Welcome to Gliffaes – majestic trees, spacious grounds, open fires

Gliffaes makes the ideal base for you to explore this magic part of the Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales. The winter days are shorter but we can still advise you on shorter walks up in the hills close to the hotel. (Type ‘walks’ in the search box above – you will find plenty of ideas). A walk around our grounds and along the river can take over an hour and you will discover many different trees.

Alternatively, you may wish for nothing more than a lazy lunch in the conservatory with a bottle of wine, then curl up with a good book by the fire and wait for tea. Round off the day with a drink in the bar, great dinner and early bed; heaven.

We understand all this, which is why we make it our mission to ensure that you leave here feeling a whole lot better than when you checked in. Come and enjoy our hospitality and you will find out why scores of our guests come back for more every year and why Visit Wales have awarded Gliffaes a gold award for 2013.

Take advantage of our SPRING OFFER and also an EARLY SEASON FLY FISHING OFFER from March 3rd.
