Falcondale House
Falcondale House is a grade II listed former country house, now the Falcondale Mansion Hotel, which is situated some 1 mile north-west of Lampeter, Ceredigion, south west Wales.
==History==
From the 1600s the Peterswell estate had been owned by the Evans and then the Lloyd families, but due to financial problems and absentee owners the house was left empty and became derelict.
The estate was acquired in 1812 by Richard Hart-Davis, who planted several hundred thousand trees and possibly rebuilt the house. His daughter Louisa married John Scandrett Harford, author and art collector, and when Hart-Davis ran into financial difficulties, the estate passed to his son-in-law (and the latter's brother, Abraham Grey Harford-Battersby) in 1819 and subsequently to John Scandrett's nephew, John Battersby Harford. John Battersby commissioned architect Talbot Bury to redesign the house in an Italianate style in 1859 and lived there with his wife Charlotte de Bunsen, the daughtrer of Baron de Bunsen. On his death in 1875 the property passed to his son John Charles Harford, who, like his father, was appointed High Sheriff of Cardiganshire. He was created a baronet in 1934 but died soon afterwards. His eldest son John Henry had been killed at Thiepval during the First World War and so the property passed to his younger son George Arthur, the second baronet.
In 1951 the house was sold to Cardiganshire County Council for use as a retirement home and most of the land disposed of. Around 1975 the building was sold to HL Smith to be converted into a hotel. Since 2000 it has owned and run as an hotel by Chris and Lisa Hutton.
