Over the past two decades of visiting Ocracoke, we have, and will, only stay here! We absolutely love our visits to the Castle! We prefer the charm of B&B's when traveling to relax and the Castle is one of our FAVORITES!! Lovely historic Inn, but updated with all the conveniences. The location is right across the street from Silver Lake,... More

When making the reservation for the “Lighthouse Suite,” we considered it a splurge but when we arrived, it was really an excellent value. The extent of the space exceeded our expectations based on website photos. Because our primary objective for the trip was relaxation, reading, sipping some wine and hibernating in case of inclement weather, the sitting room complete with... More

You summed up exactly what we feel about our "castle" and what we hope all our guests feel. We love this place and our special island as well. Thank you for your wonderful review and please come back often. And as for breakfast and Miss Gladys...you are so right...her food is just delicious and we consider her a gem. More

We recently stayed at this B&B. What a treat. It is on the harbor (lake) and has a wonderful deck across the street from the inn, just above a fishing shack, with Adirondack chairs for watching the boats, the sky and catching some sunshine. This is an old-fashioned kind of place. It is casual, sort of New England-style-- not fancy... More

We rented The Castle for our wedding and my husband and I stayed the week in The Net House, one of their villas. It was the most beautiful wedding location! Many of our guests stayed in the B&B and had a great experience, the staff was very friendly and accommodating and the breakfast was very good too! More

You should sersiously consider staying at the Castle if you're spending time on Ocracoke. It's location is awesome - just close enough to everything but without being on the main drag. The people were truly incredible! Misty gave us a tour of the house and grounds on the way to our room and thoroughly explained how things worked. We didn't... More

Very nice large clean room with small kitchen area. Great location for walking around the harbor. Pool was great in the very warm weather. A secret area that no one else seemed to use the the deck on the water, great for enjoying the view of the water and drinking a beer. They also provide free bikes. More

We absolutely loved this place. Every morning around 630 am you could smell the eggs, bacon, pancakes and any other wonderful breakfast food you enjoy all prepared by Ms. Gladys! Everyone was friendly; the rooms were comfortable much like a home space. The bikes are included with your stay, which is awesome because we parked the car and rode bikes... More

I saw a picture online of a lovely studio villa at the Castle that was just what I wanted with lots of space, an extra bed, a sofa, table and chair, w-ifi, and kitchen facilities.The price was higher than most for Ocracoke, but I liked it, so I called and rented it for 10 days last summer intending to rest...

We were a little shocked to read this review and immediately contacted the innkeeper at the Castle Bed and Breakfast and the manager for The Castle Villas. After some investigations we were somewhat puzzled because: We could not find any reservation where someone stayed more than seven nights in a studio bedroom suite at the villas. Ever. There are no... More

Our first trip to Ocracoke and we decided on the Castle Bed and Breakfast for 2 nights. This was a perfect choice for us. They have a room called the Harbor Room which has a queen and 2 twin beds, dressing area, and large bathroom with double sinks. With two daughters ages 11 and 14, the room couldn't have been... More
