Manorhaus Ruthin

Absolutely fantastic stay. The host was very polite and friendly. We ate in the restaurant on the Friday night and the food, drink and service was 10/10. The bedroom was immaculate and had every thing we needed. Lots of nice extras such as a cafetiere with coffee in the room, dressing gowns and toiletries. Perfect location . Will definitely return in the future.

Unfortunately we didn’t love it here.||It is a lovely boutique style hotel, with some lovely touches like a cafetière in the room, dressing gown and slippers, and the decor was very nice, run by a lovely gentleman and his partner.||But there were a few very fundamental things that really let the place down.||The lock on our door was broken meaning it wouldn’t lock from the inside. It didn’t have a latch, so you needed to lock it just to shut it.|The man was very helpful but couldn’t fix it so we just had to ram a chair against the door to keep it closed.|It was downstairs right next to the front door, so we didn’t feel very secure and just didn’t know if someone would just wander in.|Turned out only 2 of the rooms were taken that night so in hindsight why didn’t he just put us in a secure room!?||It took until late the next day to resolve by giving us an alternative key, after me chasing and calling to follow up.||That evening we thought it might be nice to have a drink in the bar….hit there was no ice, which is quite fundamental for a bar really. |Then we were charged £18 for 2 gin and tonics! |Jolly glad we only had one!!||We chose not to have breakfast as well was that was also rather overpriced.||There was also little things like you had to unplug the tv to boil the kettle!||And the bed had a weird hard ridge round the outside and when you lay on it you were slightly tilted backwards.||Anyway it was ‘fine’ just a little bit like it was trying to be something special and it wasn’t and hugely disappointing that they thought it was ok to offer us no solution to the lock issue / pretty basic.

Arrived and followed the comprehensive instructions to gain access to the property, find our room and collect parking permit - all went without a hitch. Nearby carpark has lots of space but can drop off at the door. Pass works across the county which is a real bonus. Room was dramatically decorated in dark tones and floral paper - and really worked. We had said we were bringing our dog - a bed and bowls were waiting for her in our room. Fresh ground coffee and cafetière in the room too. Small details - big impression. We had breakfast on both mornings - wonderful Welsh breakfast (with amazing bacon) freshly cooked to order. Dining area is informal and full of interesting art. In the basement there is a fantastic 20-seat cinema. Gavin & Chris put on films with a themed 2-course menu that residents can attend, but is open to locals - we got a quick preview: sound quality and seating are impressive and the setting is unique. Look at their website for details - we want to return for the experience. Perfect location to explore the whole town on foot; garden furniture to sit quietly and read if you want. Lovely hosts, lovely stay in this historic but very comfortable quirky accommodation.

Very nice building, conveniently situated in the centre of Ruthin. Very helpful and friendly staff . Excellent food

We had a lovely weekend staying at Manorhaus. The room was stylish, spacious, clean and comfortable. It is a lovely old building only a minute walk from the centre of Ruthin, which is a pretty town with some fantastic architecture. We eat at the hotel the second night and the food and service were the best. We hope to return soon. Dominic

This is our second stay with Gavin and Christopher at Manorhaus and we'll be back! ||The food is amazing, another level, wonderful local produce, cooked ro perfection and presented with care and flair. Breakfast has loads of choice and is beautifully presented. We are in all three nights and the food was absolutely delicious and complemented by an excellent drinks selection.||Gavin and Christopher are very welcoming and have put lots of lovely touches in the room. The room had a lovely view of the hills we walked in just before we arrived.||The location is lovely, a very easy walk round the town and parking is a very short walk. The parking permit allowed us to park for free in Denbigh too.

We just returned from a lovely stay in the Manor Haus Ruthin. Having booked the midweek break on recommendation from family, we were not disappointed.||||The room was clean and spacious (we upgraded to the suite) and the breakfast was of excellent quality. We had a great nights sleep and enjoyed a bath by the window.||||Gavin was available when we needed assistance, drinks, food and overall it was one of the nicest stays we have had. Added to this it was excellent value, as were used to paying much more for much less! ||||We will be back, thank you 😊

Thoughtfully appointed rooms, welcoming hosts and good value for proper hotel in Ruthin whilst visiting family. Comfortable bed and unusually manages to be fun, stylish and just what we were looking for away for the weekend. ||In addition to the room, having to work for some of the weekend, the upstairs library was perfect place to complete activity whilst also reading travel materials and lifestyle magazines too helpfully. Highly recommended.

Let us not get confused here. All this fusion crap going on with trying to make food more 'interesting' has unfortunately spilled over into the accommodation business. Fundamentally it means that people fill a place full of tat and upsell by saying their bed and breakfast is now a 'Boutique Hotel' and charging double or even triple what the going rate is. I have paid far less in London for hotels far better than this. I paid a Kings ransom purely because it was a last minute booking and I was going to be out until the wee hours at a local gig and it seems this was enough to bump u the price. To top it all, I missed the roll call for breakfast and they didn't even offer to make up a small plate or pot of Tea in lieu. I managed to get a laff out of the experience though, as I was leaving it started to piss down and, because they don't have parking, I had to walk half a mile to recover the vehicle. The 'Manager' opened the door for me and basically shut it immediately behind me without a word of goodbye or the offer of an umbrella. I felt about as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit. It was so existential it actually made me laugh out loud. For the record .... A boutique is "a small store that sells stylish clothing, jewelry, or other usually luxury goods".The word is French for "shop". By literal definition, it is not a fucking hotel.

The Manorhaus in Ruthin is a charming gem of hotel run by 2 fellows with exquisite taste. The hotel's exterior is a bit drab but once you get inside, it is comfortably (if eclectically) decorated. I am not a fan of modern art but even I was intrigued by the unusual photographs and paintings which apparently change out from time to time. In fact, it felt a bit like being in a hip fun art gallery. Our room was well appointed with a comfortable bed, a flat screen TV, a DVD player and excellent reading lights. The hotel has a small sauna, a delightful reading room/library filled with the latest design magazines and large selection of current DVD's to play back in your room. We booked a half-board stay and really enjoyed the food at the Manorhaus. In fact, the best dessert of our trip to the UK was their Lemon Tart with homemade Honey Ice Cream! We even tried to get the recipe but they politely refused as there are plans to eventually market it. (it is THAT GOOD!). There were several breakfast offerings ranging from healthy to typical fried breakfast foods.
