This experience was exceptional. The actors who really stayed in character throughout the visit at the Manor were entertaining, professional, and a joy to watch and listen to. The Manor was outstanding with so much beauty and detail. I would highly recommend a visit here and will definitely be returning at some point.
Llancaiach Fawr Manor exceeded all expectations! The historical charm and well-preserved architecture create an immersive experience. The knowledgeable staff's passion for history brings each room to life, making the visit educational and enjoyable. The beautiful gardens and scenic surroundings add to the overall enchantment. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone seeking a delightful day out.
Loved it!! The tour was amazing, the tour guides were in character the whole time and so interesting! They were brill with our kids (who could have been better!!) We very much enjoyed our tour, thanks so much for a lovely afternoon!
Went for a birthday celebration, Great family event. Parking on site, Disabled access, Great fun loads of historical information and actor's. Very friendly. Beautiful architecture. Plus does events through out the year. Toilets available on site also food can be bought here. Very reasonable price on entrance for family tickets.
What an interesting place! The Manor House staff are in period dress and speaking old English, they are very knowledgeable about the house and the local area. Nice restaurant and the food was really good. Very enjoyable visit.
A big thank you to the actors who stayed in character throughout our entire visit. My grandchildren were enthralled and horrified at the same time. They brought the past to life with engaging stories and wit. A fun day out, highly recommended, we took a picnic and enjoyed it in the grounds. The sun shone down on our very happy afternoon.
Wonderful afternoon full guided tour (for all the family) of a grade 1 listed historic Manor built in the mid 16th century.
The guided tour is given by servants (of the time) in full period costume, of Colonel Edward Prichard, who presided in the Manor during the 1600s. I must hand it to our 'servant' guide. He was in character throughout the tour, which added a sense of 'being there'. There are also opportunities for participation during the tour.
There is an excellent onsite, average priced, café and small gift shop as well as a small museum with a large interactive table screen and 'dress-up' clothing at the entrance. The actual Manor is separate from the entrance via a well maintained garden.
There are two car parks - main, next to the entrance with disabled parking, and overflow further along. But there are no EV charging stations, which is a shame if you're travelling from a far.
Only one negative. Although the main guide was very 'switch-on', the other staff at the shop and café seemed less enthusiastic!
But, all-in-all, a good afternoon. Thank you!
The tour was very interesting.The Manor is very cold, so do wrap out warm.
The cafe next to the gift shop offered a good selection of meals and light bites. It is a modern, bright building and the service was very good too
