About this property
Magnificent property on historic coastal estate, sleeps 17 guests in 9 bedrooms, located near Aberdovey, indoor swimming pool, woodland walks and sea views.
For a taste of country estate living Llanfendigaid is the house for you and you won't want for space. With log burners in both the drawing room and living room, a refectory style dining room and 2 kitchen areas, Llanfendigaid does still have a homely feel which is unsurprising as the estate has been in the same family for nearly 800 years! If you can tear yourself away from the estate it is in the Snowdonia National Park so there is plenty of opportunity for walking, mountain biking, birdwatching and plenty of other outdoor activities, or relax on the sand and shingle beach on the edge of estate or make your way to Tywyn, 5 miles away.

Other: Bed linen & towels provided (please bring your own beach towels); 2 wooden cots & 1 highchair available; stairgate available for rear staircase - the design and width of the front staircase makes it unsuitable for a stairgate but if the doors from the dining room to the main hallway are closed this still gives ample space for little ones to explore without having access to the front staircase; Wifi available but given the location of the estate it is satellite based which is priced by the provider on a usage basis. For this reason only access for simple browsing and email is included in the rental - use of additional broadband is subject to additional fee paid direct to the owner as and when used.
Outdoors: Approached from a private driveway which sweeps through the lawned front gardens from the lane some outdoor furniture at the front of the house overlooking croquet lawn. Plenty of additional seating and a firebowl (bring your own charcoal) in a secluded BBQ area set back from the lawns; use of 300 acres of farmland, woodland walks and seating benches; use of a 28' x 14' indoor heated swimming pool. This is shared with 3 other cottages and people staying at the small Caravan Club CL (certified location) on the estate. This is restricted to 5 pitches and is a good distance from the main house and secluded by trees; there is a stream on the estate and children should be supervised. Children should also be supervised in and around the swimming pool

Wonderful, quiet location on the edge of the Snowdonia national park close the beaches and mountains in a delightful historic country house with plenty of places for hide and seek and other games, inside and out, and its own pool made this an ideal, fun holiday, in rain and sun, for our large family.

A little piece of heaven. Seldom has a place been made as lovely as Llanfendigaid. Very comfortable homely house. Need longer to see everything. We will be back. I found it very easy to imagine life here hundreds of years ago, very beautiful. A wonderful week with incredible sunny weather in this wonderful house. Thanks a lot, we really enjoyed it!!! We booked Llanfendigaid and Dove Cottage for a hen do for 20 people. The photos on the website really don't do it justice. The downstairs living space is huge. There is a drawing room, living room, large kitchen, large dining room and a huge utility, as well as a small room by the stairs and a huge entrance hall. The house is old and some of the decor matches its age which gives the house a lot of character. The customer services throughout the booking was brilliant and on arrival we were met by Graham who was lovely and gave us all the info we needed. We booked spa treatments with My Personal Sanctuary who were recommended by the owners of the house and they were brilliant. We also booked a caterer (Sonia Willard) who was fantastic and very good value for money. The swimming pool on the estate is a great facility and you can come and go as you please. The estate is in the middle of nowhere but that is all part of the experience. It's a short drive to the beach and we booked to do paddle boarding in aberdovey which is about a 10 minute drive away. We intended to have a relaxing weekend away and that is exactly what we got. The accommodation is brilliant value for money and we got so much more than we would have done anywhere else. We will definitely be going back either in a large group or in smaller groups in the cottages available.
