Castle Lodge Guest House

Spent a few days cycling around the island. The Castle Lodge was a fantastic stay. Not only was Avril a fantastic host but the ability to have our bikes safely outside in the garden was a real bonus. The room was very comfortable and Avril was more than accommodating to helping with the heat with cool water bottles. Her Covid measures were impeccable and we felt really safe while we were there. I highly recommend here for anyone looking for an amazing base to go from is you are exploring around d around the island either by bike or foot.

Our stay at castle lodge guest house has been amazing! I would usually opt for a something like a travelodge as it’s what I’m used to, but this place has inspired me to try other local b&bs etc when I travel in the future. Everything about this place feels homely, from the tidy and clean rooms, to the shared communal spaces like the garden and small lounge, but most importantly the lovely owner (I think) Avril! She is so friendly and to be honest it feels like staying with a friend or family member that you haven’t seen for a while. The complimentary breakfast was also lovely and definitely worth getting up for, which is a big thing for somebody to say who loves a lay in!! The only negative I would say is there was a lot of single use plastic on arrival in my room e.g toiletries and covers for things like the tv remote. However, I also saw a positive in this fact to as it let me know that castle lodge is taking the extra steps necessary to make sure everything is clean during COVID times! Overall, this will be a first choice if I ever stay on the island again!

We had a really comfortable stay at the Castle Lodge B&B. Avril is an excellent host and prepares lovely breakfasts for her guests. The location is brilliant making all parts of the island accessible. Close walk into Newport town meant we could eat out without driving. Would recommend.
