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!

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.

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

Excellent food and good value

Check in was easy, bedrooms a good size and very comfortable beds. Heated towel rail & extractor not working. Tea & coffee facilities and a room safe. Cleaning staff could be a little more attentive during the stay. Food is very good quality and very well cooked, delightful dining room staff, thanks to Rory, Alex & Beth. Will return in the future to this ancient castle complete with peacocks!
