Lovely location, right in the centre of castle rock, great view of the castle! Staff welcoming and friendly, great advice on nearby car parks, I would say our room, number 5, the beds were very springy and hard and pillows very hard too, in my opinion, other than that, good spot if needing somewhere to stay for a night.

The room did not look like the pictures, was old and tired. Tiny TV which had limited reception and the Wifi in the bedroom was patchy to say the least. Noise from other guests and during the night the phone would light up, lighting up the room.

The room was dirty and water was leaking from the toilet because the pipe connected from toilet to sink was hanging down. No one cleaned the carpet the carpet was soaking wet. The room started to smell badley with the wet carpet and no cleaning. No windows to open. Would not recommend
