Overview

Originally designed as a hunting lodge in the 1700's, the Hafod Hotel situated next to the “Devil’s Bridge” at the head of the spectacular waterfalls and the wooded gorges of the rivers Mynach and Rheidol. In this splendid location, on the western edge of the Cambrian Mountains and the Elan Valley, the coastal university town of Aberystwyth is within easy reach.

All of the bedrooms are individually furnished and are en suite.  12 of the 16 bedrooms have a front-facing view over the gorge and some with spectacular views of the waterfall in the distance. Other rooms have views of the gardens to the rear of the hotel.  


History

The hotel was originally a small hunting lodge built in 1787 by Thomas Johnes, the then squire of The Hafod Mansion Estate, and it was enlarged and converted into a Swiss-style chateau in 1839 by the third Duke of Newcastle and Sir Henry Houghton. Over the years further modification was carried out, particularly by John Waddingham, during 1870 to 1892.  

Food & beverage

Full English breakfast included and served in the restaurant. In the evening the restaurant serves fine dining dishes using local seasonal produce. Open from 7.00pm until 8.30pm.  

The Three Bridges Bar has a friendly and informal atmosphere, ideal for relaxing with a refreshing drink after a long walk. In the winter months, there is a wood-burning stove giving that extra feeling of warmth and welcome. For lighter snacks, bar meals are served from 12.00pm-3.00pm (Except on Monday lunchtimes) 7.00pm-9.00pm (9.30pm on Fridays & Saturdays).
