Well set up place with a separate car park & cafe area. Then walk up to the house & grounds which contain a fabulous walled gardens, walks around the lake & out buildings. The house was nicely furnished & it has a house cat who wanders around the house meeting all the visitors.

This is the most amazing place. It’s like the family and staff just got up one day and left. The rooms are laid out beautifully and just as they should be and the staff sections are fascinating. They worked so very hard and the kitchens, butter and cheese making rooms, cellars and laundry rooms give an idea of just how hard they did work. Into the gardens for memories of the old types of apples that we could buy and enjoy some years ago and they can be bought from the shop when available. They have pigs and horses, chickens, ducks and a turkey roaming around. The Gelyn Jones display is another part of this brilliantly laid out estate once again worth seeing with reminders of how hard life was in previous times. We took our 15 year old grandson to Llanerchaeron and he thoroughly enjoyed his visit too. In my opinion this is one of the National Trust’s finest properties; so interesting and full of varied walks of life. We will be back!

The house itself wasn't especially grand (compared to other national trust places) but it had an amazing atmosphere and the staff were so friendly and informative ~ lots of history and interesting extra facts! The farm animals and museum were brilliant too. I loved this place. Well worth a visit.

We had been meaning to visit Llanerchaeron for quite some time and spent a couple of hours there recently. The house and contents are well presented and interesting as are the nearby farm buildings. The lake and walled gardens are also well worth walking around and there is a nice cafe next to the car park with both indoor and outdoor seating (the menu is a bit limited probably due to us visiting early in the season). We enjoyed our coffee and cake at the outdoor seating and were delighted at the woodland birds that were casually feeding from the area ( chaffinch, nuthatch, blue tit, great tit, blackbird and maybe some others ), There is also a woodland walk near the cafe area which we may try out on our next visit in a couple of months time when we are returning to mid/west Wales for our holiday.

Pleasant setting. Woodland walk and river one side. House, gardens and lake the other. Nice cafe, dog friendly. Activities for the kids. House was open with friendly staff. Interesting display of Pamela Wards artifacts too.

The estate is a great place to visit. Unlike many other national trust properties, it’s not a grand house as such but a ‘modest’ villa on a working farm property. The house is therefore smaller than most and whilst beautiful, is not ‘grand’ and the visit is as much about the working gardens, lake, farm yards, stables, animals and cropping. There are still animals about the farm which adds greatly to the experience. A large portion of the servants areas is also open, again adding greatly to the experience. In addition, there is an excellent cafe and the car park for the estate is central to many local walks in the area. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely time looking round the NT property and decided to have a cuppa with food. Sadly the cuppa is served in paper cups, something that seems to becoming more common at NT properties. I asked for some extra hot water for my tea and initially was asked to pay a further 50p. The girl who served me was quite surly but fortunately the manager stepped in. We were eating too. I think this cafe is probably independent from the NT property. Sadly my experience at Contis cafe spolit an otherwise lovely visit. Food: 3/5 | Service: 2/5 | Atmosphere: 4/5

Really enjoyed browsing all the outbuildings , discovering what they were used for. Great collection of all farm implements and various other items collector had picked up. Garden lovely to wander through. Could have done with more description of what rooms used to be for and old and new areas. Cafe is where you pay for tickets so shame there's none in grounds. Lovely Riverside walks leaving from car park shown on the NT map.

So much more to see and do than we expected. The house, outbuildings and gardens were very interesting, especially the old farm machinery in the farm building area. There are some lovely marked woodland walks in the area opposite the house. One downside, at the cafe if you wanted just a coffee, you ordered and were given a pager to be alerted when it was ready. We decided not to purchase any refreshments as the queue was long and was talking ages just to get the orders in and then there was the wait for it to be made.

I can’t review the house as I had the dog with me. It’s the same price for gardens only but they are worth seeing. Beautiful walled garden with vegetables, flowers and ornamental ponds. Small area of farm buildings plus the incredible Geler Jones collection of farm machinery and related objects. Such foresight to collect and preserve them. Some lovely walks including round the lake and, next to the excellent cafe, along the river.
