2020 has at the time of writing been a tough one for most of us. Powerful emotion has been witnessed from loss and fear to the joy of knowing ones family and friends are safe and well. We have taken stock of what we do, who and where we are. Amongst all of this we have witnessed immense bravery and dedication, and these form the basis of the changes we feel will be made. The team at Nanteos have decided that dedication should be acknowledged and so are launching a new initiative to run jointly with our business. “Nanteos’s time to care”. To mark the 72nd Anniversary of the NHS we will be donating 72 nights B&B to workers in NHS Wales over the next 12 months. Details of which will be announced on our website.
The visitor experience at Nanteos is superb and having your historic day at such an histioric venue helps to make memories for a lifetime.

Nanteos and it’s once vast estate has a wealth of history.
Nanteos Mansion, a large, square, Georgian building, is surrounded by the unspoilt beauty of the Welsh countryside, which lies in the Paith Valley, near Aberystwyth, Mid Wales. The site has a long history of occupation: an earlier dwelling known as Neuadd Lawdden existed there for many centuries before Nanteos was built, evidence of a previous dwelling can be seen in the cellar.
The present Nanteos was built by Thomas Powell in 1739. Extensions and alterations were added during the 19th century and are in keeping with the Georgian Mansion. The Powell family continued to live at Nanteos for over 250 years. Many of the Powells were influential members of Parliament, and played a huge part of the development of Aberystwyth and the county of Cardiganshire.
The last member of the family living at Nanteos passed away in 1951 (however, there are many Powell descendants living elsewhere throughout the world, today). With the demise of the Powell family at Nanteos, the mansion was sold. After many different occupiers Nanteos is today, a privately owned hotel. The house has not been altered since the time of the Powell family but has been restored in keeping with its historical origins.
