The Castle Hotel

Property in poor repair and gardens overgrown and not looked after
Food very basic
The bar shut at 20.30hrs after the locals left, asked to have our drinks in our bedroom and made feel uncomfortable until we finished our drink

Great stay and lovely food.

Comfortable stay in good location. Hospitable and friendly.

The hotel is very tired, it needs a lick of paint everywhere. All of the staff kept saying how busy they were but the hotel didn't look busy at all. The beds were uncomfortable, the shower is tiny and the bed for my daughter had no headboard.
We were asked if we wanted breakfast, I said I don't know yet and I was told that I needed to make a decision straight away.

This small hotel is clean and friendly. The food is all freshly prepared and cooked for each order. It was very tasty and well presented. Owners and staff are friendly and welcoming.

They also welcome, for a small charge, well behaved dogs which is great if you own a pet that you cannot leave at home with someone else. Our little dog loved the area and there was a nice walk close by.

Property upgrade in progress. Accommodation fine.
Pub area very welcoming. Good English breakfast. Lovely hosts.

Ok, but a very cold room

Owners very welcoming and accommodating.
Rooms clean and pleasant.
Great food. Great real ales and cider.

Shabby hotel, old fashioned room, horrible bathroom. NOT as photos suggested! No food. No parking. No wonder the pub was empty. Shan't go there again despite proximity to Le Shuttle.

A two night stay away. The room was a nice size.
The carpark is shared with village, so the first night we had to park on the road.
The checking in times are strict, as the bar/ pub closes.

Decent room , good value .

We stayed here as we had a reservation at hide and fox resturant, perfect location as its almost opposite!
Owners lovely, room was comfortable and clean, although a little dated and small.
We only had a pre dinner drink in the pub so cant comment on the food as we opted to have brunch down in hythe the following morning.
Room had tv with various channels, tea and coffee facilities, also shower gel and shampoo was provided in the shower room

Average not made very welcome

The hotel closes at 9pm so you cannot get a drink when you get back from an event or a bar snack , eg crisps etc

We stayed here for one night. The pub is a proper old English pub. Nice garden to sit in even though it on the main road that runs through the village but it's not a problem as it seems very quiet. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Large selection of bear, larger and spirits. The food was reasonably priced and fresh. Room we stayed in had a 4 poster bed which was very comfortable as well as comfortable pillows. Some people will moan the decor is dated in the rooms and to a degree it is but it's clean and comfortable. I would say that in time this will be updated. The cost of living effects not just people but business as well. Front of house is what people see ie the pub which looks like it has not long been done so in time i am sure the rooms will be to. Only bad point is no milk in the morning for tea in the room as it had gone off. A small fridge in the room would solve the problem but not a big deal. If we are ever this way again i would stay here. And even recommend it to family and friends. Look forward to sticky toffee pudding if we go back.

Very good service from staff nothing to much trouble.

Pleasant stay and good food

Only needed a room for the night, so not a lot to say. Met needs just fine, quiet and clean. Room exactly as specified, and set up as requested. Woould use again.

Very run down

Nice cozy hotel with friendly staff.
