We stayed here for Bank Holiday weekend at the start of May. We had a suite, which was great for my wife and I and our two kids, and also good value. The decor was perhaps slightly dated, but the bathroom was excellent/ room sizes good and the view over the countryside and lake superb. The other big draw of... More

We got married here last year and had a wonderful wedding. We stayed again last night to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The bar staff in the Ramblers bar could not have been nicer and friendlier. We had a complimentary meal and the food could not have been nicer, beautiful fresh crab starter and one of the best steaks we... More

This hotel has been extended in all directions and is on several levels which will be challenging if you struggle with steps. The layout is odd and confusing not least the location and style of the reception area which is hidden at the back of the hotel - unless you ignore obvious entrances which face the road and follow the...

We have spent three nights in this hotel. We found all the staff very helpful and friendly, they went out of their way to help us. Our standard room had been recently refurbished and was very clean and comfortable.. The bathroom was very modern and an adequate size. There was plenty of hot water and toiletries. We ate in the...

We have just returned from our 5th visit to the Castle Inn over the last 3 or 4 years . After every other visit I would have given the hotel 5 stars without question but this time it has to be a little less im afraid. We paid 240 quid for a standard room for 2 nights and then paid... More

This was our second stay at the Castle Inn. The room we were finally allocated was disappointing considering that we had booked two months in advance on the 18th of February and had paid the supplement for a guaranteed superior room - it was our Ruby wedding anniversary, and did not wish to end up in a basic room for...

Went for a mini dancing holiday break with 30 freinds to the Castle Inn hotel, booked in for B & B and evening meal inclusive. We found the hotel very clean with excellent service throughout. The only down side was that the meals menu was very limited for the price and coffee was an extra. The quality of the food... More

Dear Guest Thank you for your recent review and kind words. I am disappointed to read that you were not happy with the menu during your stay. We do consult with the organiser of the group to decide the daily changing menu and all guests then have a choice of three starters, three main courses and three desserts. We welcome... More

Friends wanted to treat us to Sunday lunch, this was a late decision and we experienced the worst of the recent Spring weather, A Blizzard! However the welcome was warm and friendly and the weather was soon forgotten with an excellent beef roast. Three choices for main course and excellent value for money.

Stayed for 2 nights in march 2013. Our whole stay was very pleasant, with excellent service right from reception to leisure centre. The jacuzzi didn't work and the room (whilst perfectly functional) could have benefited from a little smartening up, but neither of these points spoilt our trip. The hotel owner seems keen to keep the hotel to a high... More
