A fantastic pub/hotel in a superb location for exploring the Jurassic Coast.
Pros:

Fantastic location. Access to the whole area. Food was exceptional. Best pub food we’ve ever eaten and huge portions. Rooms were comfortable and cosy with a real ‘home from home’ feel with lots of personal touches. The staff were warm and friendly and went out of their way to look after us. Can’t recommend The Castle Inn more highly.

Relaxing
Pros:

Clean, quirky and great shower

Cons:

Only thing was we were unable to check in a bit earlier and had to wait to 3 pm but probably if requested days before they may have let us book in at an earlier time

Geschichtsreich charmantes Schmuckstück - ein Gasthaus wie es besser nicht sein kann
Pros:

Ein altehrwürdiges Haus, das mit viel Liebe und Gastfreundschaft geführt wird. Eine lange Geschichte ist in den verwinkelten Gängen zum Zimmer zu finden. Angekommen im Zimmer, zu dem wir persönlich geführt wurden, hat uns ein wunderschön eingerichtetes, schnuckelig kleines Zimmer erwartet - mit Musik, Getränken und Cookies, einer tollen Dusche und einem herrlich bequemen Bett.
Das Personal war überaus zuvorkommend und freundlich. Das Abendessen konnten wir im Inn einnehmen und hatten eine hochwertige Auswahl an allerlei Speisen (auch vegan). Ebenso das Frühstück mit viel Auswahl.

Great location, fantastic food and lovely friendly staff. Had fish and chips in the pub for dinner which was amazing. Great breakfast too! Lovely little touches throughout the hotel such as a complimentary drink and pillow spray.,Overall a fantastic stay!
