THE Castle Hotel, in St Peter's Square, Ruthin has been awarded a platinum rating by inspectors in the Loo of the Year Awards 2021.

The awards are aimed at highlighting and improving standards of 'away from home' toilet provision across the UK.

Loo of the Year Awards inspectors made unannounced visits to thousands of toilets at sites across the UK, in order to judge them.

All of the toilets are graded silver, gold, platinum or diamond, with unacceptable toilets not graded at all.

The Castle Hotel, a Wetherspoon pub, is managed by Ian Hughes.

Managing director of the Loo of the Year Awards 2021 Becky Wall said: "The toilets at the Castle Hotel have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.

"The pub deserves its platinum award."
