The Old Castle Hotel

I was greeted warmly on arrival and given all relevant information the room had just been refurbished and was clean and functional. I had a wonderful nights sleep and the breakfast was delicious. Thank you for such a lovely stay! Would recommend.

We are local and used to go to the Old Castle every Friday for food and a wind down after a busy week at work, unfortunately, this has not been the case until this week. Food started being served last week, so we popped down and was not disappointed with what was on offer and at a great price too. We do hope this continues and other locals alike support the landlord and landlady who are working hard to make big improvements to the business and its surroundings. Well done Martin and Dianne, wishing you every success

In many respects this place should be marked good rather than average, as the owners have made a great effort (and appear to be continuing to do so). The service was very friendly and the rooms comfortable, if not luxurious. The food in the evening was surprisingly good as well. Overall, a great effort by the owners and certainly worth a stay if you need to be somewhere between Portland and Weymouth

Brilliant quiet location very close to 2 beautiful beaches and the Rodwell trail. The room was large and spotless and had everything you needed. Breakfast was freshly cooked and was awesome. Martin and Diane were excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be visiting again.

Visited this venue Tuesday 16th august. It didn’t disappoint. The food was spot on. Our party had for starters; Whitebait Chicken strips Fiery wings All were delicious, portion sizes were great Onto mains Risotto Lasagna Liver and onions. Would highly recommended and will be visiting again.

We received a friendly welcome, which continued throughout our stay by the lovely owners. The location is a good stroll out of the centre, but there is a walkway (Rodwell trail) which takes 20 mins - 30 mins depending which part of town you are heading for. It is close to a couple of beaches however where we enjoyed some time with our 2 daughters. Small car park but plenty of spaces available in the street outside. The breakfast was good & served with a smile. Also a decent bar available. We stayed in the family room - which was a good size with a bunk bed for our 2 girls. The bathroom was a little disappointing as all water worked from a macerator which was explained, but left the shower weak & a small sink made difficult to clean teeth etc. The wifi was very poor - again explained difficult in that part of the hotel, but I had to pay extra for a portable wifi connection. It was a pleasant stay overall & again the hosts were kind throughout,
