4-star medieval castle hotel with a dedicated spa in a former moat
Rooms
All rooms at Ruthin Castle Hotel And Spa are individually styled and include a modern en suite bathroom. Each room has at least one flat-screen TV, and some rooms feature a large standalone bath or a four-poster bed. The hotel offers designated pet-friendly accommodations with direct access to the parkland.
Dining
Fine dining at Bertie's restaurant uses local and seasonal produce from North Wales. The hotel also serves a cooked Welsh breakfast and an exceptional afternoon tea in historic surroundings. For a lighter meal, the Tafarn y Ddraig bar offers a medieval-themed setting with authentic Welsh dishes.
Spa & Wellness
The BAZAAR Spa is located in the castle's former moat and offers a selection of treatments including massage, facials, body scrubs, and wraps. Guests can use the sauna, steam room, and a calming relaxation area, plus outdoor woodland hot tubs. Access to the spa must be pre-booked and is available for guests aged 16 and over (an extra charge applies for residents).
Grounds & Activities
The castle sits in acres of parkland next to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in North Wales. Guests can explore the gardens, spot the resident peacocks, or follow the history trail with placards detailing the castle's 1277 origins. Hiking and cycling are directly accessible from the hotel, with Snowdonia National Park 20 miles south.
Pet-Friendly & Family
Designated dog-friendly rooms are available, and pets can explore the acres of parkland on leads (due to roaming peacocks). The hotel provides family rooms and a children's activity area within the grounds. A pre-bookable afternoon tea can be enjoyed indoors or outdoors, where peacocks often wander.
