Loyd Hall Plantation

Loyd Hall Plantation is a lovely place. My daughter and I recently enjoyed a four-night stay in the Magnolia Cottage on Loyd Hall's grounds. The room was lovely. The pillows were fluffy, and the bed was comfortable. The breakfasts we enjoyed were delicious. Mindy, who cooked the breakfasts, was very gracious and helpful.

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!

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!

This was a wonderful place. We stayed in the Magnolia Suite. Warm and beautiful space. Bed was very comfortable and the peacefulness was sweet. We had breakfast in the main house and it was a perfect complement to our stay. We will be back soon.

We came in late and the place was nicely lit. We stayed in the Camellia and it was nice and clean. It faced toward the pool area and had a porch. The breakfast was good on the back glass window porch of the main house facing the pool. It was a peaceful stay! We will be back!

We were at the Loyd Plantation for a 50th anniversary celebration. The cottage was perfect for us, comfortable and clean with everything we needed. Ms. Beulah was attentive to our needs and her knowledge of the Plantations history was very impressive. And her breakfast was delicious! The venue was beautifully decorated both inside and outside. Would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a country setting with all the amenities.
