The Cottage and Castle

What guests think

Travellers describe The Cottage and Castle as a charming, character-filled stay with a consistently friendly host, a convenient location near the waterfront and town, inviting garden and sitting areas, and mostly comfortable rooms that suit the home’s historic feel.

Breakfast wins praise from several guests, though a few found it limited or disappointing. Many slept well, but a couple of reviews cited a hard or sagging mattress, and one noted very low ceiling height in a bedroom. One guest was concerned about a Wi-Fi router placed close to the bed. Expect a personable, homey B&B experience.

Loved the character of this place and the host was friendly and very accommodating with my early departure. The bed was very comfortable and the AC was a relief! I will absolutely stay here again. The garden was gorgeous and added ambiance to the stay.

Check in was quick. The grounds are nicely landscaped. The room was spacious. Sitting out on the front porch with a morning coffee was relaxing. The bed linens were soft, but the mattress needs to be replaced. It dipped into the middle and we placed pillows between us to keep comfortable.

The home was lovely, the on site manager was very nice. The reason for 2 stars, was due to a hard bed and last min discovery of a Wi Fi router right behind the bed, right by our heads. It was covered up by the closed curtain, so for 3 days we couldn't see it and didn't know it was their, till we were packing up and i pull the curtain back and their it was, inchs from my brain the whole time i slept for 3 nights, 😳. Its even in the instructions to never put these thing near a body, my head it still throbbing. Im not impressed.
