Nestling
in a lovely green Welsh valley, beside a sparkling river, and surrounded
by imposing hills and mountains, Craig-y-Nos Castle is a wonderful place
to stay.
It is a part of the Brecon Beacons National Park, an area specially designated for its natural beauty. |
|
| What gives The Castle extra appeal is its central location in South Wales and convenient access to the area's many attractions. | ||
| In
recent years Craig-y-Nos Castle has undergone significant renovation and
been converted into a hotel.
Well furnished en-suite bedrooms now provide quality accommodation. The character of the castle has however been carefully preserved. The surrounding Craig-y-Nos Country Park offers lovely gardens and interesting walks. |
|
The
Castle also has a fascinating history, as it was the country estate of the
famous opera diva Adelina Patti.
Wales is renowned as "The Land of Song" and Patti was probably the most accomplished operatic soprano the World has ever known. Her fame brought great wealth and patronage and Craig-y-Nos Castle is her legacy, and a reminder of an age before film and television. |
