Dist:1.0km<br/>A grand house occupying a commanding position on the Carmarthenshire bank of the Teifi. It is a listed building, mostly C19 but with elements dating from C17. It possessed a large estate of which most of the buildings, along with the house itself, are now let for holiday accommodation. This was an area in which the Rebecca rioters were active in opposing the tolls that penalized road users, during the 1840s. The mansion was at the time the home of one Captain Lloyd, who, wrote G.G.Treherne (1837-1923) in 'A Victorian Childhood in Wales' "made himself very unpopular with the Rebeccas, through administering stern justice to them, with the result that a bilingual proclamation was posted on the turnpike gates near Dolhaidd setting out Capt. Lloyd's sins and giving notice that unless he recanted (how I know not) before a certain day his home would be burnt. As a matter of fact parts of his premises were burnt, and his old coachman frightened out of his wits." The name Dolhaidd means barley field.
