But unfortunately in my opinion not as good for people. Staff very friendly and keen, bar wonderfully kept and good drinks. Menu unimaginative, we opted for scampi as it seemed a safe option but it wasn't wonderful. Breakfast very generous, but far too much of it was deep fried for my liking and it was very heavy.

I can't recommend this highly enough; beautiful location, amazing friendly staff, food to die for, dogs adored and spoilt, comfort, clean and cosy. An incredible welcome where nothing is too much trouble. Truly perfect, come away feeling the way you do after a two week hol abroad! Could not recommend it enough!

We have just returned from 2 days at this hotel, and were really pleased with everything on offer, as, although we had not taken our current dog away before, we had stayed in a hotel with our previous Spaniel.

There are no restrictions as to where the dogs are allowed so you can take them down stairs to breakfast with you and they are... More

So you have a couple of humans and hate it when you can't take them with you on short breaks. Well now you can, take them to ''The Castle Inn''. There's a warm welcome for them on arrival, a comfortable human kennel with all amenities, great food and so my packleader says great beers and ciders. My human found it... More
