Very interesting with a lot to see - Could look at a lot aspects of prison life and gave a good sense of what a miserable experience being a prisoner is. Cafe had good cakes.

Fun and friendly cafe in the little place called corwen - Amazing experience learning about all the different history there. Seeing all the cells and the food is to die for grate vale. Will be going there again. Such an amazing place to visit.

First time in prison - We had an excellent first time in prison. It was a great experience and glad to be able to come out at the end of the visit. Would reccomend it and you can even get lunch there. Would certainly go again.

Well worth a visit! - Well worth a visit - a fascinating tour of this chilling prison. Staff were so welcoming, friendly and informative. Lovely little restaurant too and again friendly staff

Half a day in Prison - This was a very interesting visit and a view into prison life. There was plenty to read and it was easy reading. Occaisonal subtle humour as well. Some very good history about the gaol and former inmates.

Going “inside” for the first time - We weren’t sure what to expect, but thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Only negative was we had trouble finding the door to get in. Other people outside told us they had struggled to find the entrance door too. We did not do a guided tour, as we wanted to just take the time we needed to digest the information and aura of the place. Enjoyed exploring all the nooks and crannies. It gave us a good idea of what the prison must have been like. We felt a bit like we were on the film set of the old TV show Porridge. I couldn’t go to the top floor due to my vertigo (my partner did) but saw everything else. The cafe did a nice coffee and cake, and there were plenty of toilets about. So glad we did this. We saw some people in the town that were disappointed that the castle was shut on Thursdays. After we spoke to them they decided to go to the prison instead. Only thing that could have enhanced the visit more would have been a few more detailed room sets. However it was excellent value for money, and we would recommend a visit to anyone hesitating over the decision.

Absolutely fantastic day out with the kids. - I took my five young children and they absolutely loved it! The only down fall we had was the cafe…..we waited nearly 30 minutes (me standing at the till) and wasn’t even acknowledged 🙁 so we got up and left….quite stressful with five young children all hungry and inpatient. Apart from this the actual prison tour was amazing, the kids loved it and I would definitely do again!

Prison visit - insightful experience! - A great experience to get first hand experience of a prison, with some history and educational information. We wandered round on a self guided tour, but I think you get better insight on one of the guided tours.

Self Guided Tour - The staff were very welcoming and we were supplied with a map and where to start. It is simple map however some signs of where you go next on walls would help. It may be down to my map reading skills but had trouble to get out.Having said that it is a prison. Information in each section excellent Enjoyed the visit even with a large school visit present at the same time. . Maybe it would of been better with a guided.

Pretty good, but you get moved along for 'Guided tours' which ruins the whole experience - It was good, however several things ruined it for us..... Firstly, it isn't obvious which way you go to get into the prison as we ended up around the side and back of the building as did a few other couples because no one put the barrier across to prevent this from happening. We then got rescued as we had no idea where we were, but the girl came across as a little rude? Secondly, and worst of all, there is a guy there that is dressed as a security guard doing the guided tours. He kept moving us on as the 'guided tour' was coming. Well, excuse me, we had paid just like everyone else. This happened a couple of times and we felt rushed all the way through. The guided tours seem to take priority over the self guided tours. The saving grace was the cakes in the restaurant at the end. They were absolutely delicious! Sadly won't recommend to anyone due to us being moved along several times. We were that disappointed that we were going to ask for our money back, but didn't bother in the end
