Reviews and Ratings
I felt like royalty staying at this charming castle hotel! The rooms were incredibly luxurious with stunning views of the countryside, and the breakfast was simply excellent. The service was top-notch with attentive housekeeping and a lovely welcome drink upon arrival. The location, nestled in the castle itself, made me feel like a true noble, and the dining experience, especially the salmon dish, was divine. The facilities were modern and inviting, adding to the overall wonderful experience.
The hotel offers a delightful combination of historical charm and modern comforts. The four-poster bed with period furniture adds a touch of luxury to the rooms, complemented by beautiful views of the countryside. While the service was impeccable, the dining experience could have been improved. A gem in the Wrexham area of North Wales for a relaxing stay.
The hotel offers a charming blend of period furniture with a modern touch, featuring a delightful surprise of a four-poster bed in rooms with beautiful countryside views. The service, though top-notch overall, shines with attentive housekeeping and a welcoming drink. The location is perfect, whether strolling to the castle from the church or enjoying the lovely area with nice views, it's always convenient with all necessities at hand. The dining experience, highlighted by organic pulled pork, is a culinary delight. The facilities are well-equipped for a comfortable stay.
