I came here for the daughters wedding and what a location, beautiful scenery/views, lovely buildings, nice rooms and the best thing about it is that the staff are all absolutely fantastic! They can't do enough to help with the wedding arrangements, facilities are available before the big day (I assume subject to availability) for setting everything up, they'll do their best to help whenever/wherever they can. Thoroughly recommend this location for any celebration, suitable for those wet days for things to be held inside, or plently of lovely locations for the nicer day and it can be held outside. As I say, all the staff are brilliant but I have to give a special message and thankyou to Caroline. Caroline made the breakfasts each morning but always welcoming and ready to chat! A lovely lady! Thankyou to everyone, and cannot recommend this location highly enough!!!

A fantastic location for a wedding, fantastic location with fantastic staff

Rhosygilwen offered everything we could dream of for our special day. The staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect, from start to finish. We are particularly thankful for having James' help. Highly recommend.

Perfect wedding venue

Not worth paying for, for a wedding venue, it was awful. A bar with no draughts. I’ve never seen anything like it. The staff weren’t all that good either. Maintenance  on the building is far from good. Avoid at all costs

Wedding.

Splendid accomodation in a beautiful part of the world. Gabby v welcoming and gave us excellent tips on what to see and where to eat out. Glen Breda and all the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. Rooms comfy and first class breakfast. Highly recommended

Rhosygilwen

Second time here, an annual “must” , not only the staff are welcoming and very helpful but the local countryside and the grounds are unspoilt. Did a painting course with the celebrated modern landscape artist David Tress. All well organised. Last year attended a exceptional chamber music concert. Their grate hall is a magnificent structure that makes the Rhosygilwen very versatile. Okay it's not plush, but it is special, verging on the magical. The food excellent, a little limited on the wine selection. And comfortable 

A magical out of the way manor with exceptional charm.

We were invited to the Rhos….. by friends who live locally, and were very pleased they had asked us. Tickets were purchased for the “West Side Story” performance and we arrived to see a most convivial, pretty venue with easy parking, and a warm welcome.  We had bought our picnic and noticed that lots of seating areas were being “bagged” so we found an older table and did the same for the second half .  I like smaller intimate venues and although snug, I was amazed how this performance was put on in such a tight space.  The main leads were incredible, their vocal range and singing quality was that of a West End show.  For the price of the tickets this was excellent value and you didn’t have to pay over £100 to get to the West End and have taxis and tubes and trains to contend with.  My husband and I both really enjoyed it, even though he confesses to not like shows much!  We enjoyed our picnic outside and the weather was kind.  The second half was just as good as the first and we were soon swept away in the emotional rollercoaster that is West Side Story. Even my husband spilt a tear at the ending…A cracking show and a lovely evening, hope we will be able to come another time… its worth the 6 hour road journey from Bedfordshire!

Superb performance West Side Story

We recently made our second visit to Rhosygilwen and it was every bit as enjoyable as our first trip.  On this occasion we went to see a guitar recital. We did have a little initial difficulty in finding anyone there to book us in but once this was sorted we settled into a comfortable, charmingly decorated room with all the necessary facilities for a short stay. Our evening meal was delicious and Glen and Brenda were most gracious hosts.  The music was out of this world and the chance to chat to guitarist Craig Ogden after the concert made it even more special.  We had a plentiful, delicious breakfast the next morning before heading home.  The whole atmosphere was one of relaxation and welcome and we look forward to a third visit.

Wonderful

We stayed here two nights for a wedding. I cannot fault the location for a wedding venue - it is idyllic.  The catering was excellent and the Orangery where the wedding was held was a fabulous location.  However, our room left a lot to be desired. Upon arriving we found little bugs on our pillows which we removed, we then saw bigger bugs crawling on our bed linen (see photos).  We stripped back the beds and found no further bugs.  Then we found dead flies on the coffee table which we knocked onto the floor. Upon returning that night we found more live bugs on our bed. Once again beds stripped no further bugs.  We then noticed more dead flies on the carpet.  We assumed they would be vacuumed up the next day when the room was cleaned - they weren’t.   Both nights we went back to our room and had to check and debug before retiring.  On the final morning my daughter woke up to bugs crawling on her quilt!    We had one hand towel between two of us !  We obviously didn’t want to upset the wedding party by complaining so waited until it was time to leave.  Apologies by staff were given and we were told that the room has an issue with flies and that it’s vacummed 2/3 times a day. That is not true the same flies were there for 3 days !  The “honesty” bar - there was no price list you just wrote down what you drank. We had 12 glasses of wine - which equates to two bottles.  We were charged 4.99 a glass and not £15 per bottle of wine.  This did not feel “honest” on the part of the mansion. Once again had it not been a wedding celebration I would have complained more bitterly.  Obviously the mansion is old and is probably a listed building but the rooms within the mansion are tired and need updating.  Would I recommend?  Yes as a wedding venue but No as hotel accommodation.  I would not want an overnight stay there again.

Fabulous wedding venue rooms not so good

Just been on a week’s art course at this wonderful mansion. 

What a special welcome from the owners, all was informal, relaxed and inspiring by their lovely atmosphere. Okay it’s not a five star hotel, but the facilities, food, the building and grounds are really very special. 
The first evening had a truly wonderful concert, with world class players, the week was then taken up with an excellent five day landscape painting course lead by the distinguished and successful artist David Tress, which was both most instructive and entertaining. 
The owners and staff could not have done more to make the course more enjoyable for us all. Well done Brenda, Peter and Gabby. I’m really looking forward to returning.

Residential course

When our yoga group arrived at Rhosygilwen after a challenging trip from London by rail and taxi we were captivated by the beauty of this Victorian mansion and its sweeping grounds. We spent four days in this Pembrokeshire retreat doing yoga in the morning in a modern light-filled events building and spending our afternoons on guided walks through the trails of the surrounding farms and forests. We had most of our meals on the property and were delighted by the ingenuity of the menu and its reliance on the bounty of the household garden. The chef pointed out his childhood home, which was just over the hill, and he shows his commitment to his roots by preparing locally-sourced food in creative and delicious ways. Our group took over the entire house as well as the courtyard rooms and, although the spaces varied greatly as to size and grandeur, we all felt well accommodated. The dining room and its over-sized table seated us all, and the grand drawing rooms at the mansion’s entrance were perfectly suited to our end-of-day gatherings. The name Rhosygilwen means “Moor of the Fair Nook” and a romantic air permeates the property. The owners began to restore the fire-damaged mansion in 1994 and they have paid careful attention to retaining the charm of the building while updating it to modern standards. To fall deeper under the spell of the property, I read the novel “Landsker” written by Brenda Squires, one of the owners. Squires sets her story in a Rhosygilwen-style setting and has us imagine a young woman in the 1920’s who has to pry herself away from the confines of this jewel box to liberate herself from the constraints of the day. We, however, can both be liberated and enjoy the delights of this very special place.
