My wife and i have stayed twice at Gliffaes which provides a comfortable country house hotel experience in attractive grounds in a scenic setting.

I have been organising trips with a group of friends to South Wales for more than a decade, initially we stayed in farm cottages, but for the last six years we've stayed at Gliffaes.

Recently returned from a 2 night mid-week break at the Gliffaes Hotel. We booked the break to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary and it really couldn’t have been better.

As we travelled there on the Friday afternoon, we were both really looking forward to it, especially as our son and his wife had decided... more

We stayed at Gliffaes for 2 nights in July 2008. The description on the website and the positive comments on Trip Advisor all made for a fabulous romantic couple of days. BUT OH DEAR. ROOM 12. We made the reservation some 7 months in advance. Upon arriving you cannot fail to be impressed. A beautiful country house in several acres... more
