My mother and I arrived late. The heater and a lamp was turned on for our arrival.. The room was as warm as toast..the owner was there to meet us and take our luggage to our rooms. Helpful friendly staff. Couldn't do enough for us. Old property but adds to the charm. Food great. More

The food was excellent, far too much for us to finish and the quality of it was second to none. The carvery which we had on Sunday was phenomenol and... More

On arrival the hotel looks a bit on the old and dowdy side. But you know the old saying "Don't judge a book by its cover". You will be greeted by very friendly staff or the owner. I believe the hotel has changed hands recently and the owber is making inprovements including fitting new double glazing. The rooms are big... More

Had a meal in the bar which was excellent. Can also recommend the Orkney ale. Room & shower were clean & comfortable if a bit tired. Breakfast was very good too. The only real downside was that despite the nice desk space for a laptop, the wifi didn't work in the room - only in the reception & bar areas. More

Stayed at the hotel for one night before heading to Orkney and it was sufficient for that. The room was very tired looking, and in need of a complete makover, Staff were helpfull, food was a decent pub standard. Reasonable value though. More

Old fashioned hotel in a very quite road at the end of the country. The receptionist/manager was very friendly and helpful. Dinner was excellent and service was very quick. The experience was somewhat marred by having to eat it in the bar while other bar users who’s language was less than charming. The rooms were very old fashioned and the... More

We stayed at the Castletown Hotel for two nights at the start of a big bike ride. Everyone was very welcoming, we were able to put our bikes under cover, the room was fine. Good breakfast choices from a buffet (and it had the best selection of fresh fruit we found in our travels!). Convenient base for touring. Good value. More
