Lovely grounds to walk, the on the outside is impressive but the inside is a little plain and not as large as it looks. Walking to the castle is worth it, some hilly areas but an easy walk. Took our dogs here for a quick stop and rendered to staying a couple of hours. Very dog friendly, with wonderful walks all around the and woods. Will return to do more. Staff were enthusiastic, and informed which really made a difference. Great food and drinks. Recommended. The looks good from the outside but not a lot to it inside,it's not very big inside , I found the servents area in the basement to be the most interesting, the ground floor and basement are both dog which is usual and a very good thing, only a small garden to the rear as it's mostly parklands, a good cafe, staff were friendly, Returning from our wedding anniversary weekend away, we called in at Newton House. We wanted to visit the and gardens this time and see the latest exhibitions of artwork and geology items. The is charming, bustling with life, and knowledgeable volunteers on hand for more information about the house. One such volunteer showed us a "ghost" picture that is hanging on a wall on the stairs. At first, we could only see three people, but he asked us to stand on a certain step and with it being a sunny day, we could make the "third child". Move a little way, and she vanishes. We walked closer to the picture and looked up, but we could not see anything. We looked around the exhibitions, with the artwork revealing some of the history of the estate and also what items had been recovered during renovation works. A real glimpse into the past. Considering the size of the estate, the garden is small but neatly laid out, with views down the valley and Paxtons Tower on the horizon. From the house, we walked to the castle, where we saw swathes of bluebells and garlic in the woods. The views from the castle were magnificent, just as they were last year when we visited with our family. We did notice that the Gnome village had received a new coat of paint, which made it stand out. Although the carparks were full, we were not aware of the masses of people. With so many walks and lots to see, we had a relatively quiet time to ourselves. Yes, we met walkers, but they were small in numbers. For a day where you want to relax and reflect, this is definitely worth a visit. I would say the estate has an artistic appeal about it, from the trees to the rolling landscape. I believe Capability Brown had a hand in its design, which is evident whenever we visit properties that he designed and built. One note of caution is the satnav. Using Satnav, we arrived at a huge carpark, which may have been a former entrance to the estate and is a short drive from the main road. You will need to drive up through the village, and turn right along a narrow lane, leading to the house. Beautiful location amongst the beautiful lush welsh countryside. The is well preserved and pretty rear garden. The deer park and large woodland surround the House. Lots of walking opportunities with Dinefwr Castle within walking distance. National Trust property so there is a charge to park and to enter the property. Free to members. If you just want to to the gardens and in the deer park, you can park just after the entrance gate and into the surrounding countryside. What a lovely day out we have just had myself, my husband and our Flatcoated retriever Willis.. Started with a gorgeous to the castle where after a climb to the top of the tower you are rewarded with the most spectacular views. Then we went to the where we were even allowed to take Willis into the house( ground floor and basement only). This was a rare treat and he thoroughly enjoyed his new experience. We were treated to a little talk about the history and the pictures by a really lovely and lady . Shout out to her for being so and also making a fuss of Willis. Ended the outing with a around the grounds. All in all a fantastic way to spend a lovely sunny day in late September.
