A historic, award-winning former royal residence in North Wales – includes breakfast and optional dinner
- Fit for a king: Dating back over 700 years, and with previous owners including Edward I, Henry VII and Elizabeth I, Ruthin Castle Hotel & Spa is a most unique residence. Set in acres of immaculate gardens and sprawling woodland, behind its ivy-clad façade, you'll find classic features and furnishings.
- Soul-soothing spa: Nestled in the rustic woodland of the ancient moat, the newly refurbished and re-opened Bazaar Spa offers a lovely chance to unwind after a day out and about. Pamper yourself with a treatment, or enjoy the health club's facilities before working up a sweat in the fitness room.
- When hunger strikes: Set within the building's historic banqueting hall, the Dragon Tavern serves gourmet, pan-European-influenced fare alongside refreshing beverages in a dramatic setting. You'll find outdoor seating here too, perfect for when you fancy a drink in good weather.
