Castle Rock Country Inn

Our one night stay in this hotel on the Cabot Trail was lovely. Clean, comfortable and a wonderful included hot breakfast. Views from the patio and breakfast room of the water & hills/mountains were stunning. If you were lucky enough to have that view from your room even better. How a room look out front at the Cabot Trail.

It’s a 5 star for location on the Cabot trail and the magnificent views, however the standard of the room means 2 star overall. We had a deluxe ocean facing room. On arrival we found an issue with toilet which was apparently known but sorted 24 hrs later. Bathroom poor / awful thin towels, very dated and dingy. Water pressure low. Rest of room ok but definitely needs an upgrade to call it deluxe. Breakfast ok, not great. Staff were friendly. It looks like it was a great place at one point but somehow has been left to deteriorate over time. Needs investment Stay here for the views but compromise on everything else

Okay place, kind of dated and in need of a refresh. Room had a lovely view, so does the dining room. Room needed some maintenance done and the toilet paper was 0.5ply. Food was not very good but the staff are very friendly and helpful. Seems kind of odd and risky how they work your credit card. First they make you reserve a room with your card and take down all your info online on their booking page, pretty normal. Then when you check in they make you write out your credit card, name, expiry, and security code on your check in sheet even though the sheet doesn’t ask for it, never happened to be before, then they want this repeated with all your card info a third time again when you check out. I would stay here again if the price is right compared to others, or if they freshened the place up and didn’t seem so sketchy with my credit card.
