Castle and Grounds
Pros:
"Great castle with amazing views."
"A wonderful place to visit with stunning scenery and lots of places to explore."
"The castle is very spectacular - it's massive and really interesting to walk around. The views around the area are fantastic."
"This is such a beautiful castle with miles of amazing views of the beach, countryside and Irish sea."
"Absolutely beautiful castle, amazing staff especially the people telling you where to park."
"The views from the castle over Abergele and the coastline are magnificent."
"What a beautiful place to visit, with natural beauty and excellent views."
Cons:
"If you are looking for a castle that is still intact this probably isn't the one for you."
"Castle itself neglected with almost nonexistent roof and flooring."
"Most of the castle is not accessible."
"Sadly it's more of a ruin, only few rooms to get inside, as castle still is undergoing a reconstruction project."
"The castle itself is ruins nowadays, and I missed the information plates around."
"Not all areas are accessible if you have mobility problems, some steps are quite big and steep or uneven."
"If you are in a wheelchair or not able to climb stairs then you will only see the higher points of the castle."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Very affordable to boot."
"Well worth the £15 entrance fee for a family of 4."
"£5 pounds entry fee is a bargain to spend a day enjoying location."
"Easily worth the £5 entry, I’d have happily paid double that."
"Free parking and reasonable admission."
"The £5pp is a fair price for entry."
"Entry prices were very reasonable."
Cons:
"Interesting place, quite expensive and not too much to see."
"The prices in the gift shop are a bit high, but reasonable if you're willing to splurge."
"Quite expensive for the amount of time you are there."
"Was really good for the kids but I will warn you that it is quite expensive for parking an entrance fee but your kids will love it."
"Price has doubled in 6 months it's now £10 an adult and £5 a child up from £5 an adult and £2.5 a child."
"Only downside, food at the Halloween event was a bit pricey, sales seemed slow so maybe reviewing prices would have made them more money."
"Be aware when the postie elf gets you to the top of the hill and tells the kids to get a hot chocolate, they are expensive and no prices are advertised so you have no idea what you are spending."
Staff and Volunteers
Pros:
"Great place, so much work, love & attention to detail has been taken by the gang of volunteers."
"The volunteers who show you around the building are brilliant and very knowledgeable about the history of the building."
"The staff were very informative and cheerful."
"All staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, from carpark attendant and admissions, to guides and restoration workers."
"Staff and volunteers are very friendly and knowledgeable."
"The members of staff we spoke with were extremely knowledgeable of the history of the ‘castellated mansion’."
"The staff were fantastic and great with children and adults alike."
Cons:
"Other than them I could not see member of staffs to ask my questions."
"Never have I encountered such belligerent and hostile staff at any establishment."
"This young man caused hurt to my partner and myself."
"We were chased down by staff and told we needed to leave immediately as our car was taking up spots for paying customers."
"Poor advertisement of opening hours and incredibly rude staff."
