Looking for a venue for a get together with friends or family? Ideally tucked away in rural west Wales, here at Over the Rainbow, you can totally unwind and relax with your friends or family.  The large, spacious yet cosy house lends itself well to groups, particularly with the large lounge and dining rooms on the ground floor.


 
You hire the mansion exclusively as a group for holidays, special birthday celebrations, civil partnership ceremonies, residential courses and workshops.

GOING OUT?
Situated only 3 miles from the coast you and your friends are perfectly placed to enjoy peaceful coastal walks in Pembrokeshire National Park, relax on the quiet and clean Cardigan Bay beaches or hire a boat to go dolphin spotting. We can provide you with a picnic for the day to enable you to take in the sights at your own pace.

What else is there to do?  you can hire bikes locally, borrow cycling maps from our library and take off around the quiet lanes for the day.  Or for a more sedate trip out -visit the NT property Llanerchaeron at the seaside town of Aberaeron; the Welsh Wildlife Centre; Cenarth Falls; Devils Bridge or the many public gardens, galleries artist studios and antique shops in this peaceful coastal county.
 
STAYING IN?
Your group can all gather in the evenings in the communal guest lounge - challenge your friends to a quiz, a game of Scrabble, Mah-jong or Trivial Pursuits or you can simply curl up on the comfy sofas to watch Flatscreen TV with freeview channels or with a book or DVD by the log fire. Wi Fi access is available free of charge. I can also arrange a morning yoga session or a massage if you need to relax and unwind.

The house lends itself well as a retreat for courses and workshops; an inspiring and creative space, practical for movement workshops and classes.  There is a large ballroom and also a lounge/library - intimate yet  spacious, homely and practical. 

The BALLROOM is in the front wing of the house. Added in the 1820’s this is the 'modern' addition to the house. It is a light airy space, of approx 60 sq metres with high ceilings, a wooden floor, good acoustics and French doors opening onto the lawn.



The room can be cleared of furniture for dance and movement workshops, 12 is the maximum the ballroom can accommodate comfortably for this type of workshop. Or, the room can be set up with tables and chairs for meetings, seating 40 in a lecture style set up, or 16 in a classroom or boardroom set up with desk space for each person. White walls enable you to utilize data-projection should you need this facility for your workshop. 

The LIBRARY can be used for meetings in addition to the ballroom. This room has lovely views across the countryside, comfy sofas, a roaring wood burner, TV and DVD player. There are also books and games for all ages; maps and guides to local walks and cycle routes.

Arrangements for hiring accommodation at Over the Rainbow are flexible and can be tailored to best meet the needs of your event:

• For residential events or workshops, you can hire the whole house an exclusive basis for your group of nine or ten people; with or without catering.
• On the other hand, you can just hire the workshop space; then either you or individual members of your group can book overnight accommodation to suit their needs.
