We stayed in Room 115 and unfortunately, our experience was far from enjoyable. The constant slamming of doors throughout the night made it nearly impossible to get any rest. The noise was disruptive, and we barely managed to sleep. The breakfast was equally disappointing. Considering the price, we expected much better. The buffet was nearly empty, and we ended up feeling like we would have had a better experience at a local Weatherspoon’s, which was a real letdown. As for the spa facilities, they simply weren’t worth the price. They didn’t live up to the expectations set by the hotel’s branding. While the location is beautiful, and the building itself has a lot of potential, the overall experience was far too overpriced for what we received. It’s a shame because the area has so much to offer, but unfortunately, this hotel didn’t deliver.

Interesting building but no atmosphere of welcome. Tired rooms my bedroom / bathroom smelt of drains. bathroom whilst very nice to look at smelled moldy and took 20 mins to get any amount of hot water as it trickled out. Bedroom was large but carpet worn. Very long walk to room in strange basement area. Did not feel very safe. Bed was lumpy. Restaurant pricey and average. Grounds and views are beautiful but hotel lacks any warmth. Ruthin lovely hill town worth visiting

Great hotel and helpful staff members. We stayed in the Prince of Wales Suite which was lovely, had a couple of issues but were resolved by hotel staff. We would stay here again.

My boyfriend and I had a lovely 3 night stay at this wonderful hotel. Staff were very pleasent and acomdating and catered for our pet dog. Wonderful surroundings and civer lots of history. Had a lovely old feel and very relaxed attitude and not stuck up. Not the most modern but you can get that anywhere. Brilliant architecture. Would visit again.
