A typical Wedding Breakfast at Carreg Cennen Castle.
At Carreg Cennen Castle we are proud to be able to offer a relaxed and obliging
atmosphere that lends itself perfectly as a venue for those wanting a wedding
reception with an individual edge. Wherever possible we strive to accommodate

at these times, making it impossible for us to give the required attention

Our Project
for 2010 is to replace an existing building on the farm with another Wood
framed structure, along the same design lines as the barn, which will enable
us to provide a Venue for Wedding Ceremonies as well as the Wedding Breakfast.
