It has a wonderful open area with plenty of space for family games, or sitting-out for drinks and watching the world go by or meals outside.

Rockcliffe a Brief History

In 1917, the Ynys Maengwyn estate sold off land in Aberdyfi to an architect, who then sold it to Alfred Edward French from Shirley, near Birmingham, who had Rockcliffe built as an 'Arts and Crafts' villa in the early 1920s with quirky features such as the gables and the round window in the sitting room. It sits on one of the largest plots of land in Aberdovey with a stunning view of the estuary and sea beyond. The house changed hands once, and then was bought in the 1970s by a Jesuit Teaching Order for use as a convent and holiday home for their girl's school in the midlands, it was known as St Joseph's Convent. For many years it was used as a relaxing retreat for the students, visiting Nuns and missionaries, the villagers and many others looking for peace and tranquillity. The property has since renovated to a high standard, whilst leaving the exterior almost untouched to preserve the unique architecture.
