A gorgeous country estate that comes with a lifestyle business, a 17th-century ice house and some of the best fishing rights in Britain

The scenic valley of the River Teifi, which flows for 75 miles from its source deep in the Cambrian Mountains to its estuary in Cardigan Bay, is a landscape of steep hills, lush pasture, wooded gorges and streams and rivers, historically owned by a relatively small number of landed-gentry families who socialised and inter-married within their milieu. Between the 17th and 19th centuries, the wealthy squires of West Wales built grand country mansions on their estates along the Teifi valley in rural Carmarthenshire, predominantly between Llandysul in the east and Cardigan in the west.

Although many have long since disappeared, a notable survivor is imposing, Grade II-listed Dolhaidd Mansion, three miles from historic Newcastle Emlyn, which sits at the confluence of the Teifi and the Bargoed
