Glandyfi Castle

Nestled in the Small Hamlet of Glandyfi, this Grade II-listed Castle is an intimate venue. Inconspicuously tucked away behind “The Great Wall of Glandyfi”, Glandyfi Castle stands in 40 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland. To the front of the Castle lies an estuary frontage and sea view, looking out to the small harbour resort of Aberdyfi. Ynys-hir RSPB Nature Reserve is 2 miles away, a testament to the wildlife surrounding this historic castle in Wales.

Glandyfi Castle is licensed for outdoor ceremonies. Its stunning landscaped gardens look down to the castle and out towards the estuary, making it the ideal venue for your picture-perfect outdoor ceremony.

The Castle is an intimate venue with a capacity to seat a maximum of 22 guests at the grand dining table situated within the Atrium. For Weddings of more than 22 guests (maximum capacity 150), additional marquee hire will be required. Glandyfi Castle has an ideal area in the gardens for marquee set-up, accessible via a footpath from the castle itself. The reception can be designed to suit your vision, working together with external suppliers for catering, drinks and entertainment.

With multiple entertainment rooms, eleven bedrooms, and facilities to complement, Glandyfi provides a luxurious experience for you and your guests. Glandyfi can welcome 22 guests for an overnight stay. Nine bedrooms have private bathrooms, and two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, making them ideal family suites. All bedrooms include a dressing table, wardrobe, hair dryer, and Smart TV. Towels and toiletries are provided for all bathrooms.

Dyfi is Glandyfi Castle’s Honeymoon Suite. It boasts a Superking bed, views across the Dyfi estuary, and a grand private bathroom with a shower and bath.

Glandyfi Castle operates as an exclusive-use venue with no supplier restrictions on food or drink.

Glandyfi Castle understands a wedding is personal so you can organise your desired culinary and entertainment experience. A welcome hamper of Welsh treats and prosecco is included in all wedding bookings, but Glandyfi Castle provides no other food or drink.
