The Castle Inn Hotel

Description:

• Don't expect a castle. Though this place plays up its historical importance, you'll find there is an "old" core (no one on the staff is sure of how old), with many newer additions that don't exactly gracefully merge into a unified whole. The result is a hotel that's neither whimsically antique nor strikingly modern -- but it is not dowdy. Bedrooms come in various shapes and sizes, including some beautifully appointed and spacious "superior" units. Five are large enough for families. The more modern but equally comfortable rooms are in a new wing. Two of the old-fashioned rooms contain four-poster beds.
