East Wing

Cardigan, Ceredigion

Situated in the picturesque town of Cardigan, Ceredigion, Wales, the East Wing of Cardigan Castle offers a luxurious self-catering experience steeped in history. This elegant holiday home, which accommodates up to eight guests in four en suite double rooms, is a beautifully renovated space that retains original features such as ancient slate flagstones and curved tower walls. The castle itself, believed to be the first stone castle built by a Welshman, celebrates its rich heritage dating back to 1176 when Lord Rhys ap Gruffydd hosted the inaugural Eisteddfod, a tradition of cultural festivals that persists today.

Guests of East Wing enjoy exclusive access to the castle grounds, allowing them to explore its rich history and partake in various events and performances held on-site. The castle is open to visitors from 10 am to 4 pm, but outside of these hours, the grounds are reserved for guests, providing a tranquil environment to unwind. The surrounding area of Cardigan is equally charming, featuring a vibrant market town atmosphere with a theatre, independent shops, galleries, and a selection of delightful eateries, including the castle's own restaurant, ‘1176’.

The accommodation itself is spread across three storeys, with a cozy sitting room on the top floor that boasts a wood burner and views of the castle grounds. The master bedroom features a king-size bed and an en suite bathroom equipped with luxury amenities. The ground floor houses three additional bedrooms, each adorned with antique furniture and en suite bathrooms, while the lower ground floor includes a fully equipped kitchen and dining area. The property is designed to provide comfort and convenience, with features such as a utility room and a private courtyard garden shared with the Gardener’s Cottage.

East Wing can be booked independently or in conjunction with other nearby accommodations, such as the Gardener’s Cottage and The Coach-house, offering flexibility for larger groups or families. Guests are encouraged to explore the castle gardens and grounds, with parking available for two cars within the castle premises. With check-in after 4 pm and check-out by 10 am, this luxurious retreat promises a memorable stay amidst the stunning backdrop of Cardigan Castle and the breathtaking beauty of Cardigan Bay.
