From the minute we arrived until the minute we left, we had a fantastic experience at Ruthin Castle. We received a warm welcome from the front desk staff who were only too willing to provide information and help us with bags.
The hotel is exactly what you expect for a castle in North Wales. Stunning grounds, beautiful ancient building, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable.
The restaurant is also very good: the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and the decor is so clearly not affected, but genuinely the result of taking a large room in an ancient castle and turning it into a restaurant. The food was uniformly high quality and we particularly enjoyed the Pork Belly Bites as a starter and the excellently prepared steak.
The only small downside was breakfast, It wasn't bad per-se, but we felt that it wasn't up to the same standard as the previous evening's dinner. Like I said... not great but not bad.
The very minor breakfast quibble aside, our experience was nothing short of delightful.
A strong recommendation!
