We came her for my wife's birthday. Really excited that we would meet my sister who had come from near London to surprise her . We had a meal the guys had the curry which came up so dry to be honest it was microwaved it was so disappointing as we was paying £16 ahead, so we complained we got two meals for free but I feel I couldn't go to this establishment again for a meal. Sorry but yes 2 meals for free but how many birthdays you have at 60 !!! Never Again

Stayed for a two night stay, it was a lovely spacious room with large bathroom. The downside there was no heating on the first night and when it did come on the second night it sounded like the room was going to take off! The radiator needed bleeding so woke us up in the middle of the night and had to be promptly turned off. The pub and the grub was lovely in the evening, unfortunately the breakfast fell short as the English breakfast was cold with one sausage completely overcooked and hard, very poor. The second morning, the chef failed to arrive, I was going to avoid the English breakfast anyway and appreciate the member of staff that did remain efforts in doing us both a bacon roll. It did seem disorganised in the morning as also the juice, hot water and bowls ran out for cereal it was a shame because the evening meal before was excellent.

We are so disappointed with our visit today. A celebratory lunch for our 20th wedding anniversary and birthdays. As a family of 4, including a toddler, we ordered food and were informed it was a 35 min wait. After over an hour, our food arrived. Sunday dinner trio - freezing cold, missing two of the meats. Cauliflower cheese -cold and burnt. Roast beef - freezing cold. Kids burger- burnt to a crisp in a stale bread bun with 4 chips! Kids pasta - room temperature. We have eaten in Vintage Inns before and the food was definitely far from the usual standard. It was busy however it is not fair to serve food to such a poor standard. Thankfully after asking for a refund, after not touching our food, we were given it. The staff member was very apologetic. My son enjoyed fish and chips just round the corner which cost 10p less than the kids meal (£8.50) and was huge!

Enjoyed a meal with friends - we had to send back the sea bass as it was rather dry and staff were very helpful - returned with another which was similar so we chose an alternative dish which was delicious. Sophie in particular was very helpful and polite. All staff lovely and friendly. Will return again soon.

3 of us visited today. Pretty busy inside so waited at the door a while in case we needed to be seated by member of staff but no one came over, no sign saying wait to be seated so wandered about and found an empty table. No reserved sign etc so sat down. After a little bit a waitress came over and asked if someone had seated us there. We said no and that we had waited at the door but no one came over so found an empty table. She asked how many would be eating and we said just us 3. She then said that as that section was table service and only one staff member on that section, they saved those seats for reservations. We said that there was no reservation on the table so we thought it was ok. She said again that this section was saved for call aheads and asked us if we would sit in the other section. We were confused but agreed (even though NO signs saying anything about not sitting there/wait to be seated etc) and asked if there was free tables in the other sections, she said yes so we left the table and followed her to the bar. Upon getting to the bar, she wandered off without showing us to a table.. we looked around and the section she had told us to go to was completely full and she had disappeared so we just left..? Really weird experience.. we went across the road to the Bulls Head where we were welcomed and served without issue. Strange and disappointing.

We had a lovely meal with a variety of choices on the menu. Everything was delicious. Service was very good despite the place being very busy. Staff were friendly and helpful. The kitchen spotted that one family member, who is gluten intolerant, had inadvertently ordered a dish with gluten. She was offered a variant on the chosen meal. Well done!

I popped in here with friends for a Sunday roast to split up a Mam Tor walk. The Roast Vegetable Wellington was a satisfying meal- I especially loved the cranberry sauce filling. However, broccoli was substituted for some rather bland spring greens.

Chose the Castle on the good reviews written. So I booked a table for 2pm Sunday lunch the starter was average at best. However the main course was only tepid at best we mentioned this to 2 staff members as we couldn't eat a nearly cold Sunday roast. This completely fell on deaf ears " we'll tell the chef" no offer to warm it up or any acknowledgement whatsoever very disappointed will not be eating there again. On the plus side my dogs had a Sunday roast all it was fit for really shame.

We stayed in Castleton for a week and ate in a different pub each evening. Our meal at the Castle was without doubt a highlight of the week; I had the lamb which was perfectly cooked. The pub/restaurant was pleasantly decorated, the staff were friendly and the food exceptional. We highly recommend visiting this delightful pub.

Great pub in the heart of a gorgeous village! Their Signature Burger is one of the best I've had, I was in the area but wasn't feeling up to sitting in the pub so nipped in to see if they would do a takeaway meal, which they did no problem! I had an ice cold Estrella while I waited, no more than 15-20 minutes and voila! got my burger to eat in my van! It was soooo good, better than I remembered, and the pickle on the side just finished it off! Great service as usual, in a busy pub on a bank holiday, I'll be back soon!

Staying at the Castle Inn for 2 x evenings at just short of £400 b&b. Had evening meal first night with my issue being something small but nevertheless it's the principal. Having desert I asked for more custard which they obliged (not enough in the first instance) but then only to find that I was charged for this of which I find astounding given the cost of the b&b stay. It's like asking for extra toast at breakfast and being charged for it. Booked meal for 2nd evening initially but now cancelled it on the back of that. Appalling customer service if you ask me. Won't be staying there again.

