    historic decor
    poor communication
    steep stairs

    Charming historic decor throughout the property.

    Getting to the hotel was a nightmare. The road was unexpectedly closed, and we received no prior notification, leaving us to scramble for parking. The steep stairs were challenging, and the cramped room felt neglected, which diminished the experience.

    friendly hosts
    great breakfast
    central location
    low ceilings
    no parking

    the location was perfect for the wedding venue. The hosts were super friendly n attentive. i loved the quirky old building, really adds character. breakfast was yum, i had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. they even provided a fan for the heatwave which was a nice touch. everything was clean and comfy!

    the ceiling was kinda low for me and i bumped my head a couple of times. also, parking was a bit tricky since there was no designated spot.

    spacious family room
    great breakfast
    spotty wi-fi

    Super comfy stay!

    We had a lovely 3 nights in a spacious family room. Clive and Julie were so friendly and even made us sandwiches for breakfast since we were up early. The original beams in the room gave it such a nice vibe. The only thing was the Wi-Fi could be a bit spotty at times. Would definitely recommend for a relaxed getaway!

    delicious delights
    top-notch breakfast
    welcoming hosts
    tricky parking
    uneven floors

    Bishop's Castle is a foodie’s dream! The local eateries like The Chai Shop and The Castle Hotel Restaurant serve up delicious delights. Plus, the breakfast at Poppy House was top-notch, cooked to perfection with fresh ingredients. Clive and Julie were a welcoming duo, making every meal memorable.

    Parking was a bit of a juggling act while checking in with bags galore. The uneven floors were quirky but could trip up those with mobility issues—definitely something to keep in mind!

    Just a strong match for a budget stay in Bishop's Castle with best value. The hot shower was a lifesaver after a long day. Make sure to arrive before things close too early.
