Llechwen Hall Hotel

Llechwen Hall Hotel is a manor house hotel at Llanfabon, near Pontypridd in South Wales. It stands on a hilltop with views over the Welsh countryside, around 20 minutes from Cardiff. It has 44 ensuite bedrooms and four different spaces for weddings.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Llechwen Hall is a strong fit for couples who want one team and one venue for the whole celebration. The hotel holds only one wedding each day, so the staff and the building are yours from arrival to the last dance. Weddings from 2 guests to 300 are catered for, which suits a quiet ceremony or a large party equally well.

Ceremonies

The hotel offers four spaces for weddings, each with a different character, including a permanent marquee alongside the manor house. Ask the team which space suits your guest numbers and how you would like the ceremony to feel.

Receptions and food

Wedding menus, canapés and grazing buffets are all on offer, and the kitchen works with local Welsh produce. Special diets are catered for, and there is a wine list and a bar. Outside alcohol is allowed with a corkage charge.

Staying

The hotel has 44 ensuite bedrooms, in four-poster, premium, superior and classic styles. Wedding packages include a complimentary stay on the wedding night and another for your first anniversary.

Getting there and the area

Llanfabon lies in the Rhondda Cynon Taf valleys, close to Pontypridd and about 20 minutes from Cardiff. The hotel has its own parking and landscaped gardens, which are useful for photographs.

The hotel describes itself as Welsh at heart, and the setting reflects it, with views across the valleys from the hill. Because the same team looks after the ceremony, the meal and the bedrooms, you deal with one point of contact before and during the day. The hotel also offers winter weddings and last-minute dates, so ask about availability if your plans are flexible. A visit is the best way to see the four spaces and decide which suits your guest list.
