The Glynhir Estate

About

Time slips by just as it always has done at Glynhir. For decades, the estate has welcomed guests of all kinds – families, artist groups, tourists – who return again and again to a place where the days seem to pass that bit slower. Guests can while away hours on end by simply sitting out with a mug of coffee in the tree filled garden with its ornamental canal, setting an easel up to capture the views of the rugged Black Mountains, or curling up with a book in front of the open fire in the 17th century mansion. A short stroll takes you around the cobbled farmyard among free roaming peacocks, chickens, geese and ducks, or down to the River Loughor with its 30ft waterfall for the exclusive enjoyment of guests. This is all before you’ve ventured beyond Glynhir’s 220 acres into the Brecon Beacons National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with enough valleys and vistas to satisfy the keenest walkers.AboutGlynhir is located two miles from the village of Llandybie, between the towns of Ammanford and Llandeilo, and just ten miles from the end of the M4. Its name ‘glyn hir’ means ‘long valley’ and describes the way the mansion was built on a plateau above a seven mile long wooded gorge at the foot of the Black Mountains.Glynhir offers both B&B in the 17th century mansion and self catering accommodation in six historic cottages.
