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.

Amazing ancient monument in a great location. Superb place to stay. Lovely staff and great service. Standard room was a little tired, but ok. Breakfast was superb. Dinner menu is not very imaginative, bar and wine is expensive. Worth checking out other nearby options for food and drink.
