A group of us planned a few days walking in this beautiful area and pre booked The Castle Hotel for a two nights stay. We all agreed that the unpretentious but very friendly and helpful staff, under the first class stewardship of Rebecca, the warm ambiance of the hotel's facilities, the tasty food, and, (as mere males ! ),the excellent...

Spent a lovely Bank Holiday weekend at the Castle Hotel with another couple who suggested this place (see review below, billeharding). The hotel is as charming and welcoming as Bishop's Castle itself and we had very pleasant stay. The rooms are clean and bright and the refurbishing of this beautiful building has been done gently and respectfully. Very nice bathrooms... More

We simply had to return to Bishop's Castle, and the lovely Castle Hotel. This time we brought a couple of friends with us, and we all had a wonderful time in this picturesque village. During the day we were hiking in the beautiful countryside near the village, and found the hotel staff both friendly and knowledgeable about local walks. Later... More

The room was delightful with a great view over the rooftops.Compared to other more expensive hotels we have been to this one beats many hands down. What a shame... More

This is our second visit to Bishops Castle and Castle Hotel, enjoyed last time for the unspoiled atmosphere of both town and hotel, and as good or even better second time round. We had one of the newly refurbished bedrooms with brilliant en-suite shower room and views over the town's rooftops, and once again were well looked after by obliging... More

We were there April 17-19 and have already decided to return this autumn to better realise the full potential of this delightful area. There are several good ridge walks in easy reach of Bishops Castle which is an excellent town to... More

It is a real jewel and we had an equally good stay this time, The dogs loved it especially romping in the snow on our walks. The food was excellent and it was difficult choosing... More

We booked four rooms for four mates for our annual walking weekend. The hotel met all expectations, characterful, good value , good hosts and staff, good food and a fine real ale bar. Very clean, plenty of hot water. Absolutely no criticism and by the way it's in the heart of a lovely and very alternative small town far from... More
