After a over night stay at this beautiful Three star hotel I thought I would spread the word about it as I really feel it's heading for ' use it or lose it' doom!
Craig Y Nos was built around 1862, so not the oldest of castles but it is steeped in welsh history and mystery with ghosties, curses and legends
This was once to home of Adelina Patti who is something of an enigma. The second most celebrated woman in the world in the year 1900, after Queen Victoria, is today almost forgotten. she loved craig y nos and lived there almost 50 years before she died, it is said that her ghost amongst others lurks in the castle.
The castle is set in beautiful national parkland and boasts it's own theatre
It has become a popular wedding venue but the obvious problem is it is privately owned and needs a dramatic amount of money spent on it and without any help from the welsh assembly they struggle on.
I have to say I am very open to all things that go bump in the night, spirits love making contact and scared the bejesus out of me, however I felt nothing that night and was sleeping in the former chapel which is now the bridal suite.
I recommend this castle to you all however go with the idea that you are entering a quirky castle with staff that are very loyal to it, there is room for a million miles of improvements but it's about the love not the money!
Expect three star hotel and you will have a wonderful experience!
