Bit disappointed overall we had a suite plagued by ladybirds mentioned this on checkout and they said it's not the first time it been mentioned but obviously not done anything about it. Place itself bit tired definitely not worth the money cost us 546.00 2 nights dinner bed and breakfast menu same both evening's not much choice only 4 starters and 4 main meals to choose from and 4 dessert, staff were very good, spa closed which we didn't know until we got there. Not recommend unfortunately.

Had a lovely relaxing time had an evening meal at Bertie's.
Poppy and Livvy were our lovely hosts and a credit to the restaurant catered for me because I'm a bit fussy with food lol. Hotel staff were friendly and again catered for your every need,went down to the Spa for a nice relaxing Hot tub too all in all a very nice stay there.

Full disclosure we did not stay here we just came here for a wander around the grounds and the inside. The staff were friendly and the grounds outside were nice with plenty of wildlife including peacocks and cheeky squirrels. The castle inside is kept quite authentic with lots of interesting architecture and things to see. Its in very slight disrepair in some places but that's unavoidable in buildings this old. If you like this kind of setting you should definitely consider staying here.

Really lovely building but needs some TLC. The staff were very pleasant but under staffed. It's in a great location and Ruthin is a lovely town. The evening meal was very tasty. Lots of potential to make this an incredible stay.
