Gliffaes is a gem. Set in the most beautiful gardens with stunning walks on your doorstep. Food is delicious. Atmosphere is British hospitality at its best, understated elegance without being over the top. We had room 3 and I promise you to wake up in the morning to those views - you won't find a better room with a view.... more

There are beautiful pathways and walkways right around the grounds and down to the River Usk, I'm not a big walker at all but the scenery is well worth a look.... more
