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.

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.
