Offering a choice of locations for ceremonies and a glorious setting for receptions, Rhosygilwen is a wonderful choice for Pembrokeshire weddings. Rhosygilwen has been a special place to get married at for more than 20 years and the staff take great pride in providing a special service for couples.

There are plenty of standout features at Rhosygilwen, including the splendid driveway leading to Neuadd y Dderwen (The Oak Hall). With its oak beams on show and windows overlooking the glorious countryside, very little is required to decorate this space to suit the couple’s style and requirements. A full bar is available and the room can easily cater up to 200 guests for the ceremony, 150 for the wedding breakfast and 250 for the evening party.

Celebrate in style
There are two delightful indoor wedding locations for couples to choose from: Neuadd y Dderwen (The Oak Hall) and The Orangery. For a more intimate affair, The Orangery, with its chequerboard floor, lantern roof light and chandeliers, is ideal.

For outside ceremonies the stunning Gothic Victorian mansion of Rhosygilwen itself is an unforgettable backdrop for the vows, not to mention the extensive gardens for capturing the perfect photographs to last a lifetime.

What’s more there are four bedrooms available in the Courtyard Cottages for the most important guests and the team can help organise extra accommodation with high-quality providers in the region.

We love...
Rhosygilwen has partnered with an extensive range of industry professionals to help turn a couple’s dream day into reality. From caterers and florists to everything in between, the team are on hand every step of the way.

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The journey that begins with "will you marry me" and ends with "I do" transforms a couple's lives in multiple ways, but it also involves a huge number of decisions, as planning a wedding is no mean feat. Every guest will have an opinion on what a wedding should be like: from what's classy and tacky, to which traditions should be followed and which can be discarded. To help prospective couples get a grip on what these potential guests hope to see in a wedding, YouGov's new Big Survey on Weddings examines all these key debates about what should and shouldn't feature on the big day, including looking at the decisions that brides and grooms would make themselves. The study is part a Big Surveys project: a series of in-depth surveys on British society. It was conducted between 7-9 August 2026, with a sample of 1,784 adults in the UK aged 18 and above.

Brits are swapping the 'big day' for the 'right day' as searches for intimate wedding venues soar

Couples are increasingly choosing quality time over large guest lists, with new search data revealing a growing demand for intimate weddings and stylish registry office ceremonies. According to Google search data analysed by Suit Direct, searches for "small intimate wedding venues near me" have increased by 86% year-on-year, while interest in "micro wedding packages" has risen 23% over the past three months, suggesting more couples are opting for meaningful celebrations that prioritise the experience over extravagance. For many, the legal ceremony is no longer just the paperwork before the "real" wedding. Instead, couples are dressing for the occasion, hiring photographers and celebrating afterwards with an intimate meal or party, proving you don't need a 200-person guest list to make the day feel special.

Swansea and Gower's Rhossili Bay named Britain's best bank holiday beach

Swansea and Gower's Rhossili Bay has been named Britain's best bank holiday beach, scoring 4.9 stars from 6,792 Google reviews. It is the only beach in the ranking to reach 4.9 at that scale, while Wales takes three of the top 10. At Rhossili Bay and the South Gower coast, Swansea, the National Trust listing covers a dramatic coastal stretch. Check tide times and allow extra time for the walk from parking areas to shore. Tenby South Beach in Pembrokeshire is fourth with 4.8 stars from 2,439 reviews. The long waterfront setting combines plenty of sand with Tenby close by, making a mixed beach-and-town day possible. Decide where to park before reaching the busiest streets and aim to arrive early.
