Hensol Castle is a 17th-century castle perfectly placed within 650 acres of Welsh countryside. Sympathetically renovated and boasting a modern décor throughout, the castle has arched windows, oak panelling, and sweeping staircases. Those of you looking to stay the night will love the new luxury bedrooms; each has bespoke features such as roll-top baths and four-poster beds.

Celebrate in style
Ceremonies are held in the resplendent Oak Room or outside under the bandstand, which offers impressive views of the Welsh countryside.

Receptions take place in the purpose-built Courtyard Hall, which has a luxurious décor throughout and space for 150 of your guests for the wedding breakfast and 200 for the evening reception.

We love...
The castle sells its award-winning gin in miniature form, which is perfect as wedding favours. It’s distilled in the cellars at Hensol Castle Distillery, and you can choose between having the miniatures personalised or sticking with Hensol Castle’s branded bottles.
