There is historical evidence of an important dwelling here as far back as C14, or even before, but the owner of a nearby tinplate works, Sir Benjamin Hammet, acquired the old estate in 1792 and built this three storey Georgian style house and the nearby mid 19th century stable block and service wing. The mansion is now a hotel and the stable buildings and service buildings converted to tourist accommodation. A small park, entered through mid 19th century gates with flanking lodges of similar date, lies immediately to the east of the house, and wooded pleasure grounds flank the Afon Teifi to the north and west.
