We have just returned home from our third trip to the Castleton in 12 months. It is a wonderful place to recharge batteries and enjoy clear, fresh air and good food. Last November I wrote that it was a home-from-home. Thankfully nothing has changed apart from the fact that we now feel like surrogate family! Thanks Julian and Maggie for... more

Being in the trade its hard going away and switching off, the Castleton is the best answer! Staying for two nights myself and partner arrived early, wanting a nice chilled out couple of days, we got more. Nothing to much for Julian and Maggie from the room to breakfast it was everything and more you could want. Great location for... more

We really enjoyed our trip to Swanage last week. We were very lucky with the weather but incredibly lucky with this hotel. Maggie and Julian were excellent hosts. Couldn't fault it. Trip advisor reviews of this hotel were instrumental in our booking so we thought we would continue with the good news for future guests. Ideally situated for beach and... more

We chose to spend our week's vacation after a business trip in Barcelona, here in Purbeck County, at the Castleton Inn. The inn was welcoming and comfortable in every way. Julian and Maggie went above and beyond to accomdiate our needs. A true expression of service. Swanage is a vision held in time. A place where generations of Brits have... more

We stayed at The Castleton with eight friends over an October weekend. From the welcome onwards we could not fault the service we received. Our recently refurbished room was spacious with some nice touches, such as a small fridge and bottled water. The shower room was clean and bright with a nice selection of toiletries. All aspects of breakfast were... more

Stayed at the Castleton at the end of August after our wedding and everything about it, from the cleanliness to the service and friendliness was fantastic. The hotel is unbeatable in Swanage - it is literally the best. I couldn't recommend the hotel more highly and I will certainly be staying again - if I can get in! more

We stayed at the Castleton for two nights at the beginning of July 2009. We were welcomed by Maggie, who showed to us to our family suite -- a double room for us parents, with a twin bedroom connected by a short corridor. Everything was clean, including the bathroom, which had a very decent "power shower." There was a TV/DVD... more

Having the opportunity of only one night away we wanted to make sure that we found a hotel that was not going to disappoint and we were delighted to find The Castleton in Swanage. Right from the moment we stepped through the door we knew that we were in for a very comfortable stay. We had a lovely room and... more

The Castleton is more than a quintessential English b & b hotel just as Swanage is more than just a quintessential English seaside resort. Like me generations of families return to this jewel of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England and treasure a hotel like The Castleton with its warm and friendly mine hosts and efficient staff. I was returning... more

Julian & Maggie are welcoming yet unobtrusive hosts and are supported by efficient staff. Our room was fine as was the bathroom in spite of having a slightly eccentric shower! Breakfast was good - a better selection of cold items than most places together with the usual "full English" plus some variations. There is a good size residents lounge. Julian... more
