I stayed here for one night in June this year. Nice decor, rooms not too old, not too new. Warm with the sun and struggled to sleep at night, but I don't think that's the hotels fault. Food was nice, couldn't finish my burger as it was massive, chicken wings were a little dry. Shower was great, nice and modern.... More

Stayed here for a week. Room was very spacious and quite luxurious. Big shower which is a real treat. Facilities onsite are good. Nice pool, steam room and sauna. The level of service by all staff was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. The only thing which is not quite up to standard is the bar food and the... More

I stay in a lot of hotels and recently re-discovered the Castle for my trips to Cumbria. All of the team I've dealt with have been excellent - particularly Anna on reception. Nothing is too much trouble [e.g. arriving late and just missing the food service wasn't an issue - the front of house just spoke nicely to the chef... More

Fancied 'getting away from it all' for a night so stayed here for one night in a twin room over late May bank holiday. When we arrived at midday, our room wasn't ready - no problem there as we knew we probably wouldn't be able to check in until 2pm. We went and had a drink and a nice sandwich... More

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...

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
