Had a wonderful stay for one night. It is a castle and do not expect the luxury of a 5 star hotel as they are keeping it authentic. Good sized. Bathroom and very comfortable. Great grounds that you can walk for miles. Staff excellent and dining room superb.

Beautiful place, beautiful town.
Lovely, characterful place to stay in a beautiful town. Friendly staff, lovely grounds, beautiful country walks just a short walk away, the town was a little quiet on a Tuesday night but we still found a lovely restaurant to eat in. Highly recommended!

Impressive property,beautiful grounds, lovely room,showerhead had pink mould,abit off putting but generally good .You can't sit outside to eat in the evening which is a shame and the casual dine menu that is on till 9 isn't.Check in 3 pm quite late if you have a baby but check out was 12.The lady in charge of restaurant taking payment never smiled or spoke,the other members of staff Kate and Barbara on reception very proffesional.Breakfast underwhelming,fruit salad I imagined allsorts but was prunes and oranges only.Bread was ready sliced plastic wrap bread.Peacocks,rabbits the odd sheep wonderful to observe.7 out of 10.We would return but lower expectations for breakfast.

Pleasant large air conditioned room. Nice surroundings. Good value for money. We will return. Only negative was damp on ceiling, which we could forgive due to nature of the building and being on the third floor. The cleaning could have been a little better also.

Lovely, quirky place to stay but tired rooms.
We stayed at Ruthin Castle for the second year in a row, and I have to say it did not go as smoothly as last year. We were offered an upgrade to a feature room, but it did not meet our needs so had to move to a 3rd room which was also far from ideal. The staff tried there best to help us but it proved to be a stressful experience finding a room we were happy with. We were booked for 3 nights, but did not properly unpack until late on Day 2. In hindsight, we should have kept the room we were given at the start as the upgrade offered proved to be a mistake.

Fascinating building in a beautiful setting.We required a room with our dog so chose a suite. On arrival we were blown away by the premises and it's location. Impressive entrance and brilliant receptionist, who showed me our room. Walking through the hotel, looking at the decor, artworks and history was a bonus. The suite we had, fulfilled all our needs especially as we had our dog. Apart from the bedroom with a bath, we had a shower room , study and walk in wardrobe.The extensive gardens and countryside were a pleasure to walk and the town was a 5 minute walk away. We enjoyed the food there and the garden was a great place to have a meal and drink. The peacocks were amazing and ok around our dog who even though a puppy wasn't bothered by them.The staff were very friendly and great with our dog. We booked the premises as a base to visit Snowdonia and Chester areas. The staff gave us a leaflet on the history of the building and castle, which helped appreciate the building even more. A wonderful experience and we will definitely return .
