I wish I could give them a better rating as the people are very friendly and the restaurant is Ok. However this place needs a major renovation. The couch in the room must be more than 30 years old. Look at the picture how it has many holes in the cover. The carpet in the room is dirty. The windows need to be cleaned. The outside of the hotel needs to be cleaned and painted. The shower in the bath tub is narrow and not easy to catch water etc. Cannot recommendRooms: Need a complete makeover. The bed needs a new mattress, carpet needs to be cleaned. Noise from the neighbors etc

They worked incredibly hard to make a major birthday lunch go well, adjusting to numbers and layouts at the last moment. Credit to them.

A family booking and it was amazing, food was excellent ? staff were so friendly and the service was A* would highly recommendNoteworthy details: Parking was adequate, with disabled access , We had a few steps down to our room that was booked prior ( via family ) but I'm sure if this is unsuitable it can be arranged otherwise.

Attended a 1980's themed works Christmas function here. Lovely Hotel, comfy warm beds, cozy room, hot shower, great food - it was really fun and we all has a great night. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly throughout the night, despite the fact that is was a busy hectic evening. The hotel is in a lovely location within walking distance of the river, the castle and the pretty village of Brynbuga/Usk (though we didn't do that this time). I would highly recommend a visit here.Walkability: Walking distance to the village, castle, pharmacy, shops and beautiful riverside paths. Also walking distance to County Hall if that floats your boat.

Always assured a warm welcome. Top quality service and fine food. Easy walk in to Usk if you fancy a change of scenery.

Brilliant stay, friendly and helpful staff.Room was clean and had everything you need, including, tea/ coffee/ biscuits/shampoo etc, windows opened which was lovely. Slept well, bed was comfy. Only one spare power point so needed to manage that, but not unusual for a hotel and could unplug kettle etc for extra points.Breakfast was cooked perfectly, and lots of it. Proper apple juice! Walkable to the centre of Usk.

I booked this hotel for my mother's 80th, just close family and friends, eight in total. We all had a wonderful time and were very impressed with this hotel! Why? 1. Location. It is but 45 minutes' drive from home (Bristol) and located close to, but apart from, the pretty little town of Usk - to which you can walk to visit the pubs, shops and castle. 2. Architecture. Half of it is Victorian the other half Elizabethan (1992) and both complement each other to create a pleasing whole, set it well-kept grounds with outdoor seating and parking. Inside - the decor is smart and traditional with modern touches. There are a number of lounges and nooks and a library room where you can sit and pass the time, and a well-stocked bar. 3. Accessibility. My Mum needs a walker so can't manage stairs, there is a lift to all floors, the restaurant is down 3 small steps and she had a fully-accessible room. 4 Rooms. Perfect! I had a twin room which was very well furnished and comfortable with a spotless bathroom and Klimt prints on the walls. Classy! 5. Staff. Highly professional, helpful and accommodating. The serving staff at dinner and breakfast were extremely friendly, they added to the experience. 6. Food. Out of this world! Everything perfect. I always use the cheesecake as a measure of the quality of the food, and the Glen Yr Afon cheesecake gets 9.5 out of 10 for me (sorry guys! But I have never given a 10 so you're up there with the very best I've ever had!) Overall then, I highly recommend this as a place to stay to explore the area or for weddings / birthdays / anything!

Very convenient location. Either eat in or a short walk to restaurants in Usk. Room was a good size and breakfast was excellent.

We got married at the Glen yr avon on 22nd September 2023 and I have to say from the start when we first met carol and the team they were amazing! Nothing was too much trouble for them. Being the bride I imagined a wedding to be very stressful but this was not the case. Carol and the team were on hand for any questions I had and responded very quickly! Honestly our guests said it was the best wedding they have attended for a long time and we really did have the best time! Special thank you to Carol and Sulthan! You guys are awesome! If you are looking to get married please chose this place! ??
