We offer two family apartments (sleep up to fifteen people between the two), one family room (sleeps up to five people), a Bridal Suite (comes courtesy with a bottle of House sparkling wine) and 11 double en-suite rooms.  Three of our double en-suite rooms are large enough to have an extra bed added.

The Nurses Block – accommodates up to 21 people

Ten basic double rooms – more properly described as ‘hostel standard’ rather than hotel standard. These are not en-suite but all rooms have wash basins. There is also a small single room for one person B&B.  NB: There are loos, showers, a disabled bathroom, and a large TV lounge/ diner with kitchen for tea & coffee. The Nurses Block is ideal for parties and organised groups, or as overflow rooms for large group bookings and weddings. NB: The even numbered rooms are larger than ‘odd’ numbered rooms.

Dormitory – accommodates up to 50 people

The dormitory can sleep up to 33 people and consists of tri-bunk beds which have single beds situated over small double beds priced at a per person, per night rate.  The dormitory is near the loo’s however there is a short distance to walk to the showers.  Our dormitory is best suited for younger people ‘having a party’, stags and hen parties etc, or as overflow only for large groups when all our other rooms are full. It is not recommended for older guests and is best described as ‘basic’.

The Castle and surrounding park were the former estate of ADELINA PATTI the world famous opera singer who, at the turn of the twentieth century, was one of the Worlds most famous and highest paid entertainers. This remarkable lady entertained royalty, heads of state and many famous contemporaries at Craig-y-Nos. Today the memories of the lady herself and her momentous times are woven into the very fabric of the castle. Operas are staged in the Patti Theatre throughout the year.

Ghost Watch Tours:

Old castles with their links to the past often conjure up pictures of ghosts and paranormal events. Craig-y-Nos Castle is no exception and has established a reputation amongst "ghost watchers" who have experienced  the special aura which captivates all those who sense it.  As the former home of Opera Diva Adelina Patti who was embalmed in its cellars, and later as a T.B Hospital where many succumbed to their illness, the Castle has a rich history of both dramatic and tragic events. A number of television programs  have been made of the paranormal activities at Craig-y-Nos Castle and there has been so much interest from people wanting to experience them themselves that we now organise "Ghost Watch Tours". Participants can now record and share their experiences whilst staying in The Castle overnight.  More details on our website

The lovely setting of  Craig-y-Nos Castle makes it an ideal centre for artists. Painting Breaks and Holidays are a popular feature of our activity program.

Craig-y-Nos Castle is ideally located as a centre for walking and visiting the natural attractions of South Wales. Nestling amongst the serene hills of the Brecon Beacons National Park it is at the centre of an area which has been described by visitors as a walkers' paradise.
