STILL AVAILABLE FOR XMAS 2009 - BETWEEN 17th AND 28th Dec AT £2,450
The Llanfendigaid estate cottage is ideal for a large group Welsh self-catering holiday. The Llanfendigaid Estate has been owned by the Nanney-Wynn family and their forebears since the earliest records began in AD 1241. An estate map from 1780 shows that the original estate stretched along the Welsh coast from Harlech in the north to Aberystwyth in the south. However, since the collapse of many of the great British estates in the 1920s, Llanfendigaid Estate has gradually reduced in size to around 300 acres in the Snowdonia National Park on one of the most attractive stretches of the Welsh coastline. The current owner, William Nanney-Wynn Garton-Jones, now operates the main Estate house and the surrounding cottages as a top quality catered and self-catering holiday establishment, complete with 28' x 12' indoor heated swimming pool together with access to one of the more secluded beaches in the area. In addition he has collected together artefacts and paintings owned by the family over several centuries to help give guests a truly memorable Welsh holiday experience.
The Llanfendigaid Estate Buildings have recently been listed by CADW as Grade II* which is only given to historic houses of exceptional interest and quality. Llanfendigaid has also been listed by the WTB as 4 Star.
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). Nearby Tywyn (5 miles) has a swimming pool, a sand and shingle beach and is the terminal of the Talyllyn Railway, one of the famous "Little Trains of Wales". Aberdyfi (7 miles) has a first rate golf course and 5 miles of golden sand and dunes and pony trekking is available in nearby Arthog.
