We had a stay at Craig-y-nos castle on new year's eve. From the the warm smile of the receptionist Melanie, to all the bar staff and waitresses and other staff you made us feel so welcome, thank you. The food and atmosphere was great. We hope to stay again in the future. Happy new year to you all. More

I went here for a winter wedding so it was naturally an incredibly special occasion but the history, the landscape and the fantastic staff made it even more memorable. I would recommend it to anyone who is in the area and fancies a slightly unusual Welsh holiday experience. It also had one of the best hotel showers I have ever... More

Stunning castle with fascinating history. Perfect for a weekend get away in the Brecon Beacons. My partner and I chose this location for our winter wedding and it couldn't have been more perfect! The building has such character and impressed all our guests. The castle is cosy, with roaring fires in winter. The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are... More

We had not booked especially for the Halloween Special but recieved an email from the Castle inviting us to join in the planned activities. They were having a carvey, disco, fancy dress and Ghost Tours. When we arrived at the Castle it had been decorated with... More

We had a brilliant time at Craig-y-Nos on the Halloween weekend. The hotel had been decorated very well, quite spooky in parts. The evening meal was superb, far better than we had expected as we had used Groupon to make this booking. Breakfast was very good, we could have exactly what we wanted for a cooked breakfast along with cereals,... More

We recently held our daughters wedding at the Castle and had the most marvellous day and night. The staff were fantastic, nothing was to much trouble and their help, prior, during and after the event was substantial. The food was delicious, there were no hiccups throughout the entire event which allowed my husband and I to relax and enjoy watching... More

We found Craig-y-nos Castle through Groupon and stayed for one night in September. The Castle is in a fantastic setting and if you are looking for somewhere different with some character then we would recommend it. It is a work in progress, as with any property of this age, but this in no way put us off. If we had... More
