A great British summer, with plenty of long,
hot days, has seen numerous guests enjoying the beautiful outdoor life
available at Abernant House. Whether relaxing in our glorious mature gardens,
complete with a swing and stone barbecue, or pottering down to the private
stone beach with access to the River Wye, our clients have relished the hot
weather external delights that Abernant House has to offer.
The House is situated in the picturesque Wye
Valley, with The Hall at Abbey-Cwm-Hir, Powis Castle and Garden, and Lake Vyrnwy all
on the doorstep. Its location is spectacular, but the views and surrounding attractions
aren’t all that makes Abernant House such a delight. Built in the 18th
Century, the House offers the discerning guest a place to stay with character,
elegance and a taste of the intriguing history of its owners (the owner’s
grandfather was Sir Harold Caccia, an Ambassador in China, Vienna and the USA
during the 1960’s).
Maybe you are a group of friends whose
children have grown up and you are no longer tied to the school holiday
timetable. Or perhaps there is a special family celebration coming up and you
are looking for the perfect venue – somewhere unique and beautiful, yet cosy
and accommodating. Abernant House has an abundance of features plus the flexibility
to make any holiday or celebration a huge success.
Furthermore, as we look towards the autumn,
our luxurious country home still has so much to offer. When the temperature of
the days starts to cool, its time to dig out that cosy knitwear and embrace the
outdoors. As the colours change and the leaves start to fall, the Wye Valley (an
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) is ideal for long walks or even something
more challenging! Get outside, get active and explore what adventurous
activities mid-Wales has to offer!
However, if mooching around traditional shops,
trying out arts and crafts, or enjoying excellent restaurants is more your thing
then the local towns and hamlets have everything you could wish for.
After you’ve had a great day out (and built
up an appetite!) Abernant House will be waiting to welcome you. At the centre
of the house the large, modern kitchen/dining room is warm and inviting, and
well-equipped with an enormous oak table, 4 oven Aga, huge fridge/freezer
and integrated wine cooler. There is also a separate formal dining room
decorated with stunning, vibrant hand-painted 18th century Chinese
wallpaper. Our 5-star chef can be booked to rustle up a delicious dinner to
remember!
Finally, the House also has
a wood-panelled TV room and a beautifully-proportioned Drawing Room – lovely rooms
in which to unwind. With plenty of comfortable sofas, a grand piano and roaring
log fires, these really are the perfect rooms to relax in. Settle down with a
glass of wine to enjoy board games and songs around the piano.

Abernant is surrounded by woodland and looks across the Wye
Valley towards Aberedw Rocks and each walk and view is a golden, orange, red,
russet and ochre joy. The leaves are still on the trees but beginning to tumble
in pretty drifts of crunchy leaves which leave carpets of deep gold.
Having time to sit or wander and enjoy the garden is one of
the joys of working at Abernant but as guests you, too, could enjoy this wondrous
splendour.
