Abbey-Cwm-Hir sits in the valley nr Llandrindod Wells Powys Mid Wales. This is a place where style meet beauty. I have to say it is one of the most amazing places I have every seen especially at Christmas. I found this place just enchanting.
The tour takes you back in time, this house is a beautiful family home, within a setting of breath taking beauty, history and romance.
The hall is set over 12 acres and overlooks St Marys church and the ruins of the 12th century Cistercian " Abbey of the Long Valley" containing the monks pond and the grave of Llewellyn the last.
The hall art Abbey-Cwm-Hir is grade 11 listed as one of Wales finest examples of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. Built in 1834 by Tomas Wilson the great Victorian improver, the house was doubled in size by the Philips family in 1869 who then added the snooker room in 1894. The architects were Poundley and Walker of Liverpool.
Paul and Victoria Humpherston bought the Hall in the late 1997 and spent 10 years restoring it to a building of Gothic Victorian splendour. Each of the 52 rooms contain original features, this includes 14 marble fireplaces all of different designs. Rococo ceilings, gothic windows, wooden shutters, bell pulls and window catches all of this are individually designed. The house also has stained glass ceilings above the snooker room and main staircase. An entrance all also has the original Maw & Co tiled floor and outstanding decorative plasterwork.
The house is full of spectacular interior designs ideas such as hand painted imagines on existing wall paper. Bathrooms themed with trains, castles and the 1930`s. Bedrooms have been themed all differently such as school days, the seaside and transport.
There is just so much to see all around you. The furniture and ornaments are amazing. The whole place is just a sea of wonderful things to loom at.
Abbey-Cwm-Hir is a must to visit I can not recommend a visit here enough. Its defiantly a 10 out of 10. Amazing beautiful. enchanting and inspirational. Each room was decorated at Christmas with unique designed Christmas Trees.
Truly amazing.
