-run establishment sits just south of the A40.

Set in the middle of the Brecon Beacon's National Park, the hotel has a stunning location, with spectacular views of its own grounds and the River Usk.

With delicious cuisine and friendly, efficient service Gliffaes is the ideal base for exploring the magical Brecon Beacons National Park and walking through the countryside and surrounding hills.

You may wish for nothing more than a lazy lunch in the sunny conservatory with a bottle of wine, followed by a walk along the river and afternoon tea. Then, round off the day with a drink by the fire.

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

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

Has a business meeting at 8 so has to leave for 7.30. When down 7.25am as needed to pack car no one around to check me out On checkin was also told no breakfast till 8 am min but could provide bowl of cornflakes but the lady seemed totally dis interested so left it. The meal was ok but have had food poisoning after the meal that night and still ill today think is was the beef carpaccio as it smelt funny and was like on boot leather to eat, currently having tests from doctor to establish cause Would also say as I drove from the hotel met a maid in the grounds walking up the road who passed by check out details on Also as I drove down the lane most of the staff where still driving up the road even the chef do not sure how he was going to organise the breakfast for 8am The place is aimed at couples but be careful with food and wonder what their hygiene rating if after feeling so unwell

The interiors of our room were a bit poorly maintained. Room really small, we were struggling to move around. The wardrobe was in the bathroom which I didn't appreciate as well as the carpet in the toilet which in my opinion is not hygienic.

“Lovely rural retreat but great place to explore the Brecons .”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Large Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
We were in a separate cottage which meant we possibly had a larger room but was a hike in the rain to main house. Also there were 3 lounges I think but we never used them as it meant walking across in the rain . As I was paying the bill I mentioned my disappointment at no fresh milk in the room; in other 4 star hotels it is either supplied in small bottles in a fridge or you ring reception and it is brought up. I was told someone would have brought fresh milk over if I had asked but it would have been a hike over for someone.
Very isolated location at end of one mile drive. Very picturesque by River Usk Very Country House Hotel feel to place. Our room was lovely and of large size.

Afternoon tea .... £20 per head and scratching around to get sandwiches, returned to the table a couple of times to see if they’d been topped up to no avail. Finally a few were put out but soon pounced on by hungry customers. A bit mean I think as there was still half an hour to go until designated tea time finished.
Comfy bed. Cosy room. Excellent bathroom. Great food. Oat milk!!!
