One of the most sensational is Bodysgallen Hotel & Spa with award-winning grounds and views of Snowdonia. Another 17th-century gem is Newton House, a grade II listed building with fairytale turrets at Dinefwr.
Ride the railway
For something truly unique, ride the railway at Llangollen to mark your marriage.
The small suite at Llangollen Station is a pretty place to say, “I do”, but it’s the opportunity for pictures on the platform that draws couples to this venue. This is a picture-perfect spot with the traditional train in the foreground and the glorious Welsh countryside behind.
You can even take the steam train to your reception if you want an impactful and exciting exit.
Enchanting caves
Do you want your romantic spot to have that full fantasy feeling? Wales has a choice of enchanting caves that are sure to enrapture guests with their ethereal otherworldliness.
With its cascading waterfall, shimmering lake and delicate stalactites glittering on the ceiling, the Cathedral Cave is utterly awe-inspiring. Capacity is limited but for couples keeping guests to a minimum, it’s an unbeatable unique location.
If you or any of your guests have any accessibility needs, Dan-yr-Ogof Cave is an alternative for your wedding ceremony.
