ABOUT US 

We decided to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life in Leicester , the traffic, the noise and general pressures of business life.

We took a year off for our search to find the perfect place to live. We toured to many locations of interest in south and western England.

We fell in love with the Ceredigion coastline and found an idyllic place here, so relaxed, so calming, there isn’t a day that goes by when we don’t get up, open the curtains, look at the sea and countryside, and think how lucky we are.

With a long background in the building industry, and having run a successful building business for many years, Llainfran is benefitting from our ongoing building expertise and flair. Our satisfaction is now achieved ensuring that our guests are well looked after and enjoy their time with us.

Many have become old friends and have returned here several times. We look forward to welcoming new and previous guests and to share this idyll with them for a while, so that they return home relaxed and refreshed.


LATEST NEWS

2007 Has been an even busier year for us, and it was wonderful to welcome back so many of our guests from previous years. 2007 was our first year without using “Booking Agencies”
This worked well with a very acceptable level of booking for us, and savings for us and our guests as we now don’t have to pay agency fees.
We can be found in any Welsh Tourist Board brochures or on the “Visit Wales “ web site, Also our web site gives all information needed.
This year we had even more guests from around the world - Finland, USA, Holland, Belgium and Germany, and we feel humbled that people should want to travel so far to see us, but it is a beautiful part of the UK here in Wales. So if you are thinking of coming to the UK, we think this is certainly the best place to come.
Seals on Cwm Tydu beach, we have had the usual seals and their pups on the beach again this year, strangely, pups are appearing earlier in the year and also later, we even had a pup on the beach in December.

We’ve been working hard through the Autumn, Winter and Spring making as many improvements as time and finances will allow.

Some things are behind the scenes or structural, parts that our guests won’t see, but the main things guests will notice are :-
* The main entrance to Llainfran and our CL site. Have been widened. We have moved the bank back with fencing and landscaping. Making the turn in on arrival and departure much easier and improving visibility when leaving.

* Sea view Bed and Breakfast room, now has a much improved and panoramic sea view as we have removed and or lowered the fir trees that had grown so tall.
* Stable Cottage, we continue to improve, we have been carrying out further decorations and there is a new leather three piece suite for our guests comfort. There is also a separate deep freeze and ceramic hob.
* The CL layout has changed slightly, with a pitch at each end slightly lower down, both will make excellent pitches with great sea views. We have also been working on the tall fir tree’s so views have been improved all round.
* Our nature area, This has taken a massive leap forward with the construction of a main very large pond /lake, This is a long project, and although it is now full to capacity, landscaping and fencing should be well underway by early summer. When established, this should attract some interesting wild life.

ABOUT LLAINFRAN  

Pronounced “Thline-vran” Which means, “Crows Meadow” was originally a farm of some 60 acres of fields with the old farmhouse reputedly to be 350years old with all of the usual ancillary farm buildings.

In Victorian times, the current Llainfran house was built near to the original farmhouse that still stands today, Llainfran house is a large solid stone farmhouse of great character and appeal, with many Welsh, and Victorian features and characteristics.

Today, Llainfran as well as the main house, still retains 16 acres of land, the old farm house, two character cottages converted from the Stables and granary, as well as a range of outbuildings.

Llainfran is no longer an operational farm, but a character spacious home for us and our guests. The only animals today apart from our pets, are some sheep in the winter and cows with calves over the summer to graze and keep the majority of the fields tidy.
