Windows in the room were rotten through and mouldy. The plug hole of the bath clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a while and I don’t think the room could have been decorated in 30 years. Although the hotel and grounds are beautiful the upkeep and cleanliness of the inside left a lot to be desired.

Fabulous stay at a stunning location

Fabulous stay here. Stunning location full of history and the grounds are beautiful. The staff were lovely, helpful, professional and the food at breakfast and the evening meals were delicious. Didn’t get chance to sample the spa this time but will be returning to do so. Many thanks for such a wonderful time.

An 800 year old castle, as you would expect, the facility is a little dated! But other than that, what am experience. Truly enjoyed our 4-days here. A good restaurant, a decent breakfast, and a very nice spa! Not sure I would stay again when in Northern Wales, many other options. But one time a must for anyone! And the peacocks, beautiful!

Peaceful place to stay

Great hotel if you want to stay in a castle it is kept to a good standard considering it is a castle , the staff are more than helpful and are all wanting to please you , we had evening meal which was very good which we both enjoyed, we are on a gluten free diet and it was no problem at all for them, the breakfast the next day was also really good , the grounds are also very nice to walk around and explore, we both enjoyed staying here thanks to all the hard working staff we most likely will return
