This country hotel is in a beautiful part of the world. Rugged valley overlooking a river in full flow. We arrived after 2130 hrs in the rain and they produced a fabulous meal in our room plus the red wine. Room service was outstanding . We were exhausted after a days travel and they could not be helpful enough. Room... More

As an American visiting a proper country house hotel in Wales, I came with a head filled with images from every period movie I’d ever viewed. I expected an expansive, lush landscape with swaths of velvety green fields punctuated by fluffy white sheep and old-growth trees. I expected a long, winding drive up to the hotel, culminating in the big... More

My girls enjoyed a simple 'high tea' and then we put them to bed and with the help of the baby listening service we were able to enjoy a grown up dinner in... More

FAntastic location for this Victorian pile. In hands of family for 60 years. First impressions were of well kept public rooms, room we had showed some signs of damp which whilst not major spoilt overall appearance - no mention at time of check in. Food first night disappointing and service poor. 2nd Night much better, was it something I said? More

I can't actually confirm it is the best hotel in Wales as it is the only one that we have stayed in. We first found it about twenty years ago and it is so good we would never consider anywhere else. Every guest that we meet there seems to have stayed multiple times, on our last visit one lady had... More

Gliffaes is in a beautiful garden/park setting with magnificent trees in a lovely part of Wales.The river is so beautiful, perfect for sitting and just watching the water slip by or for some quiet painting/sketching ( there is fishing as well, if wanted). The staff is extremely friendly and the rooms are large with lovely views outside. The food is... More
