Gliffaes Country House Hotel
Stay somewhere special in the Brecon Beacons
The only Four Star Hotel in the Brecon Beacons National Park The chances are you have landed on this site as you are looking for a small luxury Country House hotel in a stunning location, which offers good food and service with neither exorbitant prices nor a lot of pretension; you may well have found what you are looking for. Just 3 miles from Crickhowell and about 10 miles from Brecon, you will be right in the heart of the Brecon Beacons and the glorious Black Mountains.
Welcome to Gliffaes
Gliffaes makes the ideal base for you to explore this magic part of the Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales. Early Spring is still a good time to get out and explore the wonderful Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons whether on foot, by bike or even in your car.
Alternatively, you may wish for nothing more than a lazy lunch in the conservatory with a bottle of wine, followed by a kip and afternoon tea by the fire in the sitting room. Then round off the day with a drink in the bar, great dinner and early bed; heaven.

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 2012.

We consider ourselves fortunate that, in all that time we have been coming to Gliffaes, you have cleverly evolved to keep pace with current trends and yet not lost the welcoming, relaxed and peaceful atmosphere that attracted us in the first place.

A Walk around the Grwyne Fawr Reservoir
Seven miles around the Grwyne Fawr Valley Despite living here for over 14 years I had never been up close to the Grwyne Fawr reservoir, I had only ever seen it from a distance from the tops of the Black Mountains. I was spurred into action when my friend Danny appeared on a rainy Wednesday from [...]
