Llantrissant - A Negril Beachhouse

Negril is on the western most tip of the island of Jamaica and was only 'discovered' in the late 1950s when a highway was built connecting it to the nearby town of Green Island which opened it up to visitors from Montego Bay. It is probably the furthermost distance from Kingston of any town in Jamaica and has developed its own identity primarily around tourism thereby shunning the political mayhem oftentimes associated with Jamaica. The emphasis in Negril is certainly on the environment. The completion of a US$30M sewerage system has already made a difference in the water quality of Long Bay.

Llantrissant is not only the oldest domicile in Negril it was the first property to offer accomodations oftentimes to wealthy Jamaican families who wanted to experience a weekend away from the stressful lives of their Caribbean ventures. The house is a lodge like structure with large posts and exposed beams. The living room opens onto a sixty foot veranda facing the sea. It is cooled by ceiling fans and louvered windows which allow sea breezes to waft throughout the house. All the beds are covered with mosquito nettings and have bedside fans. As of December 2017, the tennis court was converted from a grass court to a Northeast Fast Dry Red Clay court.

Two master bedrooms with full size four poster beds on the main floor with an optional daybed or crib or both. Each has its own bath opening onto an outdoor afterswim shower. Five twin beds are upstairs which share one bath. The cottage is an arm's length from the main house and has a queen size bed and bathroom with a sunken shower. Up to eleven can be accommodated.

The staff is comprised of two housekeepers who share in the cooking. They will shop, do the cooking and the serving of the meals. The gardener keeps the yard, beaches and tennis court well groomed. Security is provided nightly by a watchman.

We also offer full service wedding planning and catering for up to 200 guests.

The only restriction is the number of people who can be accommodated - eleven. There is a crib and a child's day bed which can be set up in any of the bedrooms.

The web site is quite comprehensive with floor plans, property map, local area map, activities and links.
