HOUSE HISTORY - The Faenog (Feinog) Estate dates from the early 1700s when it was home to the Hughes family, who were related to the Lewis family of Llanerchaeron - the National Trust house near Aberaeron. Like many large houses in the area, Faenog Mansion was pulled down in the late 1800s and the present large farmhouse was built using much of the original stone and timber. Some of the roof cruck beams from the old house have been used in the construction of the present house and can be seen in the sitting room, stairs and landing creating an Arts and Crafts feature.Read more

  Hi Rob
  Thanks for the positive feedback and we're really glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We'll swap our knife for a wooden bangle that we found in the bedroom, hopefully on your return ?
  All the best

  Wow!

  This beautiful farmhouse is set in amazing gardens and was easily found using the satnav (amazingly).
  A lovely roaring fire and friendly hosts greeted us the day we arrived. Fab facilities and perfect for walking and hacking the lovely mid wales countryside or coastline.
  Will definitely be returning.

  My stay at Faenog Isaf

  Left on 08/08/2011 for a stay in February 2011
  
  

  We visited Faenog Isaf in February with our family friends, there were 10 of us and one dog. The owners were fantastic, really friendly and the handover process was smooth. We had complete privacy during our week stay and free run of the place. Lovely farmhouse kitchen, cosy living space with wood burner and comfy beds. The en suite in our master bedroom was something dreams are made of - a slipper bath!!! We spent lots of time at the house with the kids in the huge garden - but it's not far from Lampeter (lovely nice-cream shop) and also aberearon and we went on a great coastal walk followed by a pub lunch. All in all i'd thoroughly recommend it and we're already figuring out when we can go back!
