all reviews » Great location, amazing views from the room. The bars have roaring fires with plenty of choice including real ales. Very enjoyable stay in a comfortable, clean room with lovely decor and more than enough tea/coffee/hot chocolate provided. There was also a traditional stopper bottle of filtered water which I thought was a very nice touch. We found the staff very helpful and friendly, food menu/breakfast excellent and nicely presented. Would definitely recommend the Castle and hopefully will. Everything really. The staff are friendly, service is great, food is very good, rooms are modern but practical and there are all sorts of nice little touches that show that thought has gone into providing a welcoming, comfortable stay, e.g. daily weather forecast, lots of leaflets and maps, recommended walks and suggested places to visit. And they welcome dogs. It was very good. Staff all made you welcome but not fussing. Food was excellent and always on hot plates. Great breakfast with cheerful servers. Lots of detail in hotel, maps to borrow, anything you needed for room just ask. Rooms were 4* well done to management and team. This is a thoroughly excellent hotel overall which I would have no hesitation in recommending. We particularly liked the way our little Boston Terrier Abigail was made so welcome. The gardens at the back of the hotel are lovely. Food, beer and service were all excellent. The castle hotel is in the centre of the small town, it is very well decorated, comfy, clean and good value. The shower was amazing. I ate in the pub in the evening and the food was fantastic and the bar area dog friendly as well as the hotel. Would def stay here again. The hotel and surroundings were very good, and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff which made it a very enjoyable holiday for us. Each morning a news sheet gave items of interest in the area, and a walk -very thoughtful and appreciated. Quaint quiet town but accessible to larger more bustling towns. Beautiful countryside and great choice of walks straight from hotel. Hotel had a lot of leaflets giving ideas for daytime activities. Breakfasts and evening meal set you up for the day. Staff very helpful, I had forgotten to warn them of my daughter's severe food intolerance but they were very helpful and the chef whipped up special dressings. The second night they were ahead of the game with a list of dishes she could eat. This hotel is perfect, we had a huge room which was beautifully decorated. The owners Henry and Rebecca were so helpful. There is a lovely garden with views, the food was superb, and the situation in the town is ideal with lovely views. ,od accommodation and service at the castle hotel is always off high order and represents very good value for money, my mother and I have eaten there fairly frequently over the last 18 months and it really is very good keep it up.

Staff welcome Bedroom facilities Food Discounted price. The room was spacious, clean, and well appointed. Location and great service from the hotel staff. The town clock was charming during the day but at night we had to close our bedroom windows which we would have preferred not to. Ear plugs would have solved the problem but not an option for one of us. Sorry, can't think of anything - except that they ran out of venison pie one night!. Evening meals are a bit on the pricey side. Plumbing in the shower was a little troublesome at times, but work was in hand to rectify this. Arriving up a very steep hill! Only did this once as we found other routes with less fearful gradients. Room had a very low slope on the ceiling - difficult for tall people!. There is nothing that we did not like. Nothing. Mum couldn't get the subtitles on the TV!. The stairs are many but what can one do in an old building. nothink. Leaving wanted to stay longer. Nowhere to go apart from you room to sit and read a book or paper. As the weather was very cold we had to read in our room. Not sure if it is 4 star status I would say more 3. No problems apparent. Not much. Nothing. The carpet in our room was quite old and could do with a deep cleaning. No free range eggs! I am a vegetarian and will not eat eggs from caged hens. This really suprised me!. Nothing all positive. Nothing to dislike. low ceiling in rooms. Although very useful and nice, the new, plastic blinds were difficult to close. The weather but that is out of anyone's control. Smell of dogs in corridors in the morning. Just needed airing. Bar & restaurant prices were high. Shower was not hot enough. The shower did not work well at all, very low water pressure and either too hot or too cold (room 8). regretted not staying longing and eating in the hotel. At 83 the stairs to room 12. On a Sunday evening I would expect a few tables in the bar not to be laid up for food. The only area do drinking was a sofa at the end of the bar. Had an issue all weekend with no hot water to the hand basin in room 9 but it was not a major problem to us. Was given a discount off the bill when checking out.
