About

Craig Y Nos Castle (SA9 1GL for satnav) is in the Brecon Beacons National Park, Upper Swansea Valley, South Wales, UK. It has been transformed into a relaxing country park hotel with accommodation and reception facilities for weekend weddings and party gatherings.

With its stunning location and the carefully preserved ambiance of a Welsh Castle Craig y Nos offers visitors a unique experience, whether it be just enjoying an overnight stay, or as a guest at a major function.

Craig Y Nos Castle was the imposing home of the famous opera star Adelina Patti and it is now largely restored to its former glory which, set against the backdrop of the park, makes it the ideal base for walkers, photographers, and other visitors to the area.

Our accommodation includes family rooms and apartments that sleep up to 6 people and for a mid week stay (Sun – Thurs).

Craig y Nos Castle is a dog friendly Hotel. Diners can dine with their furry companions in the Patti Bar and outside on the terraces in summer. Plentiful dog walks outside your room door, so you will not mind walking your dogs several times a day in the grounds, gardens and country park.
