| Mr R N 22.07.07 | Couldn't have chosen a better place for our son's wedding. Loved room 27, what a view at night, didn't want to leave. Thank you for a truly unforgettable time. Would love to do it all over again. |
| Mr & Mrs SC 14.07.07 | Our wedding day was simply
perfect from start to finish, and that was due in no small part to
the wedding planners Alison and Claire who worked tirelessly on the
day to ensure everyone (and we mean EVERYONE) was happy. Everyone at
Craig-y-Nos is passionate about the castle, and equally that those
who stay there get to feel that it is as much theirs as anyone's.
The rooms are furnished to a high standard (even some of the lower
priced rooms have genuine period furniture) in an effort to maintain
a level of faithfulness to the fabric of the building itself. With
stunning views from just about every side of the castle, and an
expansive country park next door, breathtaking is one word that is
certainly not wasted here.
Do we like Craig-y-Nos, it's setting, and it's staff? No. We love
it, and them, more than any other place we have stayed (and there
have been a LOT!) If you are looking for somewhere to stay with a
little more than your average hotel, look no further. We're sure
you'll love it too. |
| Mrs S S 10-06-07 | It was my wedding and the Castle was definitely the best place to have it. All my guests commented on how lovely the Castle was and the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble and we really enjoyed our day. I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you for a really memorable day. |
| 29 May 2007... Debi | I cannot reiterate how fantastic our whole experience was, the food was complimented by every guest and there was not a single complaint from anyone during the whole event. I got married at Craig Y Nos in March and it was fantastic-they allowed me to choose the wedding meals which a lot of places don't, we settled for a three choice menu which included cray fish and smoked salmon, local venison, salt marsh lamb, and homemade lemon tart-all the food was of the highest standard and not one guest had a single complaint. Ignore the reviews saying it is not a good place-sure its a little shabby in places but after all is is a castle and if you want spik and span then go to a modern hotel but you certainly wouldn't get the same tranquility and romance of this place, nor the personal touch that the staff give you. |
| Mr & Mrs LJ May 07 | We currently live in Ireland now and it was very hard to arrange everything from over there, however Alison and all the staff made this really easy for me and accommodated us all the way. Even to the point of Alison staying on until gone 10pm one night to meet with us as we were on a flying trip to Wales.Being a Welsh girl I had visited a number of venues to hold my dream wedding, however I found a lot of them to be over priced and run by unapproachable, cold staff!!! We contemplated going away to get married, however we fell upon Craig y Nos and both myself and Husband fell in love with the castle and surrounding straight away. Also it brought back a lot of memories for my husband who used to play around there when he was young.Our food was perfect my family and husband’s family thoroughly enjoyed it and we all felt full after our Welsh feast of Roast beef and welsh cake trifle!! Every one of my wedding guests has commented on how wonderful everything was and I urge you to visit the Castle yourself! You won’t be disappointed. |
| Mr & Mrs HDR 14-4-07 | We
had our wedding at the castle on Saturday 14th April 2007 and it was
the most wonderful day. Alison, the wedding coordinator, was a star
from the moment we first visited the venue and was especially good
with my dad who got a bit emotional on more than one occasion! All
of our guests were enchanted by the venue and a fabulous day was had
by all. We chose the castle for the unique setting but also for the
informal and relaxed atmosphere. We didn't want our wedding to be a
military style procession so we appreciated the quirks and the
down-to-earth friendliness of the place. If you want uniforms then
perhaps the more monochrome surroundings of one of the |
| Mrs D 31-01-07 | We got married at craig-y-nos on 31st January 2007 and it was the best day of our lives. this was all down to the staff at the castle. they are the most friendly, relaxed, accommodating people, and will do anything for you. When I first met with the wedding co-ordinators i was blown away by their professionalism and experience. they gave me so many ideas for my wedding day, but at the same time allowed me the freedom to have the day exactly as I wanted it, even down to putting candles all over the opera theatre (even though it is grade 1 listed!) the theatre is so beautiful and charming; all of my guests were taken aback by it. it is the most unique place to get married. My only complaint was that I didn't see any ghosts! |
| Mr & Mrs Di-C 21.12.06 | My Husband and I got married on 21st December 2006 at Craig Y Nos and it was everything I dreamed it would be. All of my guests have since told me that it was the best setting of wedding they have been to, as night fell I walked down the aisle into the theatre, the staff had excelled themselves and decorated the theatre with twinkling fairy lights and christmas trees, mulled wine welcomed my guests who admittedly were cold in the theatre but for such an old building is to be expected. The food was a traditional cooked dinner which was lovely, and a small buffet later on was exactly what I wanted. From start to finish Alison the wedding coordinator did everything that I wanted and there was never a problem, she was a diamond on the day calming mine and my husband nerves! The Suite was great, ok so I've stayed in plusher rooms in other parts of the world but for my wedding day I didn't want a boring, impersonal function suite in a hotel, I wanted family and friends to relax in charming surroundings and they sure did!!!! Sitting by the log fire watching the boys bringing the logs in from the frosty gardens, we felt a million miles from the outside world, the staff never rush you out, even at 3 in the morning when trying to get the Best man and Bridesmaid to drink up so the staff can go home! |

To
the Management and all the Staff, On behalf of our daughter and new
son in law, Owen and Rebecca Burn ( nee White ) and of ourselves, we
would like to thank you for providing such a wonderful day for the
wedding reception on October 20th. The service was excellent, the
food delicious and the atmosphere of the whole evening was
everything we had hoped for. All our guests commented on the
wonderful environment and we had many who said that this was the
best reception they had attended. I hope that many will return the
satisfaction questionnaire you sent out but, in case they don't I
would like to pass on the following as the most frequent comment we
heard. " Craig Y Nos provides an unparalleled venue for such an
event. In your renovation programme, I hope they do not turn it into
a standard hotel; it was the slight eccentricity which endeared it
to us all." We would like to thank all the staff, from Alyson
and Jason to everyone with whom we came in contact. They all went
that little bit further to make our experience memorable whether it
was serving at table or at the bar, repairing our damaged cake or
offering help to a motorist with no petrol. We felt as if we were
family guests in a country house. |
| 17th Oct 2006, Cardiff | We
had our wedding at Craig-y-Nos Castle and we couldn't have chosen a
better venue! The staff work extremely hard and were always friendly
and happy to help, the food was superb and good value for money and
although some of the accommodation is a little rough around the
edges, what do you expect from an old building which is still being
restored to its former glory! Compared to the majority of wedding venues we looked at, the wedding packages and accommodation prices are very reasonable and they are flexible in meeting your requirements. All of our guests are still raving about what a special place it was and set in such beautiful surroundings....and where else can you get married in a Grade One listed Opera House!! |
