Lovely full English, room a bit small,but we knew the size of the room when booked it. Evening menu just right.

Richard United Kingdom

great locations, lovely interior and helpful staff

Bryony United Kingdom

good location close to the attractions of the area & beautifully restored old building with lots of charme, bed was comfortable

Katrin Switzerland

This lovely thatched Inn was a pleasure to stay in. The superior room we were given was clean and attractively decorated with a long bay window and separate sitting area and desk. Although it was hot outside, a Dyson fan kept us cool in the room. The food and beer were excellent and there was plenty of room to eat outside as well. The staff were all helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!

James United Kingdom

Stylishly decorated, beautiful old building which has been severely renovated

Annette United Kingdom

The food was superb, beautiful location and very helpful and friendly staff. Our stay exceeded our expectations and we look forward to re-visiting again soon.

Emily United Kingdom

We initially had a room above the kitchen, which was noisy because of the kitchen fans. We were moved and the other room was very good. The staff were very good sorting this out.

Jane United Kingdom

Location, lovely room, great food and service & little extras in the room.

Robert United Kingdom

We loved our stay, the rooms were tastefully decorated and super cosy. You couldn’t hear any noise from outside. The staff were all friendly and helpful and the food (dinner and breakfast) was exceptional. Would definitely recommend Castle inn!

Kerri United Kingdom

This was a lovely find. The bedroom I stayed in had a very comfy bed and was decorated beautifully. The small bottle of prosecco and non alcoholic local beer was a very nice touch too. I had a very nice dinner and breakfast too. My room faced out onto the road so there was some noise but it wasn't overwhelming. However, it did look right onto people sitting out having a beer so blinds that fit closer to the window would make it easier to sleep and more private. The pub is a really easy to walk to from Lulworth Cove where there are more cafes and places to eat but the best thing is that you can get to Man O War and Durdle Door beaches in about 40 minutes (walking and there is also a bus) and those places have crystal clear water for swimming in and amazing views.
