Loved by guests
"Guests are permitted to access the Manor House, which was a treat as we sat in front of the open log fire."
"Dinner was amazing - bursting with flavour and of an extremely high standard."
"You can use the Manor House parking lot which is a big plus as the town is always crowded and no street parking."
The Castle Inn, Castle Combe - A Timeless Cotswolds Retreat
Dating back to the 12th century, The Castle Inn in Castle Combe offers a profound sense of history steeped in the very fabric of one of England's most picturesque villages. This establishment, a former retreat for Oliver Cromwell, has been thoughtfully updated with contemporary comforts, ensuring guests a unique experience of style and relaxation. It stands as a truly delightful example of a traditional English village, offering an escape where ancient charm meets refined hospitality.
Location
The Castle Inn is situated within Castle Combe, Wiltshire, a village so unspoilt it has been awarded "Prettiest Village in England" on multiple occasions and has served as a favoured backdrop for Hollywood films. Honey-coloured stone houses, softened by ivy, line the narrow main street, with the gentle ambling Bybrook river flowing through its heart. The magnificent building is just 12 miles from the historic city of Bath, offering a tranquil base from which to explore the surrounding Cotswold countryside. Limited parking is available in the village directly outside the pub.
Style and Character
With its open log fires, exposed beams, and characterful sloping walls, The Castle Inn exudes an authentic, historical charm. The contemporary facilities have been judiciously installed to complement the ancient architecture, ensuring utmost comfort without compromising the inn's intrinsic appeal. The atmosphere is one of quiet elegance, a stark contrast to its historical past as a place of retreat. The design successfully marries the old with the new, creating a space that feels both timeless and welcoming.
Service and Facilities
The Castle Inn prides itself on providing facilities that ideally complement the tranquillity of its ancient village setting. Guests are guaranteed rest and relaxation in style and comfort. The bar serves as the hub, offering an open fire and a warm atmosphere, with additional seating available in the snug, the conservatory, and the garden terrace for sunny days. In-room Wi-Fi ensures guests can stay connected. The hotel has been recognised with 2 AA Rosettes and a place among the Top 50 Gastropubs in the UK, attesting to its commitment to quality.
Rooms
The Castle Inn offers rooms full of character, each providing a unique experience. Standard rooms feature double beds, tea and coffee facilities, and an en-suite bathroom with bathrobes. Twin rooms are available upon request. The Superior rooms offer a super king-sized bed (which can be twinned), tea and coffee facilities, an en-suite bathroom with a shower only, and a small seating area. For a touch of romance, the double rooms also feature a grand four-poster bed. A single room option is also available, featuring heating, a private bathroom with a shower and hairdryer, a sitting area, and essential amenities.
Food and Drink
Dining at The Castle Inn is an experience in itself. The elegant dining room, known as 'Oliver's Restaurant' (a non-smoking area), offers the highest quality cuisine and fine wine in stylish, intimate surroundings. The menus are a sample, as dishes change regularly to ensure only the freshest and highest quality ingredients from local and national suppliers are used. Guests can also enjoy casual fare in the bar, snug, conservatory, or outside. The establishment holds 2 AA Rosettes and is listed as a Top 50 Gastropub in the UK, highlighting its commitment to excellent food and drink.
Value for Money
While specific pricing is not detailed, the inclusion of 2 AA Rosettes and a Top 50 Gastropub listing suggests a high standard of dining that commands a certain price point. The historical setting, the charm of the building, and the focus on fresh, quality ingredients indicate that The Castle Inn offers an experience that justifies the cost for those seeking a refined Cotswolds getaway. The blend of historic character and modern comfort provides a memorable stay.
Accessibility
Information regarding specific accessibility features, such as wheelchair access or adapted rooms, is not explicitly detailed in the provided text. However, the presence of a single room with basic amenities and the overall description of updated facilities suggest an effort towards guest comfort.
Family-Friendly
While Castle Combe is a village often sought after for its romantic and picturesque qualities, specific family-oriented facilities or services at The Castle Inn are not detailed. The focus appears to be on offering a tranquil and stylish retreat for guests seeking historical charm and quality dining.
“I think The Castle Inn, nestled in the heart of Castle Combe, effortlessly blends historical charm with modern culinary ambition. With its roaring log fires and unique rooms, the Inn offers a cozy retreat after exploring the picturesque Cotswolds. The recognition as one of the UK's top gastropubs isn't just hype; the seasonal menu truly sings with local flavor.”
