Waunifor Mansion Estate / Holiday Centre, Maesycrugiau
An exceptional venue for events, celebrations, holidays, staycations, and a distinctive lifestyle business where new owners could enjoy a wonderful lifestyle and business on site in the superb Ceredigion countryside.
Set within over 3.6 acres of landscaped gardens, mature woodland, orchards, and stream-fed grounds, Waunifor is not merely a country estate — it is a fully operational, income-generating destination with immense potential for weddings, celebrations, holidays, conferences, retreats, creative residencies, and multi-day events.
Located near the village of Maesycrugiau in beautiful West Wales, this historic property is already successfully operating as a retreat and holiday base. Yet its greatest value lies in its expansive potential as a premier event venue and hospitality business. For lifestyle buyers, creative entrepreneurs, or investors, Waunifor offers a rare opportunity to live and work in harmony with nature — while generating substantial, diverse income. While in the secluded heart of the countryside, it lies within half an hour of spectacular Cardigan Bay beaches, Brechfa Forest, and the ‘dark sky’ Llanllwni Mountain.
Two bespoke event venues ready for use
Waunifor has been purpose-designed to host a wide variety of gatherings:
Cedar Hall – A striking 1,650 sq ft timber-lined events space with vaulted ceilings, a mezzanine level, kitchenette, foyer, and full disabled access. Ideal for:
Weddings and civil ceremonies
Musical performances, acoustic nights, and arts events
Wellness retreats and yoga sessions
Corporate seminars, lectures, and training
Dance
Exhibitions
Rendezvous – A separate 1,300 sq ft event space/café (not a conversion), complete with a commercial kitchen, stylish interiors, and French doors leading to a streamside deck. Perfect for:
Reception dinners, private parties, and group dining
Creative workshops, funeral receptions, or small festivals
Pop-up cafés, exhibitions, or artist-in-residence events
Additional guest activities, group dining, and retail opportunities
These venues are operational and attractively designed, offering immediate scope for revenue generation through event hire, seasonal programming, and local partnerships.
Accommodation for 36 guests + two three bedroom residential rental flats
& proven income potential of £150,000–£200,000 per annum
Waunifor includes six distinctive holiday cottages, currently sleeping up to 36 guests — ideal for wedding party stays, retreat bookings, or arts residencies. These charming cottages vary in size and character, from the intimate one-bedroom Duckpond Cottage to the larger Coach House and Longhouse, most with wood-burning stoves, slate floors, exposed beams, and views across gardens or the pond.
The holiday let business is fully operational, with recent income assessments suggesting annual earning potential of £150,000–£200,000, depending on occupancy and seasonal programming. This provides an immediate commercial base for further business development.
In addition, the estate includes two fully self-contained residential rental units with their own access. These offer:
A steady and dependable income stream
The option to be used as generous staff accommodation for a live-in team or visiting facilitators
Or could be combined to offer the owner a six-bedroom family home
The main house – historic and adaptable
The central stone-built main house, once the seat of the Lloyd and Bowen families, currently offers multiple rooms across three floors, configured as:
Offices
Treatment and therapy rooms
Meeting and consultation spaces
These could be reimagined as a boutique guest house, private owner’s residence, or additional retreat and therapy space.
