Views

Indulge in leisurely breakfasts, refreshing nature walks and wildlife spotting, lazy afternoon naps on the enormous, velveteen sofas, before topping off a perfect day with a dinner option of your choice.

The castle has six bedrooms with views over the coast and surrounding countryside. The interior has been given a tasteful, contemporary look that highlights the ancient stone that forms this towering structure.

All of Roch Castle's bedrooms are en-suite and are equipped with all the expected necessities. The beds combine the highest quality Sealy mattresses with hypo-allergenic Comforel topper, duvet and pillows and 300-thread-count linens, ensuring a delightfully satisfying night’s sleep.

Specially commissioned works by five local artists are displayed around the castle.

There is a spacious lounge with comfortable sofas, but the jewel of the castle is “The Sun Room”, located on the fourth floor, which has floor-to-ceiling glass walls and an alfresco-viewing platform on the original battlements, affording guests a scenic and special space to relax.

History

Roch Castle was first constructed in 1195 on what is known as the “Landsker Line”. This imagined line crosses east to west through southern Wales, and represents the historical division between English and Welsh-speaking Wales. At the time of its construction, Roch Castle served as one of a group of border strongholds that fortified Anglicised Wales from the independent Welsh to the North.

Wayne, United KingdomFabulous place supported by fabulous friendly staff who made the visit that extra bit special. The breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever eaten. We will definitely be booking again.
Garnet, CanadaAmazing tasteful restoration. The Roch Castle was very quiet and comfortable. Facility was spotless, and staff was very charming and elegant. Breakfast was wonderful, and we would highly recommend staying here.
Glenn, United StatesAmazing. My hats off to your Architects and Contractors who rebuilt it, and the really nice folks you have running the Castle. This was the best of the best of all the places we stayed on our three week UK adventure. Both our room and the breakfasts were excellent. While it may be a bit of a drive if you are coming out of LHR, it is well worth the trip.
John, United StatesExcellent in all respects.
