Dating back to 979AD, Pencoed House Estate used to be a monastery before it was transformed into the home of sheriffs of the county, ministers of the church, the King of Glamorgan and legend dictates that even King Arthur and Queen Guinevere lived here. This idyllic property is situated at the end of a tree-lined driveway and majestic arched entranceway. The 36 acres of grounds encompass well-groomed lawns, flowers, shrubbery, a babbling brook, a play area, ancient woodland and local wildlife.
Celebrate in style
The stately Old Hall is made of original stone walls, has a striking vaulted ceiling, wooden beams, a roaring log fire and room for 120 guests throughout the day.
Adjacent to the Old Hall is the Woodland Bar, a cosy self-contained bar that serves as the perfect location for pre-and post-wedding drinks.
There are also two outside reception spaces for couples looking for an al fresco celebration, both of which can seat 40 nearest and dearest.
We love...
Pencoed House Estate offers couples a complimentary wine tasting session, the help of a wedding coordinator, staff to manage guest parking on the day and carefully selected caterers.
