A country house for twelve in the Nevern Valley

Inside there is plenty of room to gather and to escape: a panelled dining room, a separate breakfast room and a sitting room with a wood-burning stove and smart TV. The kitchen is well equipped (electric oven, hob, fridge, microwave, dishwasher) with a utility room housing the washing machine and tumble dryer. Underfloor and air-source heating keep the house warm, and there is WiFi throughout. The six bedrooms — four kings, a double and a ground-floor twin — are served by five bathrooms, a mix of en-suites and family bathrooms. Outside, an enclosed terrace with furniture looks over the grounds, with access to the gardens, woods, river and pond beyond. Off-road parking takes six cars, and up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome (more possible on request).

Things to do nearby

This is one of the most unspoilt corners of Wales. Newport (Trefdraeth) has a fine sandy beach at Newport Sands, a tidal estuary at the Parrog, good pubs and the brooding bulk of Carningli mountain rising behind it. Inland lie the ancient Preseli Hills — source of Stonehenge’s bluestones — dotted with prehistoric sites such as the Pentre Ifan cromlech and the reconstructed Iron Age fort at Castell Henllys. Boat trips from Cardigan and the coast head out into Cardigan Bay to spot dolphins and seals, and the coast path offers some of the wildest walking in the National Park.

Who it suits

With six bedrooms, room for twelve and its own grounds, Glanduad Fawr is ideal for a large family holiday or reunion in search of peace and space. The ground-floor twin and parking for six cars add practicality, and the gardens, woods, river and pond give children room to roam.

Good to know

The setting is the real draw — a country house in its own grounds with woodland, a pond and a river, where children can explore and the whole party can spread out. There is no hot tub here, but the peaceful gardens more than make up for it, and Newport’s beach, pubs and the Preseli Hills are all close. More than two dogs may be possible on request.
