Reviews of The Castle Inn

No breakfast available - not known at time of booking. Expensive for standard of room and food

Great meals and comfort

Very welcoming and hospitable.

No breakfast

Great location. Bar and food appear lovely, although we didn't eat there. Owner/manager was very pleasant.

Ridiculously overpriced for what it is. Stopped serving food at 6pm and the entire place closed at 8pm. The room was spacious but really, really tired. Peeling wallpaper, a door that has seen much better days, a selection of clothes hangers that look like the bad leftovers from someone's house, soft mattress, dusty window frames and blinds... After the place closes at 8pm (on a sunday), there is zero service available. £50 cheaper, and you'd get over all this, but it is very overpriced for what you get.

Staff were very pleasant. Nice location in a picturesque village.

Relative to the cost, the room was badly in need of upgrading. Bed linen and towels were spotless but the overall cleanliness of the room was disappointing. Overall it did not feel like value for money.

Really comfortable room and very easy to deal with staff Thanks Claire and Cormac really helped me out 1st class

Lovely property with character. Polite attentive staff, excellent food and location.

The bedrooms are dated and there was an obvious amount of dust on mirrors and surfaces

The rooms were adequately clean.

The staff were poorly informed about my arrival and did not communicate the availability and unavailability facilities well. For example, breakfast was unavailable for the duration of my stay, but I was only informed of this by another guest. A fire alarm went off at 06:30 on the morning of my second night there. There was a great deal of confusion around the correct procedure and how to reset the alarm. Trying to use the TV after the alarm, I discovered it was not functional as the batteries in the remote had leaked. None of this is acceptable at the price point.

We had paid for a delux double room, but on arrival we were told to change rooms due to an oversight of us bringing a small dog (although stated on the booking form) and were treated quite abruptly by the barman/manager. Room 2 did not meet deluxe standards and he didn’t offer any discounts. The female members of staff were brilliant and very friendly and made us feel welcome. The breakfasts were very good and exceptional steak pie and seafood risotto.

None

None

We booked room only but had lunch in the restaurant which was good. Staff are friendly and service was good.

The bathroom floor was partially heated which made the room very warm and the window didn't open to let fresh air in.

Great value for the quality.

The Castle Inn is a lovely place to stay.

only down side was the bed was not very comfy I could feel the springs in the mattress

Lovely location in the village next to the Castle. Bus stop right outside taking you to N Berwick or Edinburgh. Lovely breakfast.

Decoration and carpets v tired. Confusion over whether breakfast was included in price.

Location is excellent as it is directly opposite castle and gardens, quiet village with green, good walks out from accommodation and on our walk to the back of the village we found a lovely garden centre offering excellent food reasonably priced. Parking was easy at front of accommodation. Other visitors at the accommodation had walked down to the beach from there.

Room and decor was a bit tired and quite dark, although the floor space was large so plenty of room to lay suitcases out. Beds could do with being renewed.

Great position , free shuttle bus to north Berwick on a Sunday morning

Last night of our 10 day walking adventure paid £225 which said included breakfast no staff working till 9 am on Sunday morning which was to late for us so no breakfast 😢 double the price of all our other night stays and didn’t reflect that really . The staff were friendly though and food was good
