Wedding celebrations here at TOH don’t always start at the ceremony. 🥂

For many of our couples, they begin the night before at Troed Y Rhiw Lodge, with champagne, final preparations, and precious time spent with their bridal party.

From the excitement of the night before, right through to the last dance of the evening, it’s a celebration FILLED with unforgettable moments. ✨

IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY! ✨

Seven years ago this week, we reopened the doors of The Old House 1147 following the restoration and redevelopment of our twelfth century inn.

In those seven years, we’ve welcomed thousands of guests through our doors, added 16 guest bedrooms, and hosted hundreds of beautiful weddings.

From celebratory dinners and overnight stays, to champagne-filled wedding mornings and packed dance floors. TOH has become a place filled with memories, laughter and moments we are so proud to be a part of.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing team for their hard work, passion and commitment over the years, and to every customer, wedding couple and local supporter who has been part of our incredible journey so far.

Today, the beautiful old church opposite The Old House remains an important part of the community in Llangynwyd. It’s a place of history, faith and quiet beauty.

But centuries ago, its role was far more significant.

Long before telephones, radios or modern roads existed, warning beacons were lit across the Welsh hillsides to signal danger and alert surrounding communities.

St Cynwyd’s Church, Llangynwyd, formed part of this historic network, where warning fires could be seen from miles away across the valleys and hillsides.

Church towers, hilltops and castles were often chosen as beacon points due to their visibility , allowing messages to travel rapidly across the country long before technology connected communities.

A fascinating reminder that some of the most beautiful historic buildings once played a vital role in protecting the communities around them.

During your next visit, take a stroll around the village and admire the incredible history of Llangynwyd. A little piece of Welsh heritage that has watched over the valley for centuries.
