Llanerchydol is a country seat built in 1776 in the Gothic Revival style. The house has been through many incarnations, but now comprises a wonderful old country house set in stunning countryside in Wales.
The main house, also known as the East Wing, houses the formal entertaining rooms and bedroom suites, with high moulded ceilings, wide mullion windows, marble fireplaces and polished floors. There is an easy flow of rooms centred around an impressive hallway from where a cantilevered staircase is lit by a stained glass window. There are many interesting period features including listed wallpaper in the dining room. The West Wing contains less formal, but still extremely comfortable accommodation.
