Castle Lodge, I was in room 1. it was a nice hotel. I recommend it to stay there. The people the owners was very nice and made me feel welcome. I would stay there again. The breakfast was okay and offered me a pack lunch to take with me because I had a long way to go. I would recommend four stars.⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Shocking

I cannot believe this hotel is rated as good. Filthy carpets on way to rooms, halway covered in dirt, cobwebs in the room, dust on all the furniture, bed was as soft as marshmallow, no soap in toilet, just terrible. In fact it was that bad we didn't even stay, we just handed back the keys and walked out despite losing our payment.

Very poor value.

Room given not as picture on-line. Non atmospheric, soulless venue. Poor menu selection for an alleged hotel. More a pub with bedrooms. Paid £125, very disappointed.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room seemed to be mid-renovation, with some things looking new and others in need of replacing or upgrading. We booked and arrived very late so were grateful they could accommodate that. Maybe the room had only been partially cleaned from the previous stay due to the late notice? The bed was clean and well-made, but there was rubbish in the drawers and it hadn't been hoovered. Toilet didn't look clean either. The next day I asked if someone could hoover and they did, but not very well and with either an old hoover or one that needed emptying (it left behind that musky smell that old hoovers have). There was plenty of space to hang and store clothes and a small tea & coffee station, but only one mug and one spoon for a double room. Very limited supply of toiletries, though we take our own everywhere so not a massive issue for us. It was day 3 before we got a top-up of toilet roll so we'd been replenishing it ourselves. The (cream) carpet was heavily stained and really needs replacing. We could see other rooms had new-looking grey carpet, which added to the feeling of it being mid-renovation. There was a squashed spider on the bathroom ceiling and lots of cobwebs. It was okay as a low-budget option. Could be a lovely place to stay with more attention to detail.

The staff were nice enough on arrival, showed us to our room and we left for wedding. We didn't come back until midnight and the smell of musty damp was present. The kitchenette units were full of crumbs, there were cobwebs and spiders above the one single bed which we had to get rid of before sleeping. The sink in the one bathroom fills water and takes a while to go down. We returned the keys this morning and no mention of breakfast (which i later seen was meant to be included) Was ok, in need of a good revamp.

Ok for one night stayed in a lot worse

Arrived to be told someone was given my room by mistake waited 10-15 mins not sure what was going on but give a room size that I had paid for so not sure if someone was moved or the room wasn’t ready so they quickly cleaned it. Staff were friendly enough but the place is dated some attempt at updating with new carpets and paint there was mould in the corner of the bathroom and bed wasn’t bed comfortable it’s a bit 6 out of 10 for effort. Breakfast was Continental not stated on the booking annoyingly as I had a long day at work ahead. There was funny smell like stale smoke in the room or something like that you got used to it but it was there

The lady who checked us in appeared to not know what she was doing. When we called to say we wanted to check out we mentioned the issues we had with the room and were told by someone else we had been put in the wrong room. No 9ne gave us their names. Didnt see anyone else for the majority of our stay

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Basic but good value for money. Parking good. No staff on site at check-in, had to phone a mobile and get own keys/room allocation from a diary on the bar. Steep stairs, difficult for those with mobility issues as no staff available to assist. Bar unstaffed at the time (helped by a local customer who does casual work in the bar), and minimal choice of wines. Restaurant present (green plastic tablecloths), but only available food was by take away from next door fish&chip shop (annexed to the hotel) with usual fish&chip shop menu. Room adequate though compact. Washbasin very small, very difficult to fill the kettle. Nice shower. Room clean, but not serviced between day1&2. Second day, restaurant as before, went to local pub. On return, bar had closed at 8pm. Continental breakfast only (self service) but OK.
