This hotel is built into an old castle. You can walk around the ancient castle sections and there's information about the history which is all really interesting. Plenty of parking and lovely grounds. Nice restaurant and bar and spacious bedroom.

It’s kind of 2 castles, the real one and the Victorian addition so a great mismash. Yes it needs more staff on the cleaning and maintenance side and another gardener who doesn’t just blow leaves around with a leaf blower but it also has some some wonderful views and a great place to just wander around to the cries of the peacocks. Our suite had recently been revamped so big roll top bath, loads of hot water and 2tv’s, one in each room. Fresh milk available from the bar and ok Wi-Fi. Dinner was good esp. my battered pork and oriental coleslaw. Breakfast not so great, only fruit to go with the yoghurt tinned grapefruit and prunes poor quality coffee and fatty bacon but for the price was OK. The real reason to stay is you can wander around the various nooks and crannies and on a sunny day that’s good enough. Bar and dining room both very dark and not so clean with dust n cobwebs everywhere. The town is just beyond the gatehouse so easy stroll to have a wander around Ruthin too. We had a DBnB deal midweek which was good and pleased we stayed, it could be more pleasant if cleaner and better maintained but then would probably cost 50% more so for us we’d accept it as it is but just be prepared for the dust n grubbiness and think well it is a castle (or 2)

An 800 year old castle, as you would expect, the facility is a little dated! But other than that, what am experience. Truly enjoyed our 4-days here. A good restaurant, a decent breakfast, and a very nice spa! Not sure I would stay again when in Northern Wales, many other options. But one time a must for anyone! And the peacocks, beautiful!

Great stay in a Castle

Great stay at a lively castle. Does need some TLC in places but there again it is very old obviously very expensive to keep on top of things. The only real gripe we had was the cost of drinks - £7 a pint!!! Would have loved to spend more time in the bar and the castle grounds but far too expensive for the drinks. Otherwise a fantastic stay and some fabulous scenic walks and a couplebof really nice restaurants in the town. Definitely recommended

Hot breakfast cold either under done n cold or over cooked n hard or nothing in the bain marie, kept having to ask for anything no one monitored, all in all poor , we only live 5 mins away but this was supposed to be a treat wont be going again
