Great location, great staff!

Loved staying at the Castle Hotel. The staff were super friendly, checkin was quick, and for being above a bar- it wasn’t too loud. It is super close to the beach and the castle ruins and a brief 5 minute walk to all kinds of cute restaurants and shops. The only thing of note was the toilet took a bit to flush and the shower water was more tepid than hot but overall, I can’t say enough good things.

Overall a clean, spacious top floor room and bathroom with view of sea. Staff really friendly. Would stay again. Pillows thin and single bed of twin rather creaky. Bottled water not available as complementary item. Still slept well. Location very close to seafront/harbour and pretty quiet.

This is less a hotel, and more bed and breakfast. I was disappointment by not being able to drop a bag before check-in and the limited breakfast options. But the room was very comfortable, warm, and clean. The standby light from the TV was bright, but this is my only complaint with the actual room.

6/10 Okay

Shower didn’t work properly literally trickled out the shower head . Bed not big enough for 2 adults but if you fell asleep on your back and didn’t move would be ok just about but if you move about in your sleep it’s not fit for purpose. Watch your should on the bedside cupboards too. The last and final thing, other people staying they come back in a late evening. You can hear every door open close and slam as the room is directly above the entrance. I’m very loud people living in the Properties opposite and when opening window having a strong Smell of a substance. Apart from this very clean throughout. Young girl behind bar absolutely perfect at her job very welcoming polite and explained everything 10 out of 10. Oh one more thing I forgot don’t get into watching anything because after 10 minutes TV just goes fuzzy this is on all channels.

Overall it was fine but I very expensive for what we actually got. The room was fine but small and the bed was not the best apart from that it was fine. I paid £140 for the night and breakfast which was continental was another £25 for the two of us. Very expensive for a room above a pub.
