Superb Victorian manor house with Gothic influences, built for Lady Elizabeth Love Jones Parry. Lady Elizabeth's ghost is said to haunt the premises. The manor house was opened to the public in 1896 by a Cardiff family. At the time, it was linked to Pwllheli by a tramway, and the public came to watch concerts and dance performances. In the 1970s, the mansion was acquired by a Welsh artist, Gwyneth ap Tomos and her husband. Today, in addition to exhibitions, it is possible to take art courses here, while staying on site.

In an old house reconfigured into several spacious galleries, painter Rob Piercy exhibits his watercolor landscapes, the motifs of which he approached during his mountain expeditions. An experienced mountaineer and member of the Alpine Club of Great Britain, he is constantly inspired by Snowdonia's distinctive peaks and lights. You can also buy one of his books on site: Portmeiron (published in 2012) or The Snowdonia Collection (published in 2008); as well as beautiful postcards, in pastel tones.
