Beautiful historic manor next to ancient castle and pub for group in Wales!

***New Large Covered Hot Tub with outdoor bar and seating area has arrived***

Sleeping up to 19 in our 5 large bedrooms offers really flexible sleeping arrangements for guests, as long as people are willing to share rooms. We welcome weekend and short breaks. It really is the most amazing house and it could well be the oldest lived in house in Wales as the manor dates back to the mid-12th century and was built during the reign of King Henry II.

Guest accommodation is on the 1st and 2nd floors where you have exclusive use during your stay. We do live on site but you are unlikely to see us unless we pass on the driveway while walking the dog. You have your own front door, and key-box for access, there are no shared spaces, the manor is huge and is basically set up as a semi.

Located only 20 minutes from Bristol, 30 minutes from Cardiff, and 35 minutes from the ancient roman town of Bath. It is the perfect location for touring both England and Wales. The Manor is located on the southern tip of the Wye-Valley, which is an area designated for its outstanding natural beauty.

The Manor is only 100 yards from the Norman Castle at Caldicot with its 55-acre country park and lovely walks. Located in a quiet village and surrounded on three sides by a high stone makes this an amazing place to relax and enjoy life.

We do everything we possibly to can to make sure you enjoy your stay but we are always available if there is anything at all you need, even if you've just forgotten to bring something with you, you can always contact us and we will try and help.

The Medieval Manor exudes an inner warmth, and unique charm. Lavishly furnished with antiques this unique opportunity to enjoy life in a medieval manor should not be missed. The manor is a special place but is very much an ancient farmhouse, we welcome groups with children and pets.

On the borders of England and Wales you are perfectly placed for touring both countries. Less than an hours drive to: Hay-on-Wye, Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tetbury, Monmouth, Brecon and the Cotswolds. All of which have a unique individual character and will inspire and entertain travellers.

We can put you in touch with private caterers or for those who would rather dine out the local castle pub is just 100 yards away. We also have a full list of service providers to help you with your plans.

As we live on site we are available if needed, however we give you your space and you are unlikely to even see us. There are no shared spaces, the manor is very large and guests have exclusive use of the 1st and 2nd floors with their own driveway and front door. All of the interior photos shown are of the guests exclusive accommodation.

Please note we do not normally start bookings on Saturdays but for short breaks sometimes we can make an exception so it's always worth asking.

We are happy to welcome pets at the manor but dogs staying over 9 months of age must be spayed or neutered and kept on a lead when outdoors.

Excellent location for family celebration
Wonderful historic building with so many rooms to explore. Excellent for multi-generational hide-and-seek. Very good facilities, and the children loved the garden as well as the house. Neighbourhood is housing, but the manor itself was great for 11 of our family (plus dog) celebrating our golden wedding for a week. Plenty of places to visit in the area, including Usk, Caerleon, St Fagans and the Wye Valley. The Castle grounds nearby are also an asset - jogging, dog-walking, football and family games generally.

Oh my days!
What a beautiful property x The grounds are just amazing with plenty of room to keep everyone occupied yet safe. Tastefully and respectfully furnished with very lovely period bedding and towels. The manor was very clean with a lot of essentials (brand new) provided. The kitchen and banquet room are really user friendly for a big family like ours and the dog was in her element scampering about. The attention to detail with the recycling is really reassuring given the number of guests the manor accommodates Caldicot castle is walkable All in all, remarkable family fun. One of the loveliest bespoke experiences we’ve ever had . Huge thanks to Becky for welcoming us into her wonderful house and her fabulous provision of care, correspondence and attention to detail xxx

Sadly disappointed and strange environment surrounding the fascinating house!
Possibly perfect for fanatical dog owners and walkers in large groups. The children loved it. Good proximity to Caldicot Castle! Lacking in normal kitchen equipment and light. Sitting room smelling of dogs, and sofas archaic. Shower curtain very unhygienic. Damp smelling, and drain odours. Bedding leaves much to be desired. Sorry to leave this information and there is more. So sad after lockdown to experience this.

My 75th Birthday
The family came together from various parts of the country to celebrate my birthday. So .... the venue was important. The old manor house did not let us down. We had a splendid and memorable weekend - full of fun and laughter in splendid surroundings. Excellent time had by all. The manor was well presented but appears to be a little "tired" overall - especially when one considers the cost for the weekend !! However, the quirky environment and addition of a hot tub alleviated some of the "tiredness" of the manor. Peter, Southampton

Family weekend.
Everyone loved the property, including nine grandchildren, ages six to seventeen. We were blessed with superb hot weather so were all able to appreciate the grounds and nearby park. A couple of points that would have improved our stay are only minor ones but feel the owner might appreciate knowing. Neither of the CD players worked, a few disappointed children as a result, dishcloths and tea towels were not in kitchen ,one guest searched the house and found two tea towels, a couple of small saucepans would have been useful. Even with a large crowd small pans are needed sometimes and the worst omission was of small serving plates. We had to abandon our first course on the Friday we arrived because there were no plates to serve it on. Apart from the few criticisms I have made I think Llantony Secunda Manor is an amazing place to stay at, the owner and housekeeper were excellent, responded promptly whenever I contacted them. Our whole family group would recommend the manor for a memorable and wonderful holiday. thank you.
