About Caer Llan: Facilities summary
The essence of Caer Llan is that it is a quiet, relaxed, informal family home, set in beautiful countryside seclusion, which it is our pleasure to share with our guests and visitors. At its heart is the recently extended and refurbished Entrance Hall and Function Room. Also available for your enjoyment are our Bar and Lounge plus three highly adaptable communal/activity rooms.
Outside, guests can enjoy 25 acres of peaceful gardens, fields and woodlands. On the south-west side of the house the recently enlarged patio enjoys stunning views over the vale of Usk and towards the Black Mountains beyond. The outdoor swimming pool is available by arrangement though we reserve the right to restrict access at certain times. Free parking is available for 40 cars or a coach.
