Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Castle Hotel offers spacious rooms, including family rooms and attic rooms, which many guests appreciate, and some are even dog-friendly. The continental breakfast is consistently praised for its wide selection of fresh produce available in a help-yourself fridge located in the restaurant area. there's a handy microwave and fridge in the breakfast area, useful for preparing meals. While some visitors have noted the hotel's age and some maintenance issues, the convenience of having a fish and chip shop right next door is a plus for many.

I was happy they let me bring my bicycle inside. breakfast was basic but it worked for a quick getaway. They allowed me to take a packed lunch for my bike ride. the restaurant is a fish and chip bar, so options were a bit limited, but it was fine since there were few other eating places around. the staff were very friendly.
the tv signal DIDN'T work and wifi was very patchy.

lush continental breakfastwelsh brewripped duvetmould in bathroom
The breakfast had lots of choice. I loved the 'welsh brew' tea bags.
My room was not in good shape. The duvet had stains and rips, and there was mould in the bathroom. towels were missing when i arrived late, and no staff helped since there was no one around even in the morning.
