If you're looking for a fairy tale wedding reception, then it has to be the wonderfully romantic Craig y Nos Castle.
Craig y Nos Castle is located in the Brecon Beacons National Park at the top of the Swansea Valley and is one of the leading country house hotels in the area for wedding receptions.
Built in 1878, the castle and its setting captivated the leading opera star of the day, Adelina Patti, who felt she'd found the home of her dreams amid the calm isolation of this beautiful Swansea valley. She built her own private opera house (now one of only six Grade One listed theatres in the UK), which is now licensed for weddings.
The rough translation of Craig y Nos strikes a romantic note as it means 'Rock of the Night'. The castle has listed gardens and sits amid 40 acres of country park overlooking the River Tawe which runs through the Swansea Valley making it a stunning location for a wedding venue. The castle is floodlit at night which adds to the romantic backdrop for your wedding reception.
The staff at Craig y Nos Castle will help to make your wedding reception run smoothly. Guests who have attended previous wedding receptions will bear testament to the excellent service, delicious food and wonderful atmosphere, all helping to make your wedding day a memorable experience.
This Swansea Valley castle has an individual, slightly eccentric feel, and those who stay overnight in the sumptuous accommodation will be made to feel like family guests in a country house. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at Craig y Nos. They will even be happy to give you a tour of the castle.
Having once been the private chapel of Adelina Patti, the bridal suite is both romantic and luxurious and enjoys magnificent views of the country park.
