RUTHIN
CASTLE HOTEL
Medieval Legends and Moat Spa
Set
in a parkland of oak woods Ruthin Castle is a truly romantic hotel,
steeped in history.
The original castle dates back Edward I “Longshanks”, built
in 1282 for the English control of Wales, with connections to the legends
of both King Arthur and Robin Hood. The medieval castle was built on
the site of an earlier dark ages fort connected to Arthurian lore and
a previous owner was the actual historical Sheriff of Nottingham. Throughout
its existence Ruthin Castle has been owned and visited by some of history’s
most iconic figures including Henry VIII, and Queen Elizabeth I, King
Edward VII, of “The King’s Speech” fame, as well as
the actress Lilly Langtree and Lady Randolph Churchill, when she was
married to one of the castle’s owners. As it stands now, the Ruthin
Castle of the hotel, with its red brick ivy covered walls and entrance
guarded by pink marble lions, was built in the mid-19th Century as a
castellated Victorian revival estate manor for the Myddleton family.
With fifty-nine four
star redesigned bedrooms, the castle turned comfortable manor house
offers a decadent and luxurious accommodation
where guests
can enjoy the only one of the medieval “Iron Ring” of castle
in Wales where it is possible to stay and sleep within the ancient
walls. Book a stay in one of the many rooms with antique furnishings,
four poster
beds and decorative fireplaces. Dine on award winning cuisine created
using only the freshest local produce at the AA 2 Rosette Bertie’s
Restaurant, and enjoy an evening of medieval themed banquet night events,
get to business in facilities of a secluded venue or book a dream wedding
within the ancient walls and picturesque grounds. Ruthin Castle is
a royal Welsh gem just waiting to be explored, just an hour from Cheshire
and perfect ideal base to explore the mountain woodlands and coast
of
Denbighshire and Snowdonia. Enjoy ‘Royal Romance’ getaways
for couples, or partake in the Moat Spa.
The Moat
The Moat Spa which offers an "indoor and outdoor spa experience" resides
in the rustic woodland grounds of the medieval moat, offering a playful
yet sophisticated mix of natural beauty and luxury. The Moat is designed
to challenge the concept of what has become the generic spa experience,
drawing on the majestic North Wales setting with a combination of toasty
dry outdoor sauna and invigorating hot tubs coupled with cool spring
water showers. Take a soothing Seaside Body Wrap, then swing in a romantic
cocoon seat in the refreshing summer breeze. In cooler months, snuggle
up with a blanket on an over-sized lounger by the cosy fire. © Bargain
