Loyd Hall Plantation

Serene but dilapidated condition Very serene and peaceful, great pool, but cottages are incredibly outdated. Everything was broken or didn’t work. Holes in the walls and ceiling. Incredibly overpriced.

This has been the hardest review of our trip to write, it’s a beautiful house but we were disappointed with some aspects. Just a I night stay on our drive from San Francisco to Florida. Loved the idea of being in the middle of nowhere with a bit of history thrown in. On arrival the main house from the drive is stunning, we were staying in the Commissary around the back by the pool. Due to a storm the day before the pool didn’t look it’s best but understandable. Sadly the overall appearance of the cottage’s outback were a little tatty as the paint was peeling off, inside ours we felt it was a bit more shabby than shabby chic. The tap in the bathroom was covered in limescale, both the back and front doors did not open fully as they caught on the floor, the shower door would not open and close properly and as there were just two of us it would have been nicer to not have the sofa made up as a bed. The good points The room was clean and the bed comfortable, towels were so soft and toiletries and coffee were plenty. Everything you need for your stay was in the kitchen. The peace and quiet was amazing, we sat outside with a bottle of wine until sunset when we came in due to the mosquitoes. Next morning breakfast was served in the main house, sadly the lady who gives the house tours had passed away a couple of day before so we looked round ourselves, the rooms in the main house were stunning, wished we had book one of these. Mindy had cooked us breakfast, it was one of the best we have ever had in a hotel or guesthouse, especially her pancakes. Mindy was a lovely girl and an exceptional host, we enjoyed speaking with her and also Chris the handyman. Mindy explained that there are renovations going on, which we could see around the main house but the cottage’s need work to bring them up to the same standard as the rooms in the main building. This place has the potential to be exceptional. Mindy you are a star!

I loved everything about my stay

Beautiful venue, comfortable rooms, easy to check in and pay. You have the whole place to yourself! Our group had so much fun reminiscing and playing games. We also went into town and had drinks at The Bentley Hotel and dinner at the Diamond Grill.

We love staying here. Love the cottage and the main house!

Beautiful and peaceful property!! Spacious cottage and delicious breakfast! We stayed in the McCullough Cottage which was spacious and equipped with a kitchen and two beds along with a couch. The breakfast was served in the main house and was a beautiful setting. Enjoyed walking through the Loyd Hall Plantation house and the experiencing the beauty of the surroundings. Very nice people! We even had a paranormal experience!
