  • "A most memorable and happy week end that easily and comfortably accommodated our 8 adult, 6 children family."

    Beth and Dave could not have been more welcoming for our special birthday celebratory stay - the birthday bubbly, and the welcome pack was much appreciated. So much fun also for the younger members in the games room, feeding the pigs, and the hot tub was a particular hit for adults and children. The accommodation could not be bettered, tastefully furnished with ample and quality kitchen ware. Many happy memories were certainly made during our stay, - we will certainly return to this idyllic place.

    Thankyou Heather - it was an absolute pleasure to host you and your family. Looking forward to Welcoming you all back x Property Owner

  • "We have just returned from the most incredible weekend at The Retreat at Glanrannell Park House and we can’t stop talking about how wonderful it was!"

    Three families (6 adults and 6 children from ages 3 to 12) stayed together and from start to finish it was absolutely fabulous. The children (and adults!) had endless fun on the pond with the rowing boat and paddleboards – it was such a unique highlight and created so many happy memories. The wood-fired hot tub, tucked away in its beautiful and peaceful setting, was another favourite – the perfect place to relax and unwind while soaking up the surroundings. Our host, Beth was welcoming from the moment we arrived, and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. One evening she lit the firepit for us and surprised the children with a bag of giant marshmallows and extra long sticks so they could toast them over the flames – a lovely touch that made the experience truly magical for them (and us!). The house itself is stunning, spacious, and perfectly set up for groups. The kitchen has everything you need and a fabulous big dining table. We also enjoyed a BBQ and catching up outside in the relaxing, private 'cwtch' area with the outdoor heater. We’ve all said the same thing: it was one of the best weekends we've had, and we’re already planning when we can come back.

  • "We had an absolutely wonderful stay!"

    The place was awesome—beautifully kept, full of unique pieces and furniture that gave it so much character. The view was simply fantastic, and everything about our visit was superb. All the families, including the kids, truly enjoyed themselves, and warm hospitality made our time there even more special. We’ll definitely be coming back to visit! Thank you again for everything. It was an unforgettable experience! – Zainab Qazi

  • "The Retreat a Is just beautiful."

    Not only do all the bedrooms have en suite facilities, they are very spacious and decorated beautifully. The grounds surrounding the house are stunning, including views across the lake. We loved the ‘cwtch’ where we sat outside many times to enjoy a BBQ or to listen to Millicent and Maude, the resident pigs! The accommodation was amazing and so were the owners! The whole family were so friendly and approachable. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and David even went above and beyond when he took the tyre off one of our cars following a puncture! Would absolutely have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful property, and should we be venturing out this way again, would love to pay another visit. Thank you, Beth, David, Lydia and Ted for such an enjoyable holiday!

  • "This newly renovated property was perfect."

    The indoor decor was a mix of modern and traditional and done with real flair and attention to detail. The kitchen was well stocked with good quality utensils and cookware to enable a feast to be made. The dining table was feast worthy. The outside areas were stunning: terraced lawns with peacocks, a lake, a hot tub and games room with ping pong and darts. Plenty of parking. It was a really great place to escape to with friends. David, Beth and Ted were fantastic hosts and I wish them all the best with this venture.

The property

Llansawel is a thriving village in the lovely Cothi Valley, historically it was an important livestock market, due to it being on the convergence of five roads, and still retains two of the original five pubs, that once served the need of the transient drovers, whilst moving between markets.

Surrounded by beautiful undulating countryside, close to the National Trust's Dolaucothi Gold Mines and the monastery ruins of Talley Abbey.

Llansawel is a rural idyll, yet is close to the popular towns of Llandeilo and Llandovery and fabulous days out. Note: Guests have freedom to walk around the grounds but request you respect this space and monitor noise. Wood-fired hot tub not available after 9pm due to proximity to lake The Wood fired hot tub needs at least 6 hours’ notice please pre arrival to be able to guarantee it will be ready on the day of arrival. Owners live adjacent to the Retreat and have access to the grounds including the games room.

However, the Retreat has its’ own private garden that is not overlooked and there is plenty of privacy.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £550.
