Manja, Germany

David, Australia

There is very little that well make me go there again.

John, United Kingdom

That it was a fascinating old building with character. It could be a stunning place if more money was spent. The staff were lovely. The food was excellent. Despite the negatives we did enjoy our stay.

Paul, United Kingdom

We stayed in Lady Lily's Room. The room was very nostalgic but smelt of damp and would have benefited from a redecoration. The grounds were lovely to walk around especially the stone circle. We ate in the bar and the food was really tasty.

Fiona, United Kingdom

The Staff are very friendly especially Luke who worked in the bar. The food is very good and the grounds beautiful.😀 loved the peacocks😄

Julie, United Kingdom

The location in the town centre : the peacocks and their screeching/cries were very exotic and we walked in the extensive grounds. Our the room was quiet and we slept well; the terrace we sat on was warm and sunny . The breakfast was good with a lot of things to choose from as was the library bar meal. There was a good view from our room.

David, United Kingdom

The Castle itself is interesting with some lovely features and great history.

Mark, United Kingdom

The room was lovely and the bed so comfortable .The staff were very friendly. The lounges were cosy with artificial log fires which were warm Very relaxing.

Blanche, United Kingdom

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 boasts exquisite dining, a cooked Welsh breakfast, and a distinctive spa.

All rooms are individually styled using contemporary décor and all include a modern en suite bathroom. Every room has at least 1 flat-screen TV and some feature a large standalone bath and a four-poster bed.

Situated 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.

눉The so called Spa is a bit pointless. It closes at 5pm and opens at 10am (check out is at 11am). They said the restaurant is fully booked, even though there were no people eating. The service lied to the hotel guests, just because they didn't have enough service people that day. All that on a Sunday when there were no restaurants open. Very well done! Btw, the chairs in the garden fell apart, one couldn't sit on them without risking to break them. The rooms are noisy, walls are thin. Really a shame we made it all the way up there :-(
눇Nice surrounding and garden! Good food at the bar.

“Nice location but too expensive overall with bar prices particularly ridiculous and untrained staff.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Standard Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The bar prices were extortionate and the bar staff untrained and very slow. The pillows were hard - very uncomfortable. The whole place could do with a make over - sad silk flower arrangements and lots of chipped paint. The breakfast offer was adequate but not great - they ran out of milk and eggs and we had to ask the staff to replenish. The toast was underdone. The staff were incredibly young and you could see they were inexperienced. The rooms were grand but the windows really dirty. Would not recommend.
눇The grounds and location are lovely

“A really stunning, romantic place, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Historic and friendly.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Suite

눉If one has to be critical, the hotel looked a little tired in places- which is probably hard to avoid with a place so large and so old. But for instance the toilet in our room didn't flush- we had to open the cistern and trigger it that way. That was the most obvious example.. Also things like the odd gym machine being out of order, a few dead wasps on our carpet, cobwebs in the hallways, ripped hanging 'do not enter' tapes around the grounds, that sort of thing. This is a very minor point though- in general everything worked fine, and it doesn't really detract much from the place. The food at the restaurant was presented so beautifully, and the waiting staff were very courteous and attentive, but I'll admit we were a little disappointed when we ate it- just because it looked so fancy and so well done that you end up expecting so much. But mackerel was somehow dry, the pasta was undercooked and chewy, the duck a little overcooked, and the steamed pudding (while tasty) was dry and more like a sponge cake than a pudding- which didn't help me with my ongoing quest to explain pudding to my north American husband. That said we got a really good deal on the half board package, so we can't really complain as it was very reasonably priced - like I say, it's just the presentation was so so nice that it was a shame the cooking didn't quite match up, otherwise it really would have been something truly special. The wine list was extensive and reasonably priced though, and the choice throughout the menu (even for a vegetarian) was good. The thermal suite could be improved greatly with some sort of jacuzzi or something, if a pot of money became available for upgrading facilities..
눇The staff throughout this beautiful and fascinating place were really great. Very friendly, attentive and warm, and made our stay very enjoyable. The grounds and the building itself are stunningly beautiful to stroll around, with everything from a stone circle to a mediterranean walled garden. The suite we took was sumptuous and luxurious. The room was warm, the bed comfy, and the hot water was piping and came through quickly. Wifi was speedy and easy to connect to. Views from the room were lovely, and the grounds are very peaceful- with only the occasional peacock call cutting through the the calm. The Spa suite has a well equipped gym, a very nice sauna, and an excellent and good value masseuse with treatments available at short notice. The town of Ruthin is also very charming and full of beautiful old buildings. Close to areas of outstanding natural beauty too.

“2 nights half board offer. ”

눉We were disappointed on arrival as the room was no bigger than the bed and was well used with lots of stains and scuffs on the carpet. The bathroom was dirty with thick cobwebs on the top of the windows. We asked the duty manager if there was a larger room at the same tariff and he very kindly and efficiently upgraded us to a deluxe corner room that was more in line with a castle hotel. However although the room was a great size with a very comfortable bed it was again dirty with cobwebs, stains on the carpet, dusty surfaces and a towel rail that hadn't been cleaned for weeks. There was no toilet brush, bits on the bathroom floor that were there for two days and we had no glasses on the drinks tray. This is a well used wedding venue that is tired and worn. The spa closes at 5 and the gym at 6 which is disappointing if you are out exploring all day as you are back too late to use it. The menu is limited and wasn't going to be changed until Wednesday (we were there on Sunday and Monday). We weren't told this in time but you can eat in the bar from a different menu.
눇That it was a fascinating old building with character. It could be a stunning place if more money was spent. The staff were lovely. The food was excellent. Despite the negatives we did enjoy our stay.

눉The tap in the ensuite was very wobbly and we reported it to reception and was attended to quickly. It was disappointing to find out that the outdoor spa was closed down some time ago. It showed in the pictures when we booked our accommodation. The smell of damp in the room was not pleasant.
눇We stayed in Lady Lily's Room. The room was very nostalgic but smelt of damp and would have benefited from a redecoration. The grounds were lovely to walk around especially the stone circle. We ate in the bar and the food was really tasty.

눉The rooms if I'm honest could do with a little TLC. We stayed in the Glandwr Suite the walls was dirty and dust and cobwebs everywhere. The shower kept blocking. The suite itself was quiet and with a bit of TLC would be perfect.

눉Less background music and more tasteful perhaps. The bedroom lighting was not very bright for a room with dark colours on the walls. The shower over the bath had to be approached with care as there was no handrail to grip.
눇The location in the town centre : the peacocks and their screeching/cries were very exotic and we walked in the extensive grounds. Our the room was quiet and we slept well; the terrace we sat on was warm and sunny . The breakfast was good with a lot of things to choose from as was the library bar meal. There was a good view from our room.
