Neuadd Fawr Llanwrda (NEUFA)
About the home
A fine, spacious and luxurious TUDOR MANOR HOUSE, - so come and stay for a week and "live like a lord" in style - almost in a film set but with wonderful bathrooms and kitchen and it is warm! This very special house has survived virtually unaltered from the reign of Charles II. A Grade II* listed 17century house, with the earliest part of the house dating from Tudor times. One of the first of the "transitional hall houses" in Wales. The house has four bedrooms all with wonderful FOUR POSTER BEDS, throughout this fine historic house the furniture befits the period; a superb, well equipped kitchen for cooking a really special dinner party - perhaps for a 40th or a 60th birthday party.

Historic unique property
The bedlinen and furnishings are wonderfully well co-ordinated with the historic feel of this unique property - with the original oak floors, ancient beams and lime washed stone walls; the under-floor heating keeps this large house warm even on the coldest of days. The house has over an acre of grounds surrounding it, along side the River Dulais, which are being returned to their former glory by professional landscaping. The area immediately around the house enclosed by garden walls is currently being planted as a traditional "cottage" garden, while to the rear of the property, a traditional "formal" 17c fruit orchard and arbours are planned.

"Thank you for a lovely stay at Neuadd Fawr Llanwrda (NEUFA), we had an absolutely wonderful time. The property was fantastic, full of character and immaculate. It gave us a brilliant base to explore the Brecon Beacons and loved relaxing in front of the roaring fire with a glass of wine after climbing the surrounding hills. Pen y Fan was a must as (when the rain cleared) gave us stunning views of the area. " Belinda.
