Over the past few years we have been renovating and upgrading Craig-y-Nos Castle to provide accommodation of a standard which will meet the demands of the most discerning visitor. Many of the bedrooms now have en-suite bathrooms and all the accessories one would expect to find at a good modern hotel.     33 pictures

We have a number of comfortable bedrooms which share bathrooms and toilets. These offer good value accommodation whilst enjoying the same standards of care and housekeeping as all our other rooms. The Castle also has excellent dormitory accommodation for visitors on a tighter budget and this can also be seen on the slide show >>     10 pictures

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.     40 pictures

The Castle is in the Brecon Beacons National Park, an area specially designated for its outstanding natural beauty. The region is ideal for walking and other outdoor activities, or for just relaxing. There are many interesting towns and villages to visit, and just to the South the Gower Peninsula has lovely beaches and picturesque coves.       8 pictures

Some of the original grounds of Craig-y-Nos Castle have now been taken over by Brecon Beacons National Park Authority and designated as Craig-y-Nos Country Park. There are good paths and marvellous walks in the park, which is bounded by a great craggy outcrop over which Red Kites are a common sight.        50 pictures

Built by Adelina Patti to enable her to entertain her guests, the Patti Theatre is one of the few remaining examples of a Victorian theatre to still have the original, and functional, back-stage equipment. Modelled on the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane London it has the names of famous composers inscribed on in its ornate mouldings.    7 pictures

Adelina Patti was the World's first mega star. No performer has since earned, in equivalent terms, what she was receiving for her tours of the USA at the beginning of the twentieth century. After Queen Victoria she was probably the best known woman on Earth at the time.     20 pictures
