Historic coastal Estate in Snowdonia National Park
The Llanfendigaid Estate is a rare gem on the southern edge of Snowdonia National Park, where history, heritage, and breathtaking scenery meet. Owned by the Nanney-Wynn family and their ancestors since 1241, this remarkable coastal estate seamlessly blends timeless character with modern comfort, creating the perfect setting for unforgettable gatherings.
At the heart of the estate is Llanfendigaid House, a Grade II* listed home that sleeps up to 17 guests plus infants. Originally built before the 13th century, it retains all the charm of its history with panelled walls, antiques, and fascinating collections from centuries of family travels. The house sits within a private acre of wooded gardens, surrounded by sweeping grounds and unforgettable views of sea and mountains.
Close by, three beautifully restored properties offer additional accommodation. Dove Cottage, a pretty upside-down barn conversion, is full of character, while Stable Cottage, once the chauffeur’s home, now blends rustic charm with modern comforts like a roaring woodburner. Across the lane, the Cow Shed is a stylish, single-storey retreat designed for easy living, perfect for families or groups seeking space and accessibility. The entire estate can also be hired exclusively, making it an exceptional venue for large family gatherings, weddings, milestone celebrations, retreats, and corporate events.
Guests can enjoy a 28-foot indoor heated pool, a garden games room with outdoor table tennis, and barbecues on warm evenings. A secluded beach, one of the most peaceful along this coastline, is just a short stroll away, making it ideal for walks, picnics, and watching sunsets.
Beyond the estate, the area is a playground for adventure and relaxation. Miles of coastal paths, sandy beaches, and mountain trails are on the doorstep, with sailing, golf, cycling, birdwatching, and fishing all within easy reach. The nearby town of Tywyn offers the famous Talyllyn Railway and family-friendly beaches. At the same time, Aberdyfi, just a little further along the coast, boasts golden dunes, watersports, welcoming pubs, and an excellent golf course.
For those who prefer to unwind, catering, spa treatments, and nanny services can be arranged, ensuring your stay is as effortless as it is unforgettable. Best of all, every property at Llanfendigaid Estate is dog-friendly, so that the whole family can enjoy this special escape together.
