In 1977, Trebinshun House was established as a training center for business and managers and has had a very high level of language training ever since. Many international businesses, ministries and institutions use the services of Trebinshun House.
The landmarked, 16th century manor lies amid a gorgeous, quiet area in the southern Welsch countryside and offers its guests every comfort. All of the trainers meet the highest standards of quality, competence and experience.
Students use a well-maintained work room, modern educational materials and a Self Access Centre with internet connections, fax, laptop connections and a variety of rooms where individuals can study.
Trebinshun House has a variety of facilities for relaxation including a sauna, fitness room, tennis and croquet courts and a billiards room. To see the local area, students can bicycle or use a car upon request. Trebinshun House is meticulously managed by Liza and Robin Watson, who live on the grounds. Both of the Watsons place a high value on the personal comfort of all of their guests, hence they only take 12 guests at one time. The elegant guest rooms with private bath are located either in the main house or in a nearby freshly renovated building. A full breakfast, light lunch and 3-course dinner in the evenings is available in the dining room of the main house.

Wales lies on the western border of Great Britain and has much to offer its visitors: three national parks (among them Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the only coastal national park in the British Isles), over 400 castles and palaces, the largest collection of Impressionist art outside of Paris and a countryside , with a multitude of possible activities - hiking, biking, rock climbing, golfing, mountain biking, water sports and paragliding. Golfers have a choice of excellent courses in scenic surroundings. The many lakes, rivers and the Beacons resevoir offer a variety of options for fishing and water sports.
