Отель «Ruthin Castle Classic Hotel»

For guests looking for a true Castle experience, Ruthin Castle Hotel in North Wales was once at the centre of the ferociously stormy mediaeval history between England and Wales. Dating back to before 1277, Ruthin Castle Hotel in North Wales dominates the historic Welsh countryside market town of Ruthin, within easy reach of the North Wales Coast, Snowdonia and picturesque Betws-y-Coed. Previously part of the Crown Estate, Ruthin Castle Hotel in North Wales offers a true mediaeval experience along with 4 and 5 star accommodation. Ruthin Castle Hotel in North Wales (the red fort) sits by the River Clwyd in its ancient walled dry moat within acres of private landscaped gardens, parkland and woods. Ruthin Castle Hotel, or Castell Rhuthun as it is otherwise known, is an extraordinary castle hotel in Wales and should not be confused with The Castle, a small hotel in the centre of town. You know when you have reached Ruthin Castle Hotel as you drive through the unmistakeable archway with its great oak gates at the top of Castle Road and up the winding drive through the beautifully manicured gardens. The pink marble monumental lions sit proudly on their plinths at the entrance and the red carpet welcomes you into the warmly lit, wood panelled entrance hall of the Ruthin Castle. Despite its high ceilings and original grandeur, beautifully carved stone and wood ornamental fireplaces with open fires create a warm and cosy atmosphere throughout the public rooms. Original oil paintings of past royalty and former residents of the castle line the halls, each with their own story to tell of dangerous romantic affairs and intrigue that once caused sensation and scandal in the Government. Dine like a King or Queen in Berties Dining Room, a grand room with stunning Austrian chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and large bay windows overlooking the garden terrace. For those guests looking for a truly authentic mediaeval experience, Ruthin Castle Hotel hosts regular Mediaeval Banquets. Today the ancient dungeon still survives together with the whipping pit and drowning pool and it is against this background of chivalry and valour that Ruthin Castle Hotel became the first castle hotel in Britain to start hosting themed mediaeval banquets more than 30 years ago. Fully costumed Ladies of the Court and the Court Steward lead guests into the Banquet Hall of Ruthin Castle where they entertain, sing, jest and lead the evening's feasting with dagger and fingers accompanied by mead from clay cups and wine in pewter goblets. Guests can also wear mediaeval costume if they choose. Ruthin Castle offers excellent conference facilities for up to 150 delegates in the dedicated conference suite. A variety of team building events can also be organised within the Castle grounds.
