"Amazing huge room with wonderful views, really comfy bed, clean bright modern bathroom. Extremely lovely stay at The Castle overall. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the parking is right outside, and breakfast was chilled and relaxed with plenty of eating options. Can't wait to stay again!"

"Very clean, quiet, comfortable room with a new bathroom. Breakfast was delicious, plus there was coffee in the room. We also ate in the restaurant and enjoyed some drinks at the pub. This is a great place to stay. I’ll be back!"

"Friendly Staff and great room"

"The room was lovely and quirky old fashioned with original features. Bathroom nice and clean staff were so polite and helpful. Only issue was tv was set with a reminder to change channel spoke to staff they thought it was rectified but happened for second night not an issue as stay was relaxing and enjoyable. "

"The room was spotless and a lot of thought in the details. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. We were the only guests for dinner but didn't feel awkward as the staff including the chef were chatting with us. The place was full of character whilst giving attention to comfort. We absolutely loved it."

"Good parking. Excellent room. Lovely meal"
