*8.7* Ruthin Castle: only 6 minutes away! (1,450 feet by foot)
Lovely hotel in a lovely setting, this is the 7th time we have been now.
United KingdomThe setting of the castle is unique, even though most rooms are located in annexes with far less character. The library bar is beautiful and cosy. Very comfortable rooms.
BelgiumBetter to eat in the Bar area. Food just as nice as restaurant. Much faster and more enjoyable.
Australiathis Castle need some makeover. From out side its a castle but within it, nothing royal. I have stayed quite few palaces before this and this is the reason we traveled to stay in the castle. Make people go back to its history. this Building needs the magic. place as a whole has magic and people too are very good.
United KingdomThe breakfast was amazing great choice of food. Very well set out i enjoyed every mouthful. There was plenty of rooms around the tables so no knocking into each other all in all a great experience. 10 out of 10
United KingdomEverything was beyond what we expected! It was amazing!
United States of AmericaThe hotel was excellent, and the castle ruins and gardens were beautiful. The breakfast was very good with a wide choice, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Ruthin was a lovely town with good pubs and restaurants. Sadly we did not see any of the ghosts. Would highly recommend this hotel if you stay in the area.
United KingdomGreat location, fantastic building a real feeling of history. On the whole the staff are friendly and very helpful. Rooms where spotless and the room turned down while we ate, very nice upon our return. The town is very nice and worth a visit. Good value for money, I enjoyed my stay.

Ruthin Castle Hotel and Spa offers a retreat steeped in history and nestled in acres of parkland. Next to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in North Wales, the castle dates back to the legend of King Arthur. It features exquisite dining, a cooked Welsh breakfast, and a distinctive spa.
All rooms are individually styled using contemporary décor and all include a modern private bathroom. Every room has at least 1 flat-screen TV and some feature a large standalone bath and a four-poster bed.
Located beside the rustic woodland grounds of the castle's moat, the spa offers a selection of treatments. Guests can also enjoy a calming relaxation area and thermal suite, with a sauna and steam room.
The English town of Chester is less than a 40-minute drive away and so is the start of the M53 Motorway. Gwydyr Forest Park is 20 miles west of the hotel and 20 miles south of that lies the Snowdonia National Park.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.

Host Info
A wooden fort appears to have existed on the site until 1277 when King Edward I of England reconstructed it in local stone and granted it to Dafydd, brother of Prince Llewelyn ap Graffudd. All that now remains are three towers and the ruined double-towered gatehouse. In 1282 the castle came under the control of The Marcher Lord, Reginald de Grey, reputedly the former Sheriff of Nottingham of the Robin Hood story, and his family owned the castle for the next 226 years. The third Baron de Grey's dispute with Owain Glyndwr triggered the Welsh rebellion against King Henry IV in 1400, when Glyndwr burned Ruthin to the ground, leaving only the castle and a few other buildings standing. During the English Civil War in 1646 the castle survived an eleven-week siege, after which it was demolished by order of Parliament. The castle was rebuilt in the 19th century as a country house and from 1826 until 1921 the castle was the home of the Cornwallis-West family, members of Victorian and Edwardian high society. Please note the hotel holds regular functions on weekends - please check with the hotel in advance if you are concerned this may affect your stay.
