Windows in the room were rotten through and mouldy. The plug hole of the bath clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a while and I don’t think the room could have been decorated in 30 years. Although the hotel and grounds are beautiful the upkeep and cleanliness of the inside left a lot to be desired.

Beautiful place to stay

Me and my hushad an amazing weekend for our 1st anniversary, food was excellent location was fantastic. Hottub in the forrest was an experience, although the Sauna was a little too small, not much value for money we paid on the twilight package we picked. Next time we would just book the hottub. Peacocks roaming around the grounds feeding out of your hands was something else. I would highly recommend a stay at Ruthin Castle.

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.
