We have stayed at The Castle twice, both times for the 4th of July holiday. It has been a wonderful experience both times. more

My husband and I spent last April, shaking off the Northeast winter Blues. We had a wonderful and relaxing time at The Castle. Ronnie, as well as all of the staff, was friendly and very helpful. The southern breakfast was delicious, reminding my husband of his North Carolina roots. We're already planning to visit next April! Kathie & Kevin Matsil more

We stayed in the Patti room which was very nice, large and the bathroom was excellent. The room was quiet, the inn offered use of a computer (so I could still keep in contact with doing business) and the breakfast was really good. They area surrounding the Inn is Great, you can walk to the lighthouse and downtown to shops.... more

So glad you had a good time while at The Castle. That is what we love to hear. Ocracoke Island is a special place and we think The Castle is pretty special too. Thank you so much for your kind words and we would love to have you come back to our B & B.

We have stayed at The Castle 4 or 5 times over the last 5 years and each stay was special. Rather than use the B&B we rent one of the Castle Villas -condos- and generally stay for a week. The rooms are always immaculate and the staff friendly and helpful. The grounds and the B&B area are beautifully maintained. We... more

This was our 2nd stay at the Inn and we love it. It is an older home, with the older home charm. If you're looking for hotel luxury with room service, this is not for you. It's a B&B, not a 5 star hotel in NY. And as ANY B&B would do, breakfast is served in a "family style setting"... more

AnnaL, thank you very much for letting others know how much you enjoyed your stay. We want all of our guests to feel exactly as you describe--welcome and comfortable. Mary and the rest of the innkeepers love what they do and we think it shows. Please come back and stay at The Castle on Silver Lake again

PROS: Gorgeous grounds, great proximity to explore Ocracoke via car, bicycle, and foot (we did all three), excellent and ample breakfast (only for guests in the B&B, not in the Villas) snacks in the afternoon, bikes on-site, pool, steam shower and sauna. CONS: If you want any ounce of privacy, stay in any one of their Villas and not in... more

I recently visited Ocracoke for the first time for a wedding and fell in love with the Island! However we were less than impressed with our choice of accomodations. The Castle on Silver Lake is a beautiful home, and our room (Sam's Room) was very spacious. Our friends' room was literally half the size of ours and they had no... more

We stayed 4 nights at the Castle and just loved everything about the place. The room was great, breakfast was amazing, views are gorgeous, and the staff very welcoming! The Castle has these amazing decks and screened porches - comfortable swings and chairs to relax in- felt like your own private porch! There are fun amenities like the pool, sauna,... more

Reviewer: Patrick & Shirley, Bucks. UK Very disappointing. Not at all welcoming although we did get a suitcase carried upstairs. The room was comfortable with good views over the lake. The building is mostly wooden and could be attractive, but it is all a bit "utility" and has the feel of a hostel rather than a hotel but still at... more
