Second stay, just as enjoyable as the first. Staff are friendly, rooms are a good size though it can be a bit of a walk from reception and a little maze like. Nice location although the building itself is showing signs of its age. Spa downstairs is well equipped and there are lots of peacocks wandering around the grounds. Area is very nice, close to Snowdon, not too far from Chester or the coast.

Staff lovely, friendly and helpful. Food very nice as was the service. DSpa good value for money and restful, the outside hot tubs in the snow great fun. Room clean and tidy, decor a little tired but then again it is an 800+ year old building! did not at all detract from our stay

We had a lovely welcome at reception, and we had booked a Spa afternoon before our check in . The welcome was not as forthcoming at the Spa , and it seemed a little disorganised. Be aware that if the hot tub is cancelled due to the weather , you will not get a refund, apparently it’s in the T’s & C’s . The room was lovely if a little tired as some other areas were as well , granted it’s an old building , but the maintenance was a little lacking . The service and welcome at the restaurant was very good for evening meals and breakfasts . A couple of criticisms , the wine glasses could nicer , not ordinary glasses , especially as your spending £60 on a bottle of wine . The other was at breakfast, the plates were in a cabinet , which initially I thought was for heating the plates . This wasn’t the case , the plates were freezing and your breakfast was soon cold .

Amazing ancient monument in a great location. Superb place to stay. Lovely staff and great service. Standard room was a little tired, but ok. Breakfast was superb. Dinner menu is not very imaginative, bar and wine is expensive. Worth checking out other nearby options for food and drink.
