"It's was an experience we wanted, to stay in a castle. The Ruthin Castle has a ton of history. It's a bit run down but I guess that could be the charm. The bathroom was beautiful, the rooms (bedroom and living room) were large. Overall, the place seemed quiet and dark. There is not a lot to do in Ruthin. The staff was nice and the room was clean."

"Room was clean, comfortable with good air con. All staff were helpful during stay. No chef for evening meals either night of stay. Was not informed about this on arrival."

"Here’s a polished, firm but fair review you can use (keeps your key points but strengthens the impact): I stayed at Crabwall Manor Hotel & Spa (room 50) and unfortunately had a very poor experience. I was not informed at the time of booking that a wedding would be taking place. I have no issue with events being held, but the noise continued until around 1am and made it impossible to get any sleep. When I raised this with staff, I was simply told “there’s nothing we can do as it’s a wedding.” No attempt was made to offer a solution, such as moving rooms or finding any compromise, which was very disappointing. In my view, this falls short of the standard expected under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, as the service was not provided with reasonable care and consideration for guests. The following morning, the reception staff were equally disappointing—dismissive and lacking any real acknowledgement of the issue. A more professional and empathetic response would have gone a long way. To add to this, the breakfast was poor. The quality of the food felt cheap, and the presentation and appearance of staff did not inspire confidence in hygiene standards. For a stay costing over £100, I expected a much higher standard across the board. "

"Rooms were dated, tv worked occasionally,safes did not work,bathroom shower mould on floor tiles. Room key did not work properly had to keep returning to reception to get there master key."

"The best breakfast we’ve ever had in a hotel. The facilities were excellent. The communal areas had lovely artwork, sculptures and decoration. The restaurant was excellent too. We loved the local and how easy it was to walk into Chester - so we didn’t need to get in the car quite so often, which made the holiday more relaxing. The rooftop car parking was easily accessible from the hotel too. The room was comfortably big enough for 4 people and we liked the large 55inch TV. Our only note - in our room - 307 - some of the wallpaper was peeling and the paint was a bit tired."

"It was an average larger hotel but we felt a bit disappointed by our stay, unlikely to return. The room was next to a dual carriage way and noisy with the cars/smelt of petrol fumes, when requesting a change of room we didn’t get much response. The place was generally a bit run down. The breakfast was ok but limited to traditional cereals and an average cooked breakfast- little choice for vegetarians, continentals or those who wish for more healthy options. "

"Air conditioning was great. Located perfect for shops restaurants and close to river for nice walks. "
