The sellers thoughts on the historical and stunning Dolhaidd Mansion:

‘We could write a thousand words to paint a picture of how we feel about Dolhaidd Mansion. We would describe the elegant grandeur of this fine old house and the fascinating details of the ancient estate buildings. We would tell you about the stunning beauty of the magnificent trees and wild flowers. We would relate stories of picnics on the riverbank, of children playing on the lawns or exploring the woodland, of family Christmases around a roaring log fire. We would encourage you to listen to the serenity of silence in the crystal clear air and the choirs of birdsong. We would suggest that you take time by the River Teifi to watch otters salmon fishing and kingfishers skimming over the water. But most of all we would invite you to feel the Welsh “cwtch” as this fantastic family home holds you in its embrace. And finally we would explain, that even after more than a quarter of a century, we can scarcely believe how lucky we are to have had the privilege and pleasure to live at Dolhaidd Mansion.’
