We booked Gellihaf House last minute when another booking in Newport feel through. We couldn't have been more pleased with this. Cath and Howard were welcoming, charming and helped us feel at home immediately. The rooms were very clean and comfortable with all the amenities you could hope for. They went out of their way to provide us with gluten free and vegan breakfast options and it was delicious. Very comfortable bed and pillows with wonderfully curated decorations in the home thanks to Cathy's keen eye and soft furnishing business. We look forward to recommending this stay to all our friends and family.

I booked a two night stay at Gellihaf House for my daughter who was attending a wedding in Cardiff. She said afterwards that staying there was a highlight of her trip to the UK. It was lovely to stay out of the city in a beautiful house with exquisite gardens, but with a very easy train ride to and from Cardiff. The rooms at Gellihaf House are well equipped, renovated and cosy. But what makes Gellihaf House really special are the hosts who go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and memorable. And of course the deilcious breakfasts...and the homemade bread! Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay near Cardiff.

We wanted a few days away from the city and this delightful rural location was just what we needed. The breakfast was exceptional, from the local bacon and sausages to the delicious homemade bread, granola, muffins and cinamon rolls! Howard and Catherine are wonderful hosts, they gave us some local knowledge that made for a memorable day as we explored Fox Hunter's grave and checked out the spectacular views across to Sugarloaf. When we got back Cath provided us with some deckchairs so we enjoyed a picnic in the Spring sunshine whilst watching a buzzard fly over at the end of a busy day exploring the local area. If you are lucky enough to find any rooms available, go ahead and book - you will be in for a treat!

Loved the peacefulness of the setting. Our room looked out over the garden. The house itself is gorgeous, bed ultra comfortable, furnishings exceptional. Great bathroom. Visitors should note that they need to bring slippers as outdoor shoes not permitted upstairs, this is no problem once you know in advance. Breakfast room light and airy and breakfast is truly delicious. Cath and Howard are great hosts, friendly and knowledgeable. We would strongly recommend Gellihaf House.. We would happily return.
Nothing. A note of caution:the entrance gate is easy to miss and somewhat difficult to exit onto main road because of the angle it is at

The warmest welcome we've ever experienced. Howard and Cath want you to feel right at home as soon as you arrive. Both of them spent time with us separately to introduce themselves and the glorious Gellihaf House. The house is an art and crafts masterpiece which has been authentically restored and exquisitely furnished by the couple. The grounds are gorgeous too. Loved the homemade breakfasts with freshly made Welsh cakes and blueberry muffins. Howard and Cath are passionate about sharing their home in such a way you feel part of their story. Absolutely lovely. Thank you!

The whole stay was positively different. The house itself is stunning and exceptionally well dressed and cared for. Howard and Cath are no ordinary mine hosts. They really do care and display a genuine interest in their guests. The breakfast is as good as it gets, you would not get better in quality and presentation if you're at the Ritz! The homemade Blueberry Muffins are to die for. Gellihaf House and hosts really do know the true meaning of keeping a welcome in the hillsides and Vales of Wales!!!
NIL!!!

I have passed Gellihaf House many times but this is the first time I have stayed there with my partner. Gellihaf House ticks all the boxes and more. The welcome is warm. The attention to detail is exceptional. The quality of the food is exptional. Nothing is too much to ask for. Great location for going into Cardiff, visiting the Brecon Beacons or seeing the Rhymney Valley. Visit Gellihaf House and see for yourself. Value for money is superb. We will certainly be visiting again. Cath and Howard are great hosts and should be congratulated on this little gem they have created. Treat yourselves and visit them.
Leaving.

Cath is an excellent host and GH is a beautiful relaxed setting. The breakfast was amazing and Cath went out of her way to make sure we were happy and well fed! It was definitely a luxurious start to our holiday. The home is very clean and beautifully decorated. Caths designs are all around the home and very much loved.
That some parts of Wales were not open on a Monday! 😅

This was our first place we stayed in our trip through Wales and we felt like being on vacation right away. The house, garden and the room were gorgeous and dreamy and had lots of little things on display that reflected not just wales but also the hosts character. Catherine and Howard payed a lot of attention in detail when it came to decorating and also their service as hosts. Freshly cooked and diverse breakfast and lovely chats :) When returning to wales, we will come back!
Everything was perfect
