Location

Plas Nanteos Mansion is situated in the peaceful Paith valley only about 3.5 miles from the university coastal town of Aberystwyth with its iconic seafront promenade. Aberystwyth is home to the National Library of Wales and the Arts Centre.

The town has a wide selection of restaurants and shops including delicatessens, book shops, boutiques and supermarkets along with a hospital with A&E and railway station providing national railway connections.

The area is noted for its wonderful countryside and stunning coastline overlooking Cardigan Bay with excellent walking and sightseeing particularly along the coastal path.

The scenery of the Rheidol Valley can be enjoyed via a narrow-gauge railway, which runs from Aberystwyth to Devils Bridge.

Description

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.
