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.
Randy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A lovely hotel with great staff. Rooms are a little tired, however, that is part of the charm
Andrew, 1-night trip

Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Yet another great stay at the Castle. Rooms always warm and clean but if you want operating theatre cleanliness this is perhaps not the place for you! We love this place for its character and of course the peacocks. Staff always friendly and helpful. See you again in a few weeks!
Peacocks can fly!
