Present Day
The Welsh Office maintained Craig-y-nos Castle and its unique theatre, until the castle was bought on a long term lease by a consortium of businessmen who formed the Craig y Nos Castle Company. During the long period of restoration, the castle remained open to the public, but after its sale to SelClene Ltd this ended. SelClene continued the restoration, and opened the castle as a hotel.
In 2005, the castle featured in the BBC Dr Who episode Tooth and Claw, featuring David Tennant as the Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose Tyler. The Torchwood crew later stayed at this hotel and filmed some scenes when filming Countrycide.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“It is very considerably smaller than Australia and British Somaliland put together. As things stand at present there is nothing much the Texans can do about this, and ... they are inclined to shy away from the subject in ordinary conversation, muttering defensively about the size of oranges.”
—Alex Atkinson, British humor writer. repr. In Present Laughter, ed. Alan Coren (1982)
“The phenomena of the year take place every day in a pond on a small scale. Every morning, generally speaking, the shallow water is being warmed more rapidly than the deep, though it may not be made so warm after all, and every evening it is being cooled more rapidly until the morning. The day is an epitome of the year. The night is the winter, the morning and evening are the spring and fall, and the noon is the summer. The cracking and booming of the ice indicate a change of temperature.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
