Best wedding venue bar none.

I attended the best wedding I have ever been to at this fantastic haunted castle. Everything was perfect, the rooms were comfortable and clean, it smelt lovely walking in. Despite it being a really cold couple if days outside, the rooms and public areas were so cozy The food was fantastic, it was a posh home from home, but I didn't have to clean or cook. I had a meal the night before the wedding, it was perfect, absolutely delicious, the wedding menu more than lived up to expectations, the ser

Great venue for a magical wedding

My daughter got married on the 24th November 2023 at Craig y nos castle. From the first day we went to view the venue right up to the day after wedding we could not fault any of the staff. Kelly Michaela & Sophie had been so attentive to my daughter's every request and needs. It was a pretty big wedding but nothing was too much trouble they dealt with everything in a professional manner and couldn't fault them. The food was warm and beautiful also the breakfast the morning after the wedding was

Our Wedding

We got married here on September 14th. Nicola was absolutely amazing from the moment e have the first meeting with her. There was countless emails and phone calls exchanged between her and my father in law ( our unofficial wedding planner) which she was happy to answer any questions we had. We had some many requests that were not quite ordinary but non of them were a trouble. There were minor things that went wrong during the day but we was completely unaware of these as Nicola had sorted them so quickly and professionally. The day would not have gone the way it did without her. The castle was absolutely stunning! The weather was lovely so we was able to go down to the grounds as well. The waiting staff were amazing and friendly and were so accommodating when I asked questions or had requests. We can not thank Craig y nos enough for making our day perfect. I’ve been waiting to have our wedding photos before leaving a review, so we could show off how amazing it all looks

Wedding celebrations!

We got married here a couple of weeks ago! After a year of planning (26/10/2019) We had a few hiccups in the beginning but they were dealt with immediately! 😊 Such a beautiful venue, we couldn't of wished for a more perfect day! The staff were so welcoming and catered to our every need! We can't thank them enough. We would really like to say a big thank you to Molly for all that she done for us! From the endless phone calls, emails, me breaking down into tears and never once did she moan! Nothing was ever to much for her! We went through a hard time and we would always have a phone call checking in on us to make sure we were okay! From sorting our accommodation to literally helping with every little thing! Our day went perfectly and it's all down to her! If she noticed a problem it was dealt with before I even knew about it! The flowers and bracelet we got her just don't seem enough to show her our thanks! She literally felt like apart of our family! I hope she gets the recognition that she deserves! We love you Molly 💛 We would definitely recommend Craig Y Nos & look forward to coming down over the Christmas period 🎄❤️
