A comfortable stay in a very pretty village

The Castle Inn Hotel is in a lovely quiet picturesque village. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Our room was small but clean and had an iron and ironing board in the wardrobe. There was one chair, a small table and two nightstands. The ensuite bathroom was clean with a good hot shower, but it took up the whole of what would have been quite a large bedroom window at that end of the room. There was one other small window in the bedroom area so the room was quite dark without the lights on. While it was great that the hotel is eco conscious, the problem with the bathroom light being movement reactive, meant that there was no way to switch it off before entering and closing the door, so my husband was woken up by a bright beam from the bathroom light in the middle of the night. Apart from that it was a pleasant stay and the restaurant was good except for the food being rather too salty for my taste.

Timing is everything

We have stayed here a couple of times in the past. They have just finished a refurb and were also filming an episode of "The Hotel Inspector" so there were some restrictions but as ever the staff were great and the welcome was warm. The food was as good as on previous visits. However it was a little noisy at times and a few distractions for the staff. We will visit again, I'm sure

Nice location, decor lets it down

Great location, nice building and friendly staff. Booked a standard room as only there for 1 night. I was in the annex The room was compact, but not too small and clean.. Furnishings are dated, but bed was comfortable. The bathroom, if you can call it that was the smallest have ever seen. The sink was absolutely tiny and trying to use the toilet was a challenge due to lack of space.Walls are paper thin, could even hear the next room phone vibrate and doors banging. Not great sleep as ski light above the pillow end of the bed which needs better blind on there. Crammed 4 rooms into a space that isn’t big enough. The dining room decor doesn’t fit the building, way too modern. was very warm at breakfast as was most of the hotel, seemed to have air con in the dining room, but not on. Breakfast was ok as complimentary, would be very disappointed if had paid. Also a very odd conversation with another table being advising only 2 poached eggs left, but fried/scrambled fine which left most of the room slightly confused, how is that possible. Could be so much better
