What places2seeplaces2go likes about Castle:
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 wa... View all feedback. What John W doesn't like about Castle:
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. View all feedback.

The Castle Inn, located near Lydford Castle, offers a mix of experiences according to recent reviews. Some diners were left disappointed by the small portion sizes and high prices, feeling that they did not get good value for their money. However, others praised the delicious food, friendly staff, and charming atmosphere of the historic pub.
