Family home from home.

Very quirky, easily big enough to accommodate 12 people without you being on top of each other, my grandchildren had a lovely time playing hide and seek. The cleaning could be alot better but over all a lovely spacious property, handy for the shops and off road parking if needed.

Holiday

A few leaflets about the area would have been good. We found the library on the day it was closed which may have helped. Another toilet upstairs in the house would have been useful, but generally the house was very comfortable .was

Great place to stay for a group of friends both in town and at the start of some great walks in the surrounding area. Thomas, the host, was also helpful with a couple queries I had.

A week we never wanted to end

I just stayed for the last 4 nights with 5 adults 6 children 1-7 3 dogs and 2 puppies. It was the best week we’ve all had before. Beautiful property in an amazing rural location. Village has everything we needed to a great bakery and a butchers. The property housed us extremely well without anyone feeling on top of each other. The garden alone is the best thing of the property as dogs didn’t need to be walked and the little ones needed naps after an hour running round. We honestly couldn’t have asked for anymore. One only negative unfortunately was the check in check out times. It was so late on the Monday then early on the Friday, when we actually cleaned around ans stripped the beds so wish at least we could have had a late checkout as unsure why all that time is needed to clean but hey ho covid what’s ruined everything. We will definatly look to book again for sure.

Family get together

Comfortable, well equipped and historical house in good location with gem of a garden, which fortunately we were able to take full advantage of due to the exceptionally good weather. Had an enjoyable family BBQ and lots of family games in the garden. The town walk definitely a must, as well as a visit to Newton House and it’s surrounding walks.

Lovely big house and garden

It’s a super property with an incredible garden. Tom was very helpful when we needed assistance. Do note that there is only one shower, in addition to a bath. We managed fine with 11 of us though!

Family break

We had a lovely family break with 12 people (age range of 6 years - 85 years) and 3 dogs. The garden was loved by all, children and dogs during the day and by the adults star gazing at night. The property was well equipped and all instructions given for property entry, emergency contacts, recycling etc. were all very clear. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are looking at coming back next year. Thank you so much 😊

A wonderful week in Wales.

We rented this property as a group of 12. The property is magnificent with many original features. It is very large and we had plenty of room. There is a lovely new, well equipped kitchen but we struggled to store all of our food in the cupboards. The property would also benefit from a larger fridge/ freezer. The shower room was large but the tiles could do with the grouting being replaced. The best feature of the house is the garden. It is huge and absolutely beautiful. We were lucky to have fantastic weather and used the garden a lot. We had fun playing rounders, boules, badminton, building dens in the wooded area, using the fire pit and having BBQ’s. The surrounding area is beautiful and we had an excellent time visiting the beaches, waterfalls and gardens.

Perfect family place

This old, gorgeous, fascinating house was absolutely perfect for celebrating our lovely relatives surprise 80th birthday weekend - this house is a true gem and the garden is outstanding! Llandeilo town itself is just at the end of the little road which is home to beautiful coffee shops, and other interesting ones to browse and be tempted by. Dinefwr House and Gardens is within easy walking distance for the walkers in the family - we 100% loved and appreciated our family time together in such a lovely house and area

Loved this house and amazing garden

Dogs and kids loved the huge garden. So did us adults. Lovely old house with lots of character. Plenty of fab walks very near and little town literally round the corner. One tip - if you’re looking for the cutlery it’s in a drawer inside the saucepan cupboard- we all had a wonderful time and will definitely go back

Lovely house in lovely location

Had a bit of an issue checking and initially there were no sheets on the beds. This was all sorted out fairly quickly though. The rest of the stay was really good. The house is lovely and had plenty of space for 10 of us at a 40th birthday party. The local walking and scenery is excellent and there are really good pubs in the town.

Idyllic location for a reading holiday

I have just returned from a long weekend reading books with a group of friends at this beautiful property. It was a perfect venue - quiet, spacious, very affordable, and with a stunning (and surprisingly big!) garden and beautiful local walks to enjoy. The photos don't do the place justice. We were so pleased as we arrived to see all the lush coloured glass, wildly decorative coving and unusual layout. It was a pleasure to be able to stay there for a while. Tips to future people staying there - parking in the stables is pretty tight so move the cars in the daytime; bring salt and pepper, oven gloves and extra toilet paper; pack hot water bottles and extra blankets if you're going in the winter - the attic room is cold. All that said, we were delighted with our stay, especially given the price. Thank you!

The house has been in the Lloyd family for three generations and is currently looked after by Tom and Serena Lloyd. We are both teachers and have family who live in Llandeilo. We have been coming to Llandeilo for ever and love the house and the garden and the town. My grandparents bought the house when they moved back down to the area having lived in London. My Grandfather was the local GP. My father and his sisters all grew up here and we are lucky enough to have been able to keep the house in the family for nearly 100 years!

Why they chose this property

A large peaceful family home within easy walking access into town and the surrounding countryside This means you don't need to get in your car to go anywhere if you don't want to!

What makes this property unique

BaysHill is a Georgian period home with plenty of features, space and a fantastic turreted walled garden for all to enjoy. There is ample parking for up to 4 cars outside the house and in the old stable yard.
