Castlebaldwin Vacations from $1,241

Breakfast was 8:30 and I was leaving early to catch ferry!! Room very cold but radiator had been switched off, once turned on the room heated up nicely. Fish and chips were delicious.

Free parking on roadside, food was excellent with large portions. Staff very friendly and helpful. Well worth staying here.

I wasn’t given a courtyard room as advertised on Expedia. I asked to change and was given a superior room, still without a view of the courtyard or patio doors into it. I walked by the courtyard and there were numerous empty rooms all illuminated - lights ablaze through the night Staff were great - friendly and helpful with the notable exception of the Irish female receptionist who had zero personal skills and should not be in a customer facing role. I tried to book a massage but was told they were fully booked. I think being January they aren’t fully staffed. I would advise checking availability before booking if you want a spa break. The gym was a good size but the cardio machines are old and need to replaced. The hotel is a little dated but its location is superb. I attended in the bar and both the steak and salmon were excellent. Breakfast was disappointing. The avocado and sour dough toast tasteless. I think the mashed avocado is prepared and refrigerated. Would I go back ? - yes probably. The staff and location make up for the slightly dated feel.

Delightful reception staff in this iconic hotel which oozes history of celebrations from past eras. A lovely regal presence as soon as you enter with vibrant red sitting room around a fireplace. Our room was large with tasteful velvet drapes showcasing a delightful water view. Such a lovely stay - Thank you Arnolds
