A Most Haunted Location...

Please read terms & conditions prior to booking. No under 18's, No alcohol or drugs allowed.

Craig Y Nos Castle was once the home of the world famous Soprano Madame Adelina Patti, who felt she had found the home of her dreams amid the calm isolation of this beautiful valley. For fifty years she entertained the rich and famous of the era including many of the crowned Kings and Queens of Europe. The castle's name alone strikes a romantic note and in rough translation means 'Rock of the Night'. Edward VII visited Craig-Y-Nos when he was still the Prince of Wales. For 25 years Adelina Patti sang by private invitation for Queen Victoria. The Grade One listed theatre at the Castle is modeled on the Bayreuth Opera House. Originally designed as a private auditorium where Madame Patti would enthrall all who came to hear her sing.

Since Patti's death, stories have been told of her benign presence being seen or felt over the years. The tiny figure of a lady dressed in black has been seen gliding across different rooms and drifting around the castle courtyard. One story tells of a lady pianist who sat at a piano in the theatre and felt a presence behind her. At her first attempt she played the whole of Patti's "Home Sweet Home" perfectly, before turning around to find no one there.  Quite recently the Most Haunted crew investigated the castle and held a séance, singing 'Home Sweet Home' in an attempt to coax an appearance from Adelina, to no avail.  Richard Felix stayed in Room 36, awaking to find a shadow moving in his room through the wall, which he later found out was once a doorway.  He also saw someone lying on his bed!  Who will be brave enough to hold a vigil in Room 36?...
