Quiet location, handy for Rodwell path into Weymouth . Friendly local bar. Excellent breakfast, everthing hot as cooked to order at specific time. Bar meals could be useful addition but plenty of nearby dining options.

Perfectly located near Weymouth and Portland. Great cozy room with very clean and fresh looking en-suite. Breakfast was amazing everyday and the host was so accommodating and friendly. Will definitely be staying again!

Very good location
We stayed for three nights. It is located in a quiet residential street and a very short distance from a trail which leads to the town centre and Chisel Beach. We enjoyed our evening walk after dinner. Both Portland and Durdle Door are less than 15 minutes drive away. Chisel Beach is only 20 minutes walk. I would recommend to take some lunch and spend a few hours on the beach. A very pleasant three days break and we had the perfect weather as well.

Great accommodation
Stayed here for two nights with my wife. Very satisfied overall. Some onsite parking but plenty around as well so no issues at all. Easy walk into town through a nice path. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Didn't have a drink at the pub but the garden area looked great on a sunny day.

Satisfactory budget accommodation
We chose to stay here because it had parking and we didn’t want to have to spend ages looking for parking in Weymouth. It’s an easy twenty minute walk to the harbour which was fine for us. The really good things about the pub are the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners and the breakfast which, although quite limited in choice ( cereal and/or cooked breakfast), was hot and fresh - lovely! Our room was a good size and had been recently decorated but still managed to look a bit dated, probably because the walls were still wood cop paper and the ceilings artexed. The bathroom was cosy and the shower might have been difficult if you were anything more than average build as it was very small. And I do like a bath sheet rather than a towel; they were also a bit small. There was no housekeeping. The bed was a little hard for me but that’s personal preference; however, the pillows were hard and flat and not very comfortable. This is fine for a weekend but perhaps not for any longer.

The overall experience with this hotel is excellent, the owners Dianne and Martin are very welcoming and friendly and sees to it that our needs are met! Hotel is clean, only thing missing is hair dryer but that doesn’t affect our stay.

A wonderful stay. The room was as per our expectation so really happy. Breakfast was excellent and service was accommodating on all levels. With current restrictions in place we needed to use takeaways as food was not available at the hotel but the owners made this very easy and went the extra mile and supplied all we needed. On approach, the hotel looks like a work in progress but it is very clear the owners are working towards revitilising the hotel to a higher standard. We wish them all the best and would happily return at some point in the future.

weekend away
We've been to the Old Castle on previous trips to Weymouth and it was always OK but the new owners, Martin and Diane have spent a lot of time doing the place up. On entering the building, the first thing you notice is that the Thai restaurant is gone and the area is now used as a breakfast area and on entering the bar, it's been refurbished too. The bedrooms have also had a revamp and the bunk beds have been removed from some of the rooms, creating a feeling of spaciousness in the rooms. They've also been decorated too. The beer garden has also had an overall, though I don't think the owners can take credit for the sunshine that we had when staying there. The next major difference was discovered the following morning. The small buffet breakfasts have gone and been replaced with a choice to suit most appetites, so if you want a buffet, you can have it, right up to a large cooked breakfast. The location of the hotel is also ideal, as it's only 15 to 20 minutes walk from town, so close enough to be handy, yet far enough away, to avoid the noise. If you don't feel like walking, there's a bus stop at the top of the road.. The hotel is also next to the Rodwell trail, so both Chesil beach and Portland are a walk away. Will be back again
