About Gliffaes Hotel

Situated well off the beaten track close to Abergavenny in a spectacular position above the River Usk, with log fires, sunny terrace, locally sourced food and plenty of walking. If you are looking for somewhere bland and faceless with all the character of a corporate hotel then Gliffaes is certainly not for you. Hidden between the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains is Gliffaes Country House one of Wales best kept secrets set among old trees, spacious lawns and with a commanding views. The same family has run the house as a hotel and fly fishing lodge since 1948. Gliffaes built in 1888 has 33 acres of grounds, 23 individually decorated ensuite rooms and 2.5 miles of fishing. Silence is something that is in abundance, as all guests hear is nothing but the birds and the river from the bedrooms. All rooms are individually decorated and furnished sympathetically in keeping with the historic character of the hotel, all with private bathrooms. The rooms are priced according to size and the views they offer. The more luxurious rooms have spectacular views across the Usk Valley, while others look over the magnificent grounds. There is one room on the ground floor with an adapted bathroom, suitable for wheelchair users. Being in the middle of a National Park and surrounded by farmland the hotel has access to some especially good meat, lamb and beef in particular. The hotel has earned an AA rosette for its cooking for the 8th year in a row. Most of the dinner menu is changed daily.
