Description:
Welcome to the Glen-yr-Afon House Hotel.
The Glen-Yr-Afon is a privately owned Victorian Villa situated in the lovely rural county of Monmouthshire in South Wales. The original house was built in 1868 and overlooks the banks of the River Usk. The Glen-yr-Afon House Hotel in Usk has been specialising in weddings for over 32 years. In that time, we have built up a reputation that we believe is un-paralleled in this area.
At the Glen-yr-Afon we are reluctant to give you 'set' menus or 'set' seating. We believe that your wedding reception should be as individual as you are.
From the moment the bride steps from her carriage our neatly uniformed staff are in attendance to ensure her day runs smoothly.
As the newlyweds and their guests are welcomed into the hotel's comfortable lounges, they will enjoy a relaxed, informal 'at home' atmosphere that is often lost in larger venues.
We understand how much work is needed to organise your day, so allow us to take care of your reception so that you may enjoy your wedding day knowing that you're in good hands.
Prices: Please contact our Wedding Co-ordinator

All of the above culminating in what can only be described as 'a perfect day'. Thank you once again to everyone... Jill and Roy Chandler (22nd May 2008).
