The Great House
Laleston, near Bridgend, Wales.

It is unlikely that Queen Elizabeth I actually stayed in (or visited) the Great House, but it is said that she gave the property to her favourite courtier, Robert Dudley the Earl of Leicester, who subsequently used it as a hunting lodge.
Whatever the truth, it is certainly a splendid building worthy of its Grade-II* listed status. Indeed, the structure has been extensively restored over the past thirty years having fallen into a state of disrepair during the mid 20th century. It is to the credit of the owners that so much of its original fabric has been preserved and visitors will be in no doubt that they are within a very historic building indeed.
Today it offers accommodation via 12 individually furnished guest bedrooms and an award-winning restaurant.
The Great House (also referred to locally as Ty Mawr) is located around a mile to the east of Bridgend and is also within easy driving distance of Cardiff and Port Talbot.
