The magic of Craig-Y-Nos Castle Hotel

If you’re looking for a wedding venue that offers real olde worlde charm, you cannot imagine better than the Craig Y Nos Castle Hotel. Set snugly in the Brecon Beacons National Park, it’s a  gloriously majestic setting for a wide range of dream weddings, but also has good access links to trains, airports and motorways to allow for easy travel. The hotel has an impressive baronial frontage that adds glamour to any wedding and is surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery in Wales.

Craig Y Nos Castle

A wedding location that ticks all the boxes

If you’ve always wanted a big formal space for your wedding or civil ceremony, Craig-Y-Nos has a Grade I listed Opera House theatre which seats 150 people had has an incredible, regal ambience for a fairy tale occasion. And there’s a good reason for this, in the late 1800’s, internationally renowned opera singer Adelina Patti owned Craig Y Nos (which means ‘rock of the night’) and designed the opera house for her own performances. It doesn’t come much more romantic than that!

Then, depending on weather and your preferences, you can have a drinks reception in the Lounge with its library style chairs and wood-burning stove, or out in the large and elegant gardens which offer a great opportunity for mingling as well as having some of the best wedding photograph opportunities in the UK, such as the boating lake and the extensive woodlands.

Where to host your wedding breakfast? That’s easy – the refurbished conservatory with its floor to ceiling windows provides an outstanding view of the Brecon Beacons that will delight your wedding guests and then you can transition into the function room for an evening of dancing and fun.

For the bridal couple, the Bridal Suite is a truly unique experience. It has been converted from a old chapel and vestry and has a half-tester bed and a stained glass window and an unbelievably romantic bathroom with a gold-clawed, roll-topped free standing bathtub, and a gold tiled shower. It’s a sumptuous and very special way to start your married life together.

Your guests don’t have to feel left out, either. You can have up to a hundred of your favourite people stay at the hotel, so the celebrations can continue into the following day.
