Ruthin Castle Hotel and Spa

When we arrived at the hotel we were amazed at the size of the gardens, views & the splendidness of the castle hotel itself. We had all the facilities of the hotel, & the only way to explain this is again by comparison really. For £65 we got full access to the hotel, including settees, sofas & real fires, we got a full english breakfast for 2 with amazing views in the "Peacock room", our room itself had ample supplies of coffee (both normal and decaff), biscuits & hot chocolate, heated towel rail & bath/shower massive high def tv, & again amazing views of the Ruthin Countryside. Compare this to perhaps a famous inn (of which there are many), which would cost £70 without breakfast, no heated towel rail & no biscuits/hot choc in room.

Cant think of anything bad to say about this hotel. There was a wedding party there at the time, so space was limited for a nice evening meal, but the staff (thanks to Rianna) who laid a special table for us near a fire in a quiet room, and treated us like royalty. There are options for an expensive "posh" waiter service retaurant or your usual pub style normal price food, which was magnificent - we opted for the latter. I would go again and again, there is no comparison here to the far more expensive famous inns up and down the country, which have less and less complimentary items day by day.

Room was cold- ancient heating- but a portable heater was supplied within 5 minutes. Very helpful staff

Beautiful castle in amazing historic grounds. Very friendly staff.

The un-refurbished rooms had no thermostat and the heating was on full blast, so we had to sleep with windows open, bit of a waste of energy.
