Blenkinsopp Castle Inn

Blenkinsopp Castle Inn

8/10 Good
"We had an overnight stay here, with our dog, in room 2. It is a garden room accessed externally via the carpark and small private decked area (seating provided). The room was comfortable and clean. Shower pressure wasn't brilliant, but for an overnight stay, it serficed. The hairdryer provided wasn't very powerful either, so took a long time to dry long hair. Basic tea and coffee making facilities were provided, but you'll need to take your own biscuits if you like having a snack with your brew! Booking in was straightforward and staff were both friendly and helpful. The inn itself is very welcoming with a dining area for breakfast and evening meals, and a comfortable bar area. Staff serving food and drinks were friendly, helpful and attentive. We would highly recommend the food - freshly cooked, beautifully presented and tasted fantastic! We had both our evening meal and breakfast here and enjoyed it all. The inn is easily accessible and quiet, serving both the guests and the owners of residential static caravans on site. There are also historical ruins adjoining the inn which were interesting to look at and read about if you enjoy a touch of history!"
