Maggie & Julian made you feel very welcome. Always interested in what you had planned, gave great advice re local restaurants and bars/pubs, things to do. The breakfasts' were really 1st class, nothing too much trouble. The rooms were very clean, modern, excellent fittings. We stayed 2 nights on the 1st floor, Room 3.. one of their best, they said...

In that time Julian and Maggie have won several awards and quite rightly too. We've had rooms 1 and 2 and each are decorated to very... More

Julian and Maggie were attentive hosts without being overly so... and answered all queries readily. The room (3) was very comfortable with a soft bed . There is no sea view but you are only two minutes walk from the sandy beach. Visiting in Feb gave us the feeling of being priviledged to have the seafront almost to ourselves apart... More

At the end of October, this year, we returned with some relatives and we were all most impressed with what they had achieved. The whole place is beautifully decorated and... More

Near to the beach and a stroll away from town The Castletown is a very clean,warm and well decorated place and our room was nicer than some more expensive hotels I've stayed in. However what really marked The Castleton out was... More
