Negative Reviews

negative:

Stairs can be difficult to navigate.

Dating back several hundreds of years, The Castle Hotel is an aging building and, as such, features an aging staircase. Some guests report that the narrow and steep stairs can be difficult to navigate, something the mobility-impaired may wish to consider.

negative:

Some rooms on the cramped side.

Several guests have been disappointed by the size of their room. Reports seem to indicate that some of the hotel rooms are small and cramped, which may impact how comfortable your stay is.

negative:

Some noise complaints.

While many guests enjoy a pleasant, quiet stay, others are less lucky. The hotel is located on the High Street, which means late night noise sometimes filters through into guestrooms. Meanwhile, some guests report hearing noises from neighbouring rooms.
