Rhydyfelin, In Der Nähe Von Aberystwyth, Ceredigion

The Cadw Listing of the property describes it as:

“Included at Grade I as gentry house substantially of 1739-57 with surviving original features including the stair and some outstanding later features of the 1840s, such as the late Rococo saloon. Nanteos is the major surviving Georgian house of the region.”

The property was sympathetically renovated throughout by the current owners preserving its array of character features while also adding some modern comforts to transform it into a luxury country house hotel, events and wedding venue. The hotel opened in 2012. The property offers extensive living accommodation that offers flexibility of use providing new owners with a range of possible uses in the leisure or care sectors – subject to planning.
