From the reviews

Breathtaking views from our private balcony...but I would not categorize this property as luxury. We stayed this week in the Queen Suite. The oversized wardrobe is completely locked so there is no place to store any of your belongings (I tried to awkwardly pile all my belongings on one of the small chairs), also there…

This remote Castle Inn has amazing ocean views and is located within a few minutes walking distance from the Little Black Sands Beach. I recommend having a car since the General Store and restaurants are located a bit far away.

We recently stayed at this Inn for a long weekend and it was an unforgettable experience! The Knight Suite felt like a studio apartment and even had a number keypad lock, so no misplacing your room key card. The view from the balcony is amazing and we even had deer walk right past ours in the early morning.

I had the most delightful time at The Castle Inn. The manager, Diane is such a wonderful host. The place is full of magic. The best of the best! Sincerely, Robin Day
