Llanfendigaid Estate: Prices & Availability

Sleeps 16 in 10 bedrooms

Built and occupied by the Nanney-Wynn family for over eight centuries, Llanfendigaid (which translates as "Parish of the Blessed") occupies a superb position half a mile from the sea in the southern end of Snowdonia National Park near the famous mountain Cader Idris.

This magnificent and very comfortable family home is set in an acre of lovely wooded gardens. It is surrounded by a further three acres of shared grounds and the owner's extensive 300 acres of farmland with magnificent views of beautiful scenery - and there is access to a sand and shingle beach nearby and shared use (with Ty-fendigaid) of a 24' x 12' indoor heated swimming pool. It was originally built in the 13th century, the house was renovated to its present design in 1746.

The interior has been more recently improved whilst retaining its character; it boasts panelled walls, antiques, fine family portraits and a number of interesting items collected during travels around the world over the last 200 years. The history of the house and family is documented for visitors to read. Excellent opportunities abound nearby for walking, bird watching, climbing and cycling (mountain bikes are available for hire).
