Location: Negril, Jamaica, Caribbean (One and a half hours west of Montego Bay) View Map
Accommodations: Villa, 5 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 4 Baths (Sleeps 12)
Keywords: Beach House/Villa
Enjoy the sun drenched days of Negril on a two acre beach front estate offering uncompromised privacy with its two private beaches where swimsuits are optional. Only the hotel crowds are missing and the planned daily activities of resorts.
Hotels could not provide you with a more personable service than our staff which includes a housekeeper, cook, gardener and security guard from dusk to dawn. The staff provides 24 hour service and security every day of the week. A household guide is available in all the rooms at the house and can be printed from the web site. It requires an Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Resorts and hotels have long lines or require reservations for meals at specified times. Not here. Breakfast at 11:00 AM, lunch at 4:00 PM or dinner up until 7:00PM , no problem. Our staff will prepare legendary Jamaican cuisine while you enjoy the comfort and security of a large private estate.
With its four bedroom and guest cottage, this villa/beachhouse will accommodate groups and families up to twelve for the vacation of a lifetime. There are two master bedrooms downstairs each with a four poster, full-size bed under a canopy of mosquito netting. Each bathroom opens onto an outdoor shower for rinsing off after swimming. Upstairs there are three twin beds and a king sized bed sharing one bathroom; if necessary, the king size bed can be broken down into two twin beds. There is a back staircase which can be used as a separate entrance especially after swimming. There are room safes in the main house and the cottage. We also have a child's daybed, crib and playpen.
With its vaulted living room ceiling the villa will resonate on a stereo system transforming it into an instrument itself. We have recently installed a 37" flat panel HD TV with local cable service. Internet access (DSL and Wi-Fi) and fax will keep you connected to the world if that is your need. If you have Itunes on your laptop you will be able to connect to the stereo system through Airport Express, otherwise there is a cable connected to the amplifier to which you can connect a MP3 player.
Shaded by centuries old cotton trees (kapok), almond and sea grape trees, the broad expanse of the lawns and beaches makes an ideal setting for a wedding in Jamaica. The seawall which juts into the sea is flanked by two beaches. Dining on the seawall for any meal of the day could be habit forming. Hammocks are all about the property and reflect an age old tradition in the Caribbean.
The tennis court has recently been converted back to its original grass court surface. Please contact us if you want the availability of a tennis professional; we will do our best to contact one for you. We also have a ping pong table, horseshoes and a croquet set. There are also the traditional board games.
The Negril Hills Golf Club is just five minutes from the property by taxi.
There are hammocks and benches scattered throughout the property. The word hammock is an Arawak Indian word, so are the words tobacco, barbecue and canoe. What a life! Thank you, Tom Robbins in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues for that little bit of linguistic history.
Negril has been called the Reggae capital of the world with a different live show every night. All the venues are within short walking or driving distances. Some guests have even enjoyed the shows sitting on the sea wall around a bonfire listening to the music as it bounces off the water from venues a mile away! As a result of a strong lobbying effort, the shows are now required to end at 1:00 AM in respect for those who would rather listen to the waves and the more natural sounds of the night.
There are small patch reefs, coral gardens and caves surrounding the property along a thousand feet of sea front so you will have to bring your own snorkeling gear to appreciate this marine world. Two sea kayaks which are available to the guests at no extra cost. The kayaks can be rigged for one or two persons and carry an anchor and line for snorkeling either along the cliffs or out on Long Bay among the numerous patch reefs. Unfortunately, we no longer have a sailboat nor the windsurfers. The personal workout center is on the veranda overlooking the sea.
For the land lubber who is not so adventurous, there is a turtle pond with three loggerhead turtles to feed and pet. These were given by local fishermen to keep them out of someone else's stew pot.
Airport transfers and excursions are available.

UNSURPASSED BEAUTY AND PRIVACY
Guest: Bridget

Date of Stay: 10/21/11
Review Submitted: 11/17/11
This was our 6th visit to Negril and by far the best. We have stayed in several of the high end properties in Negril but enjoyed Llantrissant the best. The privacy is nowhere else to be found in Negril and we even had massages out of the veranda and seawall. We enjoyed the beach, sea kayaks, turtle pond and shell collecting. The staff is one of the highlights of the property. Ms. Ann and Paulette were wonderful cooks and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. Mr. Benji and Ozzy (the drivers) are great and took us out on several excursions including the YS Falls and the Blue Hole. Even Sam the dog joined us in swimming in the ocean. The house is very historical from an era long gone . I was a little concerned about no air conditioning (since I keep my house 72 degrees) but we were all quite comfortable. There are fans in all the rooms and the house practically sits on the water so there are breezes constantly. Previous reviewers had complained about noise however, we only heard loud music on Sunday which comes from the local community center where the locals gather to hear various DJs. We actually walked over there to hear it. The music ended around 1:00 am so no big deal. We hope to return next year and stay longer. Thanks for a great vacation!!!

