The Castle Hotel

The manager was so kind and squeezed our family of four in for a quick lunch on Sunday without a reservation at 1pm before she needed the table back at 2pm. Beautiful restaurant and pub interior, fantastic food including a top quality children’s menu which was greatly appreciated by our ‘foodie’ kids. Stunning, extensive garden area out the back full of wildflowers and a fantastic castle play area complete with canon! Amazing views and just a wonderful place all round. Couldn’t fault it. We would love to come back one day.

First I had a wonderful experience on the phone booking a room- the 'Lady' was absolutely customer orientated! On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly face and voice (after having viewed efforts in presentation of flower display at the entrance- we were already smiling). Things never dipped- EVERYTHING about our one night stay has been EXCELLENT - "All the staff make the effort to provide with courtesy and professional attitude!" The room (Room 9) was and is absolutely SPOTLESS! CLEAN and inviting- perfect for us! The bed feels like a king couldnt complain! My wife has mentioned more than once that they have tried to cater for ALL possible needs with even a hairdryer left to use. I urge anyone to book here not merely for the staff or the beautiful Hospitality but for the location too: A town FULL of very courteous and friendly people that made this one day experience so wonderful and scenery with sounds of nature that I miss from my youth- I don't think even a five star rating is good enough. The owners must be proud of the efforts made- "CLEANING STAFF ARE TOP NOTCH PROFESSIONALS!" ALL THE STAFF AT THE CASTLE HOTEL ARE TOP NOTCH PROFESSIONALS!" I think price does matter and to get the value we have experienced means a lot- to get the service we have received and still be able to afford the souvenirs is delightful- THANK YOU to EVERYONE we have met at the Castle Hotel and in Bishops Castle. Congratulations for showing us that Real people still exist.

8 of us (adults, children and two dogs) went for dinner and we had a fabulous time. All the food was delicious, generous portions and came out fast. One of our group is celiac and she was very happy with what was on offer. Service was very good, attentive and friendly. The garden area is large with amazing views and if we lived in the area we'd definitely come back on a regular basis! An absolute gem!
