The house is still owned by the family that is directly descended from the original owners, the Lloyd family, since medieval times. (Please be advised the study on the ground floor is unavailable to guests during their stay).

• Style: Original features combine in this family home that is characterful property; as perfect for curling up with a glass of red infront of the roaring fire as sitting in the garden of a summer’s afternoon, or enjoying a 3-course meal in the grand dining room.

• For recreation: The attic cinema room is the perfect place to relax; where comfy chairs, a neutral pallet and a plethora of DVDs, computer and board games combine.

Outside

Sitting in some 100-acres of park and surrounding fields, whether you prefer to sit in the south-facing garden to the front of the house, or just don your wellies and have an explore of the grounds, there’s plenty to enjoy at the house itself. Until about 1860, what is the drive of the house today was the main road and a thoroughfare for travellers. A Llettae - eight small vaulted cells under a stone roof were built - to provide accommodation for these travellers; they are still standing today.
