We had a wonderful evening at the Castle Inn celebrating my birthday. The room was beautifully decorated, featuring a large, incredibly comfortable bed. We were greeted with a delightful welcome dish that included delicious locally produced cookies, tea, coffee, and fresh milk. We enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at the restaurant, and both meals were excellent. What really stood out to us was the warmth and friendl... View all feedback.

What Michaela Zweck dislikes about The Castle Inn:
Food was delicious. We had a lovely meal. Food recommended. Service was efficient. But very impersonal. Brisk and uninterested. One waiter asked for the table next to us to give a service tip, suggested 10%. Our glasses were cleared before they were finished. We were tucked away on our own so no atmosphere after the other couple had left. View all feedback.

The Castle Inn is situated right next to Lydford Castle. We called into the bar side whilst visiting the area. Didn’t see the main restaurant side, but the bar area was fabulous. Full of history oozing with country pub charm. With a big roaring fire friendly staff we were quickly made to feel welcome by the friendly staff. Dog friendly with a huge jar of dog treats on the bar. We were only there for drinks, but it was a very enjoyable experience from what I could see the food being served to a group of local men looked delicious.

Two out of four had plaice which were microscopic portions. As a man, I was left ravenous as it contained 4 mouthfuls of food and I have had bigger starters. Fish and chips were OK as was steak pie. Bill for one course Inc one drink each was £83 at lunchtime. Very poor value for money.

My husband and i came for dinner with family and the food was nice, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. They have a nice garden out the back which we came to on a different day during our holiday and it was really nice to sit and relax with a drink and some pork scractchings after tackling the walk of the Gorge.
