The building, now converted into luxury apartments, nestles in 7 acres of grounds, just south of Aberystwyth, with dramatic vistas of the sea and views of no less than three castles. Spindrift, an evocative name after the fine sea spray blown from cresting waves, is located on the first floor via a staircase.

The apartment has access to 7 acres of shared woodland so you can make the most of this idyllic location and the outstanding sea views.
