We were looking for a hotel that would accept our pet dog and Craig-Nos Castle proved the perfect place. We were made to feel at home as soon as we walked through the door. We were shown to our room and everybody made a fuss of the dog. The room was very clean and comfortable with tea/coffee making facilities and television. There was plenty of room for us and the dog. The hotel grounds were a perfect area to exercise the dog and it abuts a Country Park which is additional walking space leading to some very long walks. As it is located in a very picturesque part of South Wales it is handy for visits to the countryside or the beach. We will be going again for a few days next month, March, with a family friend. All together a very pleasurable stay and would recommend this hotel to anybody who wants to stay in the South Wales area.

We stayed here early
last year and were very impressed. This year on our return the first
impressions were not only equalled but excelled. The room was
excellent and the standard of service equal to that. We have two
Great Danes and they were loved by all who met them. Our dogs
do cause us problems in trying to find a welcome, but this hotel
surpasses anything we have experienced before. If you are a dog owner/lover you must give Craig-y-nos top priority on your list of places to stay. You won't be disappointed. The staff do everything they can to make you welcome and the food is of excellent standard. Be prepared to put on weight ! |

| 15-01-08.. from Selsdon | We stayed in the Gatehouse the week before Christmas and enjoyed every minute. We have stayed several times before and although there is building work going on it has never been a problem and they are only too willing to show you round and explain what is going on. It is lovely to go to a hotel that doesn't have a problem with dogs. We enjoyed the walks in the Country Park and in the surrounding area. |
| 07-12-07.. from Blackwater | "The perfect antidote to stress" I booked this hotel at the last minute for a short break at half-term. The experience started the moment I spoke to the receptionist on the telephone and I was left in no doubt that nothing would be too much trouble. My husband and I have two dogs that we never leave behind when we go on holiday. It was so nice to find a hotel where we could take the dogs and the bonus was that they could come in the bar with us when we ate in the evening. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. The castle grounds are beautiful in themselves, just great for walking the dogs and there are loads more lovely walks to do from the castle (and nearby) through fabulous countryside, details of which we downloaded from the excellent hotel website. Being keen on wildlife I was delighted to spot dippers on the rivers which run through the castle grounds. It is handy for visiting attractions such as Brecon Mountain Railway and the Red Kite feeding station. |

| 29-10-07..Mrs T Barritt from Saundersfoot | So lovely to be able to bring our dog with us and to be made to welcome. We saw quite a lot of the park because the weather was so good and our dog thought it was fantastic. |
| 24-10-07..Mrs Maggie Vidler from Owlsmoor | We had a wonderful time at Craig-y-Nos. Loved the castle, loved the country park, the list goes on. It was great to be able to bring our dog, he loved it too! We'll be back and I have already spread the word to friends who have children and dogs. |

| 27-09-07..Mr Merlyn Denholm from Bilston | We were pleased that we could bring our dog into the bar area, a lot of places are not dog friendly. It was a very relaxing place and we plan to visit again. The dog loved the gardens and has sulked since coming home! |
