Ruthin Castle
Truly Individual... Truly Magical... An Extraordinary Romantic & Historic Hotel
Ruthin Castle (the "Red Fort"), which originally dates from before 1277 and dominates the historic Welsh countryside market town of Ruthin, close to Chester, Denbigh, Llangollen and within easy reach of the North Wales Coast, Snowdonia and picturesque Betws-y-Coed. The castle previously formed part of the Crown Estate until sold by Charles I in 1632 and sits in its ancient walled dry moat within acres of private landscaped gardens, parkland and woods alongside the River Clwyd.
The award-winning Bertie's Dining Room offers creatively designed food in a setting that suits everything from romance to small business meetings or celebration dinner parties.
The perfect romantic setting to give your Princess or Prince a fairytale castle break. The magical reddish-pink stone walls of Ruthin Castle have provided the intimacy for Royalty and High Society of the past to enjoy dangerous romantic affairs and for romantic intrigue that once caused sensation and scandal in the Government...
For long and short holiday leisure breaks, Ruthin Castle is a very special place to stay and is the ideal base from which to explore the beautiful North Wales countryside, coast, towns and villages, and the historic walled City of Chester with its shopping, sightseeing and restaurants. Pamper yourself with fine dining, massages, aromatherapy and beauty treatments or exercise in the gym, play golf on the associated Ruthin-Pwllglas course, enjoy private fishing in our river, or play snooker on the table presented to the Castle by the Prince of Wales in 1875.
