Breakfast was not worth £20 and considering the plumb tomatoes were cold and the other items were warm only I weren’t impressed. Breakfast starts at 07:30 hrs but was not on time any of the days I intended was another letdown, on the Friday ’my last day’ I went to breakfast at 07:30 hrs and waited 10 mins only for them to tell me they were taking orders for breakfast only so I missed out as I had the be at work from 08:00 hrs. Not impressed with this place at all, I won’t be going back.

Staff lovely, friendly and helpful. Food very nice as was the service. DSpa good value for money and restful, the outside hot tubs in the snow great fun. Room clean and tidy, decor a little tired but then again it is an 800+ year old building! did not at all detract from our stay

The room was very very tired , chipped bath, windows that don’t fully close, tea and coffee facilities closed in a filthy dingy cupboard, booked a double room for our wedding anniversary and we were given a room with two single beds pushed together. Would not return and would not recommend really disappointing stay

Ruthin Castle - Descent Stay

Ruthin Castle is a beautiful location with a good selection of rooms. Staff was friendly and parking was sufficient. A would rate it as a god mid-range stay. We did not take advantage of the spa services so we can not rate that aspect. Our main complaint was our room had a pretty bad sour / moldy smell. After a few minutes you are "nose-blind" to it, but it was a bit overwhelming when we first step into the room.

Amazing ancient monument in a great location. Superb place to stay. Lovely staff and great service. Standard room was a little tired, but ok. Breakfast was superb. Dinner menu is not very imaginative, bar and wine is expensive. Worth checking out other nearby options for food and drink.
