This 15th-century fortified manor house stands on the banks of the River Tywi, surrounded by 1,000 acres of parkland. Its stone walls are adorned with battlements and towers, giving it a medieval fortress appearance. The interior features ornate plaster ceilings, wooden paneling, and a grand staircase, showcasing the opulent lifestyle of its former owners.
Had a brilliant visit here as part of our summer holiday with the family. So much to see and do on the estate. The children enjoyed the Lego trail around the house which left the adults time to enjoy the offerings of each room. The staff and volunteers were very approachable and knowledgeable without imposing themselves on us which was most welcome. There were lots of hand on opportunities around the house too for all ages. It made for a very engaging visit! In addition to touring the house, we completed the short boardwalk route to the pump house which was peaceful and rich with wildlife. Everyone also enjoyed seeing the beautiful deer in the park. The only downside is that we live so far away! We would be back here regularly if we could.
A great find. The building was magnificent, a Welsh Manor House recreated to look like a French chateau in the 1800s. Owned and operated by The National Trust. Parking was chargeable separately (free for NT members). There are extensive garden walks. Entry to the house was separately chargeable (again free to NT members). The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. There was good sineage around the place to explain what you are looking at, and the lives of the people who lived in and developed the house over the centuries. There was an outdoor cafe which is brilliant in good weather, and an indoor tearoom (though you have to pay the house admission to get into that). Parking was easy for everyone, with marked accessible bays. Many paths around the gardens are level and wheelchair friendly. There were accessible toilets in the toilet block. The house was also accessible for wheelchair users with a lift to every floor.
Late afternoon walk with our little man who'd done the unthinkable and fallen asleep mid afternoon. Looking to tire him out before bed this evening we came out for a walk to th8s beautiful location. Whilst chowing down on his ice cream our darling little 3yr old suddenly shouts DEER...... much to my surprise as I'd actually been keeping an eye out for them. A beautiful walk with or without a child in tow come rain or shine.
Visited this place whilst on a few days break in the area. It's a house that seems steeped in both history and intrigue and alleged haunting which we didn't know about until we visited. We didn't get to visit the nearby castle unfortunately as we ran out of time. Dogs are allowed around the ground floor and also the basement which is quite rare for NT. It seems there's a story to be told about the narrow passages around the outside of the building. Ask a staff member as we did and you'll be intrigued. Sadly there are many more rooms not open to the public owing to the lack of staffing mainly and also revenue to ensure that NT can safely let the public access. Including the large kitchen and the rear court yard that also houses the guest rooms of bygone times. If NT can find the resources to open up these spaces then Newton House would be even more spectacular. Very special thanks to Steve and his daughter who spent the time to give us so much history of the house from our questions. These two and the passion they showed for Newton House are an absolute credit to the place & National Trust. Thank you
House bit of a let down. But the grounds and castle made up for it. Stunning walks and the views from the castle amazing.
A ok national trust property to visit. Doesn't have the grandeur of other properties. Seems slightly unfinished to me. But worth the visit, ground and castle are worth the walk. Friendly and helpful staff with good knowledge of house. Would sort of recommend