Thanks for everything, we had a wonderful experience that was directly impacted by the beautiful house/property and quality of the staff. I have to provide extra praise to the staff, who made the experience so much warmer and unique through thier assistance and added local flavor to our trip. I am very hopeful that you now have a repeat customer, and will tell anyone that is ever looking for a Carribean location to consider Llantrissant. Just amazing.

Wonderful blend of natural and historic beauty

The stay can only be described as wonderful. The food was wonderful; the accommodations were wonderful. The staff was phenomenal. Miss Paulette and Miss Ann were extremely gracious and kind and along with Roy and Benji, provided any assistance needed and went above and beyond to grant all requests. The villa is a blend of natural and historic beauty (with great scenery) that offered fun, comfort and security (thanks Charma and Barry). There was some loud music in the area one day but it ended promptly ~midnight (it was enjoyable music, but my parents' room faced the street and they found it less so). Thanks Llantrissant for sharing your little slice of paradise.

I visited Llantrisant in May and had a wonderful time. The house was comfortable, pleasant, and authentic. Adults and teens all enjoyed it. We spent a lot of time on the spacious veranda soaking up the amazing view. Having our own beach was the highlight. There was excellent snorkeling right there, with no need to hire a boat. We also enjoyed the kayaks and just playing in the warm water. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. Negril itself didn't thrill me as a destination, but everything we needed was available to us on this special property and we were very happy to hang out and enjoy it. The owner was gracious answering our questions and the photos on the website certainly described the property very well. There are numerous pretty restaurants nearby.

My six year old has been asking me to go back to Jamaica every week for the past five months! The best thing about our stay were the people. The girls who cook amazingly, clean up and provide laughs. The security guard and the driver were all very friendly and helpful. We loved staying in a house with as much history as you can find. The cozy coves and turtle pond, the gardens and the nooks in the house provided a new adventure every minute. What a memorable Christmas. Eating jerk chicken and lobster for lunch....mmmmm. Thank you for having us. We will be back one of these days.....
Owner response:Anna, Of course, everyone loved having you there and looks forward to your return. Craig

Me and 8 of my girlfriends just spent 7 days at this house. It was truly an amazing place. From the moment we arrived until the morning we left to come home- it was paradise! The staff is wonderful. Food was outstanding. This has definitely been put on my list of places for a return visit. If you are looking for a vacation that is truly relaxing and laid back... i highly recommend that you try this place.

Most Memorable Vacation

Last October my family made arrangement to stay a week at Llantrissant, Negril, unfortunately only 2 out of our party of 8 could attend. In the end my older sister and I spend one glorious week, absorbing the sun by wading in the shallow beaches just b4 dawn, enjoying breakfast on the ocean wall, and taking daily trips into town. The staff at Llantrissant, Negril were courteous, helpful and friendly. The meals were delicious and the ambiance gave us a feeling of home. This is a must do in our list of vacations spots revisit...

Myself and several members of my family just spent the 2nd week of January at the Llantrisant House in Negril. The house and property were just wonderful and we had a lovely time. The staff was excellent and they took very good care of us. The local fisherman came to the property so we could pick the lobsters and fresh fish needed for our dinners. Georgia, Lindsey and Ann cooked up some great meals. A local masseuse came and gave massages on the front veranda and the snorkel boat came to our private beach and picked up everyone who wanted to go snorkling ... what a life! We ventured out to 7 mile beach, the waterfalls, Rick's and dined at a couple of different restaurants. We loved the resident dogs, Abbey and Zek and would like to recommend glucosamine for Zek's bad hips. The only complaint would be the late night music on the weekends but when in Rome ...

Amazing Holiday Retreat

A group of friends and I spent the week here over the Christmas and New Years Holiday ringing in 2010. There were 10 of us total. We enjoyed it so much we rebooked for Thanksgiving 2010. The house is very safe, there is 24 hour security. The staff was so sweet and accommodating. The food was great and the woman who cooked for us followed every request we had. I can only say good things about Llantrassant, when I got home I bragged for weeks about our accommodations and the fun we had in Negril.
