Shawkemo Castle Hotels

"Great"

"Well, my friends and I wish there was a higher rating than 10 for this property. AMAZING from the minute we walked in the door through our 3 night stay. Newly renovated property. The staff is top notch beginning with Caroline, the general manager. She helped us take our bags to our rooms. I saw her helping others also. The lobby is fantastic, which was good for us as we experienced a rouge Nor’easter and was not able to leave the hotel one full day. We spent the day in the lobby playing games. The manager provided a cocktail for each of us. They have a lovely bar in the lobby. Although breakfast is not listed as included, they did have fresh coffee and tea and one morning homemade donuts provided complimentary. We were not able to take advantage of the bikes provided or the beautiful pool due to the weather. The location is perfect. We are women in our 60s and 70s and walked EVERYWHERE except to the airport. The rooms are as gorgeous as the photos posted. Nice linens, towels and beds. My only concern is if we want to come back, we won’t be able to do so ad this place will be booked full! If you are looking at booking, you better do so."

"Such a cute place! The staff was so friendly and accommodating. I loved the coffee, water, and ice cream stations. They had many nice offerings for free throughout the day. The rooms were always so fresh and clean. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. It is located right in the middle of downtown so you can walk to everything! Also, the ferry depot is right up the street! "

"Beautiful room and great staff! had a blast. Will be back. "

"Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Faraway! Great location, amenities, and friendly staff. Looking forward to my next visit!"

"The location was unbeatable and the hotel oozed charm with updates and attention to detail. Great decor, delicious little breakfast (the croissants were homemade and incredible, the juice freshly squeezed) and the staff was kind and thoughtful (there's a daily drink for guests each evening and when I told them I didn't drink alcohol, they brought me and my daughters a delicious non-alcoholic bottle....so thoughtful). Towels, beach chairs, bikes...they made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The only downside to the hotel was not knowing that the room we booked was below ground level with small basement windows that made for a pretty dim interior. The photos we saw upon booking show a beautiful room filled with natural light and the booking said "ground level" which is true in that it's a split level so the front room was below ground but the back room walked out onto a back patio. If we wanted some natural light and opened our shades, we were definitely on display to people walking on the street, so we kind of hated being inside, despite the beautiful decor and soft bedding, because it was pretty dark even in the middle of the day. If natural light and sunshine is something you value in your stay, I would recommend asking exactly which floor you will be on during your stay. I just get the icks in basements and a few spider webs and bugs in corners sort of underscored the feeling, even though it was cleaned each day and very updated and polished. "

"Hosts were very informative and great communication. "
