Top Maiden Castle Hotel Reviews

The Casterbridge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place. Spotless and comfortable and great breakfast."

The Duchess of Cornwall Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean large room. Great tv with a superb picture. Plenty of tea / coffee and biscuits welcome tray. We were surprised how quiet our sleep was, the pub below was busy but no sound from it. The decoration of the whole venue is incredible with so much to look at. There is a lot of car spaces but the area is very busy so it’s a bit of a search to find one."

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing 3 day break in this beautiful location. The attention to detail by the owners is outstanding. ! The photos do not do this place justice. It is so beautiful you will not want to leave. Such a great location. You can do as little or as much as you want. So many wonderful places to visit nearby. However we enjoyed relaxing by the log burner or making use of the wood fired hotttub and just relaxing the most. This place is a gem and the owners are always on hand if you need anything and put some lovely personal touches into the hide. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much !"
