Plas Esgair is a Grade II listed Georgian mansion located on the outskirts of Llanbrynmair in the heart of mid Wales. Set in 6 acres of garden, woodland and paddock, every room has views of the surrounding Cambrian Mountains and foothills or a view of the gardens. The bedrooms are all individual, decorated using designer wall papers and specialist paint finishes, furnished with antiques and many feature original works of art. House guests are welcome to enjoy the gardens and woodland which contain many specimen trees, some as old as 1000 years of age. Plas Esgair is located on the well-known walking routes of the Glyndwr’s Way, and the Cambrian Way. For cyclists the Sustrans Cycle Route 8 known as the Lôn Las Cymru, as well as the Great Dragon Ride, are nearby. For horse riders the William Morgan Way and the Prince Llewellyn Way are on the doorstep. For fishermen there is trout fishing at Llyn Clywedog and wild trout fishing can be arranged elsewhere nearby.

    The property had a wonderful relaxed, homely and friendly feel. The food we had was great. Martin's help and guidance on which places to visit (and how to get there) proved to be invaluable!

Property info

Plas Esgair is a Grade II listed Georgian mansion in an idyllic location on the outskirts of Llanbrynmair in the heart of mid Wales. Set in 6 acres of garden, woodland and paddock, every room has views of the surrounding Cambrian Mountains and foothills or a view of the gardens. Plas Esgair is a grand country house and home where we happen to do bed and breakfast along with serving home made freshly cooked evening meals, rather than being a dedicated ‘guest house’. Our bedrooms are all individual, decorated using designer wall papers and specialist paint finishes, furnished with antiques and many feature original works of art. House guests are welcome to enjoy the gardens and our woodland which contain many specimen trees, some as old as 1000 years of age. 'Plas Esgair' literally translates to 'Long Ridge Hall' (in English PLAS, a hall or mansion; ESGAIR, a long ridge) Cadw records show Plas Esgair was first built in 1780 and then enlarged between 1820 and 1830 when the verandah added although the date 1755 is carved into the stonework so it was probably first built slightly earlier.
