Castle Inn, Newport - A Historic Welsh Hostelry Reimagined

The Castle Inn, a 19th-century stone building in the heart of Newport, Pembrokeshire, has been reborn under new ownership. Liam and Simon have set about revitalizing this historic public house, aiming to cement its legacy as a cornerstone of the community. It's a place that respects its past, hinted at by tales of secret passages once used by King Charles himself, while looking forward with a fresh, distinctive brand.

Location

Situated in the heart of Newport, this inviting stone building stands proudly on the northern side of the street, putting it within easy reach of the town's independent galleries, shops, and other eateries. A pleasant 10-minute walk leads to the beach, with the estuary a mere five minutes away. Nearby Newport Parrog Beach offers opportunities for classic seaside days, with an even larger bay accessible nearby. For those inclined to explore, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park provides ample opportunities for coastal walks, with staff happy to share local insights.

Style and Character

The Castle Inn retains its traditional Welsh stone building character, offering a warm and homely atmosphere. The interior balances the historic charm with contemporary touches, evident in the restaurant's 'cozy cwtch' area, complete with a log burner, and the inclusion of local art. The bar area is designed to foster a welcoming environment, even for guests accompanied by their furry companions. While the charm of an old building is present, potential guests should be aware of the attic room's limited height in certain areas.

Service and Facilities

Liam and Simon preside over a welcoming establishment, with staff aiming to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The bar area is designed for convivial conversation, and the restaurant provides a distinct space for diners seeking a quieter experience, with the option for music and local art to enhance the ambiance. For those seeking a bit of fun, there are regular nights of entertainment throughout the week. The inn also caters to canine companions, offering vegan and dog-friendly ice cream from a roadside scooping hatch, alongside the usual favourites.

Rooms

Accommodation options include double rooms, featuring a flat-screen TV, en-suite bathroom with complimentary toiletries, and towels. Triple rooms offer a view, while quadruple rooms provide ample space. Some rooms are pet-friendly. Tea and coffee facilities, a sitting area, and carpeted floors are standard. It is worth noting the limited height in certain areas, particularly in the attic room, a characteristic of its historic nature.

Food and Drink

The Castle Inn offers an extensive, home-cooked menu with a strong emphasis on classic pub fare, hearty ingredients, and prompt service. The culinary offerings include a plentiful and varied homemade curry. For those seeking alternatives, options like halloumi burger, jackfruit chilli, wild mushroom stroganoff, and kimchi and aubergine cannelloni are available. The week's best deal features a 6oz Rump or 8oz Gammon with all the trimmings for a modest price. The restaurant provides a relaxed dining experience, with a 'cozy cwtch' area for intimate meals. Special events, such as 'Curryoke', offer unique entertainment.

Value for Money

The Castle Inn presents itself as a good value option, particularly given its historic setting and the breadth of its home-cooked menu. The weekly special offers are a clear draw, and the inclusion of substantial sandwich platters for quiz participants adds to the perceived value. The focus on hearty, good-quality ingredients at reasonable prices makes it an appealing choice for families and those seeking a satisfying meal without extravagance.

Accessibility

Information regarding specific accessibility features for guests with mobility challenges is not detailed. However, the mention of an attic room with limited height suggests that not all areas may be easily accessible for everyone. Further inquiry directly with the property would be advisable for detailed accessibility needs.

Family-Friendly

The Castle Inn is positioned as an ideal stay for the whole family. The provision of a varied and plentiful menu, alongside regular entertainment nights, caters to diverse tastes and age groups. The welcoming atmosphere extends to four-legged family members, with dog-friendly ice cream available. The proximity to the beach and local attractions further enhances its appeal for family outings. The restaurant area can be separated for quiet family functions, ensuring a comfortable dining experience for all.

“The Castle Inn stands out for its warm embrace of both guests and their canine companions, offering well-appointed rooms and a commitment to local flavors, evident in its outstanding food and drink selections; the beer garden and cozy restaurant further enhance the experience. In my opinion, it's the ideal base to explore Pembrokeshire Coast National Park while enjoying an authentic Welsh welcome.”
