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.’Open Day at the Magnificent Dolhaidd MansionSaturday 6th June 10am–3pm Dolhaidd Mansion, Henllan, Carmarthenshire, SA44

Approached via a sweeping tarmacadam driveway flanked by mature planting and well-tended lawned gardens, Pontfaen presents with immediate presence and kerb appeal. The property has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded over the years to create a substantial, flexible home that functions beautifully whether hosting 22 guests or welcoming a large family for a permanent change of pace.There are properties, and then there are opportunities. Pontfaen is emphatically the latter — and unusually, it is three opportunities in one.Set within approximately one acre of beautifully maintained grounds along a quiet country lane between the villages of Cribyn and Dihewyd, this substantial ten-bedroom country residence is one of the most versatile and compelling property acquisitions to reach the West Wales market in years. Whatever your ambition, Pontfaen has an answer.Opportunity One — The InvestmentPontfaen is currently operating as a thriving, fully-equipped holiday let accommodating up to 22 guests in the main house — rising to 28 with the included lodge-style static caravan. The business generates approximately £150,000 per annum in turnover, supported by an established website, strong forward bookings, and a bespoke leisure suite that drives premium nightly rates and exceptional repeat custom. Offered as a going concern,with fixtures, fittings, and future bookings available by separate negotiation, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an income-producing hospitality business in a proven Welsh tourism destination.Opportunity Two — The Family HomeStrip away the holiday let operation and what remains is one of the most extraordinary family homes available anywhere in mid-Wales. Ten bedrooms. Multiple reception rooms. A banqueting kitchen capable of seating 22. A master suite with French doors to the garden. A private hot tub, sauna, and leisure suite. Over an acre of gardens and grounds. A self-contained lodge caravan for extended family, guests, or an au pair. Pontfaen is the rare kind of home that genuinely accommodates multi-generational family living — the kind of space where grandparents, parents, adult children, and grandchildren can each have their own place within a shared and cherished family estate.Opportunity Three — The Portfolio ExpansionFor those with vision and a larger budget, there is more. Across the lane sits a separate and optional glamping acquisition: a three-acre site with three barrel-style pods already operational and returning income, planning permission for a further three units, and a stunning natural lake at its heart. Available by separate negotiation, this third opportunity transforms Pontfaen from a single strong asset into the foundation of a genuinely significant West Wales hospitality portfolio.
