The accommodation is dated but if you are prepared to see past that the food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. In fact, they are actively encouraged to pet the dogs that visit. There are no restrictions as to where the dogs are allowed so you can take them down stairs to breakfast with you and they are... More

So you have a couple of humans and hate it when you can't take them with you on short breaks. Well now you can, take them to ''The Castle Inn''. There's a warm welcome for them on arrival, a comfortable human kennel with all amenities, great food and so my packleader says great beers and ciders. My human found it... More

If you are looking for a truly exceptional dog friendly place to eat, drink and/or stay then look no further. Friendly staff, good food and drink and THE place for dogs! Plenty of local walks and away from the Cove quiet and peaceful. 10/10 for dogs and accompanying owners

Did not stay here but did visit for a drink. Have read many of the reviews and with the bias towards dogs would not consider for accommodation. The beer was very good, with a good selection of ales and ciders. The reports of this being a dog friendly pub are not over exaggerated. I am sure that if you are... More

The Castle Inn is a charming old thatched building. Of course you might hit your head on a wooden beam or find the floor uneven. Every room is different and nothing is square. We thought the atmosphere was delightful. Incidentally, we are an old couple in our seventies but our dog is considerably younger and he loved staying there too.... More

Stayed here this week, and after reading some bad reviews I thought I would write one. It's an old building! So expect old wonky floors/walls! Yes the decor could be updated, but I didn't see any peeling wallpaper etc as some reviews say. The one thing I would have redone is the glossing on outside doors if I'm being picky,... More
