Plas Dinam Country House

Plas Dinam is a country house in the village of Llandinam in Powys, a few miles from Newtown in Mid Wales. You book the whole house and its gardens, with views over the surrounding hills. The wedding weekend runs for at least two days.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

GLW recommends Plas Dinam for couples who want privacy and time. The house and grounds are yours alone for the weekend, so you set the pace. There are no set caterers or drinks rules, so you can build a celebration that reflects you. You and your guests also stay together on site, which gives the wedding a house party feel. Everyone wakes up in the same place the next morning.

Ceremonies

You have several choices. Indoors, the drawing room holds up to 60 guests, the hall up to 120 and the Stables up to 160. Outdoors, the back lawn suits larger ceremonies with mountain views, and a woodland clearing overlooks the wildflower meadow. The church of St Llonio is within walking distance. Ask the venue how the legal side of the ceremony is arranged.

Receptions and food

The Stables is a glass-roofed party barn with a dance floor, a bar and a kitchen, and it seats up to 160 for a meal. You can choose a caterer from the venue list of trusted suppliers or cook for yourselves in the family kitchen. You can bring your own drinks, and there is no corkage charge.

Staying

The main house has 15 bedrooms and sleeps 34. Further bedrooms are in the Lodge and the Chauffeurs loft, and bell tents are set up in the grounds in summer. Two nights of accommodation are included.

Getting there and the area

Llandinam lies in the Severn valley. Newtown, the nearest town, has a railway station. The grounds include gardens, an orchard, a wildflower meadow and wild swimming pools.
