So we were staying at the cottage across the road and popped in here for a swift drink on a couple of nights. Staff were lovely and engaged us in conversation which was a pleasure knowing how the south are about ignorance. We are from Shropshire and found all those people we spoke to in the pub as if we were long lost relatives. We didn't eat but the food looked lovely and plentiful. Great choice of beers and great outside space.

We stayed at Downe Arms to attend a wedding near Castleton. The landlord was very accommodating and allowed us to get change there prior to check in . All the staff were very friendly . We had a full English in the morning which was very good and good quality ! The room was clean, tidy and beautiful view .

Firstly this review is about the BnB aspect of our stay here not the pub/Bar food. The heating in the rooms had been turned off,it was May yes but both us and the couple we visited with were both told to turn the radiator valve one way or the other, they were centrally turned off so rooms freezing on the two night stay. Also no complimentary shower gel,shampoo or any form of any bathroom essentials. I mean come on it's just good manners to show a guest you value them for choosing to stay. Breakfast no menu so you can at least see what is on offer, and no vegetarian option or ask of any dietary needs. Had to ask if any fresh orange juice and we clearly saw the staff returning from outside with some, I can only assume from the co op over the road. It should be on display what is on offer to eat, not just having to ask if it's here or not, which was a real let down and annoying. It's like we were having to ask and guess if we can have it or not. Lastly as a BnB we feel it was over priced as we paid as two couples £306 each for two nights that was with breakfasts as feel it's over priced. Budget BnB at best. Like I said bar and pub food and that aspect of the place is good but the BnB side needs a shake up on price and personal touch.

We stayed overnight, having an early start at Sandsend the next morning. It seemed a convenient place. The rooms were clean and pleasant, with views over the spectacular scenery of the North York Moors. We were served a very generous breakfast in the morning. The full English is guaranteed to set you up for whatever strenous walking you may have planned, at least until lunchtime. The owner and his wife are very friendly and welcoming. For those looking for a good evening meal, the Eskdale, just half a mile down the road, has a great menu and a really nice dining room. One of the less pleasant aspects of our stay was that the Friday we were there, it was music night at the pub. The singer was good: I know, because I could hear every note in my room. We had planned for an early night, but until it ended at 11pm, that was out of the question. Our friend, staying down the corridor, was also kept awake, and was then roused at 5am by a toddler shouting in the next room. The pub is a Victorian inn, with nicely converted upstairs rooms, but they did not include much soundproofing in their redesign plans. That is unfortunate. The prices for the rooms were not cheap either. I recommend that anyone planning to stay should enquire in advance whether their time includes any events in the pub, if they have any thoughts of getting to sleep before eleven pm. Also, check the prices against those advertised online, and make sure you don't get overcharged (our first quote was a lot higher, reduced on request), and check that breakfast is included in the price if you are paying above the usual rate.

9 of us had a meal here whilst staying in the village. 5 of us had various Parmos, they were delicious, huge (none of us finished) and really good value. All the other meals (steak, fish and chips, pie, something vegetarian) were also rated as delicious. Definitely well worth a visit.

We are staying at a friend's cottage in the village and thought we'd try the local for food and drinks. The place is lovely and clean and got a very nice welcome as we walked in. Had Timothy Taylor landlord on. So hubby was very happy and said its a very good pint. We ordered our food. The place was busy and we had to wait but I believe if it comes out in 10 mins it can't be good. Well the wait was worth it. The portion size was extremely good. And you definitely don't leave hungry. Food was very well presented and was delicious. If you are in the area or lucky enough to live in the village, it's well worth a visit. We'll be back.

We stayed in a beautiful cottage down the road from this pub. Called in for drinks 1st night and booked table for meal for 2nd night. The meal was absolutely fantastic, everything is freshly cooked, a very busy pub and I can see why. The menu offers food for all tastes and it’s really reasonably priced considering the standard of the food. If you visit and want a meal make sure you pre book because otherwise you may be disappointed it is that popular. We did eat there again before we left because we wanted to try other meals on the menu. The meals are plenty big enough and very filling. Both times we couldn’t manage even a dessert we were so full. Very dog friendly also

We gazed in awe at those fellow diners who ordered Parmo's for two, which came on a wooden platter. We felt Covid safe and enjoyed our first dining in experience for a long time. There is also a nice garden out the back overlooking chickens, ponies and a nice view of the moors. Note, at the time of visit they were not currently open for food every night. Check and book.

Stayed at the pub for two nights whilst visiting family in the village, really nice welcoming, friendly locals pub that also welcomes people from outside of the area. There is plenty of drink choices, definitely something for everyone and the food was top class ! Jack is a very talented chef and won't send out food he isn't happy with, he puts a lot of effort into the flavours and also presentation of the food and it definitely shows. We stayed in room 3 which had everything you needed from a comfortable bed, TV, dressing table, tea and coffee making facilities, cupboard space for clothes and complimentary toiletries in the bathroom. Really impressed with the breakfast and nothing was too much trouble for the staff, delicious fryup on our last morning and even a doggy bag to take for our journey home as we were too full to finish breakfast. Thank you for a lovely stay, we can't wait to come back. High recommend.

