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

A small group of us just spent 6 days at the Gliffaes. To say it was wonderful would be an understandment. From the gorgeous grounds to explore complete with river, hidden paths and tree swing to the fabulous dinners - Gliffaes is an outstanding hotel in South Wales. We booked the hotel 6 months in advance and James Suter could... more

My wife and I stayed in room 25 as part of a tour of mid-Wales - our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer. The combination of stunning location, beautiful building, log fires, great food made for a very relaxing weekend. The room itself was a standard double - with a pleasant view across the gardens - a large... more

We stayed for two nights in Room 12 which is a double en-suite room over looking the courtyard and the front door. This is a small clean room nicely decorated in a Interiors magazine country house style, with a good sized en-suite bathroom, (Only one set of towels in the bathroom and had to ask three times before the second... more

We were here for one night, booked at short notice and at a fine late discount. It was no surprise that it is a very comfortable, pleasant country house. But we had read some previous reviews that suggested the food might be a bit pretentious for what it was and were slightly wary. Not a bit of it. We had... more

Everything they say about the view as you drive in is true!! It really is stunning. We found the staff to be friendly - not overly so but perfectly polite which was what I would expect from a hotel like this - discreet but available. The room was fab - we had a large double in the courtyard and food... more

The hotel is in a lovely setting, and a perfect location for touring. The reception staff were slightly 'cool' in their manner. The food was excellent, although the restaurant was uncomfortably quiet in the evenings. The waiting staff were superb. I contacted the hotel after my stay to advise that an IPOD Nano was missing from my luggage, but they... more

This was a gorgeous hotel in a lovely setting. The room we stayed in, I think it was number 6 had a stunning view of the river and the most gorgeous bathroom with free standing bath. Service was on the whole very good, the reception staff lacked a natural warmth but were efficient and helpful. There is a risk that... more

Interesting house, beautiful gardens, splendid views, good walks - and yet not quite living up to my hopes. My room (a "large double with a river view") was perfectly comfortable, but over-priced because no reduction was offered for single occupancy (not even for the fact that there was only one of me to eat breakfast!). I recognise that I could... more