You can never have enough gravy.The garlic mushroom starter was lovely and the sticky toffee pudding was scrummy.As we were staying nearby and had spotted some of the other dishes coming out we returned last night and tried the chicken dish. Flattened chicken breasts, coated with breadcrumbs and covered in bechemel and cheese sauce. Served with salad and triple cooked chips. It was amazing.Can’t wait to try another dish.If you are around Castleton then it is so worth a visit.Ruth and Keith Newey

We visited the Downe Arms to eat on a Saturday evening, having pre-booked a table, as it was close by our accommodation. The staff were very friendly and were attentive to make sure that everything was OK, which it was. Menu choices are what one would expect from a classic British Pub menu, but unlike many of the pub "chains", well executed and we found the cheese board to be generous with respect to the lovely cheeses, but also the amount of crackers (something that, weirdly, I have found to be in short supply in other places). We hope to return to Castleton at some point, and the Downe Arms will definitely be an incentive to return. Good pub food.

We visited for a late Sunday lunch & from the moment we entered the Downe Arms we were made to feel welcome. We were given a choice of areas to eat & chose the small dining room with a lovely table by the log burner. The menu choice was extremely good but after a brisk coastal walk on a damp November day...we were here for a traditional Sunday roast. The meal was very good & tasty, vegetables perfectly cooked & the roast beef flavoursome....I would have liked the choice of having my beef on the rare side but that is purely a personal choice. We look forward to visiting again as the whole menu was imaginative & tempting plus the warm & friendly welcome made us want to return.

Welcoming and friendly pub in the centre of Castleton. Unfortunately didn't serve food whilst we stayed in the village but that was all due to change on the day we left. Lovely and warm inside thanks to the log burner being regularly topped up and only let down by the limited choice of real ales.

Had the opportunity of visiting the Downe in Castelton over the last couple of weekends. A fantastic place to stay; lovely rooms, cracking beer and excellent staff, led by Julie & Neil. They have really made a difference and brought the place to life - a full pub, good quiz and brilliant live band - a real pleasure to spend time there.

This was better than pub food, with friendly service and better than the Fox and hounds where we stayed. A nice atmosphere and well worth a visit.

Came here with my partner and our neighbour for a lunchtime treat and what a treat it was. Full menu available on a lunchtime and specials too. I chose the duck which was lovely and presented beautifully, my partner had steak which he really enjoyed and our neighbour also chose from the special board and had sea bass which he thoroughly enjoyed. We were so full be didn’t have room for dessert but I will leave room on my next visit. Fantastic host and an amazing building. Can’t comment on toilet facilities as didn’t use them but I’m sure they were immaculate as everywhere else was. Would we return? For sure :-)

My boyfriend and I cannot recommend the Downe Arms Inn highly enough. The staff are unanimously incredibly friendly and the view from the garden is postcard perfect (a tableau of sheep, chickens, cows, swallows and a cat). Not to mention the food...We both had the pan fried chicken on our final evening in Castleton and it was absolutely stunning. And if you like dogs, Archie, the resident dog is so cute.

My girlfriend, our neighbour and myself ate here today and we were all very impressed. The food, service and surroundings were all A1 and could not be faulted - and what a view from the beer garden at he back!!! I had rump steak, this missus had duck and our friend went for the sea bass, all three dishes were perfectly presented and tasted beautiful. I believe that the owners have not long taken over, but I can say that we definitely will be back in the not too distant future. Must mention that they are dog friendly too, and our two needy pooches were made to feel welcome. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Dined here yesterday evening. What a great change in such a short time. We are close...so we will be back. Apart from a logistics problem...what was on the menu didn't tally with what was served...we could not fault the place AND what we DID get was superb. Quality ingredients and excellent execution from cooking to presentation makes The Downe Arms a great venue...unequivocal recommendation.

Not sure what more you could ask for when you attend a pub if your foods delicious, pints great & the views overlooking the moors.

The warm welcome our walking group received from the new landlady was like a breath of fresh air compared to the last time. This excellent pub is now back on our list. Lovely pint of Black Sheep and service with a smile. Excellent views over Danby Dale from the beer garden.

Just had another enjoyable meal at The Downe Arms. Warm welcome with friendly and efficient service. Really enjoyed my 'Surf and Turf' and kids accommodated with small versions of Sunday roast which they both enjoyed.

We have new landlords at the Downe arms and they have created a lovely atmosphere with a cosy log fire and great food. Well worth a visit.

Please ignore any bad reviews for this place, they refer to the previous management before January 2018. The new management at this pub really have turned the place around. Had a lovely Sunday lunch today - highly recommended, give it a try.

We went to this pub on the 1st evening it opened under new management & so glad we did. Obviously they have a lot of changes to make but are very enthusiastic & made us very welcome. They are going to make a lot of changes to the place with new kitchens & refurbished bedrooms. We look forward to seeing the changes next time we stay in Castleton. Good luck!

Lo siento pero no recomiendo este pub a cualquiera. Tres parejas reservaron dos dobles y una habitación individual. Sí teníamos una gran vista, pero la habitación anticuado y destartaladas. La alfombrilla de baño estaba completamente desgarrada, azulejos en el baño y caía cortina de la ducha estaba sucio, lo peor de todo la escobilla no había sido lavado después de un uso anterior.

Nice hosts, nice food (liver, onions & gravy in a Yorkshire pud), promptly cooked, nice pint (St Austell, Sunshine or something similar)..... and open too, what's not to like!