Popped in here for lunch, OH had calamari started followed by gammon and I had the steak sandwich. Good was excellent, my sandwich came with generous portion of chips which I couldn’t finish. The steak sandwich was perfect and so tasty. Calamari was in a delicious light batter, gammon was tasty. Pale ale hit the spot. Service was great.

A group of 14 had dinner here on a busy Saturday night. The service was excellent from not only the friendly bar staff but also the restaurant staff (i believe we were served by Hannah and Alex throughout). The food was a very good standard, although the calamari starter i had was a little bland, the steak main was fantastic. A very welcoming pub which i will go back to if this way again.

A last-minute change of location had myself & my 3 sisters booking lunch at The Castle and what a treat it was. The setting was beautiful with the roaring fire, stone flag flooring, Christmas decoration adoring the whole pub, for someone returning to England from Australia it was very special. Okay now for the food, it was outstandingly good, we settled for a 2-course lunch menu, a great variety of choices as 2 sisters are vegetarian. The food was tasty, presented well, good portion size and it's a place that I will return.

Castleton is one of my favourite places I vist regularly 2/3 times a year. I don't live far so this is only the second time I have stayed the night. I Previously stayed in the YHA. (I wish I did again!) As it was the Christmas/NYE period I wanted to stay somewhere I thought would be a little more comfortable/less basic/more uppermarket (I dont know what eles to discribe it as haha) & in a room we could enjoy if the weather was pretty bad. So I booked the castle which looked decent online. Positives about the castle was the great location very convinant for exploring Castleton & less than 5mins away from the main carpark. The staff we booked in with was polite & welcoming. The first negative was that we couldn't park at the hotel the small carpark was full long before check in and for the whole stay I think it would be a good idea to give your number plate or something eles & the parking only be for guests staying in the hotel but it wasn't a big deal we stayed in the castleton main carpark and just took the extra costs & got a little wet bringing our bags etc back and forth. The thing that was the main negative and ruined our trip was the room itself. We stayed in room 10 across from the pub not in the main building. It was a very large room compared to normal hotels so that was a positive. But sadly ended there it was a cold wet miserable day so after walking we wanted to relax in our room a couple of hours before going back out in the eve for food. Sadly there was no arm chairs or somewhere comfy to sit and relax which is usually standard in any room and this one was so big and empty of furniture so we couldn't both sit and have a coffee without being on the bed. When we tried to put on the TV it wouldn't work saying cables need plugging in? we tried to cast to it and many things instead but that also didn't work. The room was dirty and run down not relaxing at all! We paid £160 (no breakfast) for 2 people one night & feel it was very overpriced. There was cobwebs all over, the carpet had ugly looking stains the paint chipped & clearly there was damp problems. The bathroom had a huge corner bath which seemed inviting but the shower curtain was discusting there was just one bottle screwed to the wall for shampoo/conditioner/soap in one which had a thick layer of scum from all the other users. When we came back to the room at night the bed was clean and comfy & was looking forward to a good night's sleep ready for a busy day. Sadly however it took a long time to get to sleep as the roof was very creaky and loud from the guests upstairs and old floorboards we could also hear them talking and wasn't very sound proof at all. The worst part of everything is after a night's sleep in the morning we both woke feeling rough with dry throats and coughs. I have mine still and feel very ill now I am home I have allergies and I am convinced the damp room likely had mould spores which has triggered me and made me quite ill 🤒 I then looked on trip advisor at other people's stays and saw photos from a guest a couple of weeks before and the bathroom was covered in mould so I am likely right and they just covered it with a lick of paint? I couldn't be certain so don't take my word for it! But I would not stay here again regardless I feel ripped off with the price & upset we had this experience instead of a much needed relaxing trip we hoped for 😭💔

Visited for lunch on Christmas Day. It was a lovely experience. We were greeted warmly with a bucks fizz and handwritten Christmas card to the family. There was no particular wait for each course and the food was ample and tasty, particularly the snow ball cheese cake. Given the number of people that were dining there that day, the venue did an excellent and very professional job. We went home feeling relaxed and stress free!

Stayed at The Castle December 23rd as we were going to the Carols in the Cavern in Castleton which was a very enjoyable evening. Very nice room no.2 which was great size with good bathroom. We were there with two friends and we had an early evening meal in the restaurant which we all thoroughly enjoyed - good food and drink reasonably priced. Had breakfast the next morning- brilliant full English. Would definitely stay again.

The room was a reasonable price and was lovely. Really good bathroom facilities and a comfortable room. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly and made recommendations for our stay. The only negative would be the noise in the room. With it being on the front of the pub the road was very noisy and it did make it hard to sleep. Overall would recommend but if possible request a room at the back of the building.

Not as expected after visiting previously and reading good reviews. Our food was over cooked and took ages to arrive. The bar staff were good but when I complained about the food we were told that's how it always is, in fairness they did offer to do something else but we had already waiting 45 minutes so just ate it. The staff tried their best to rectify the poor food and we had one drink and one pudding instead of a refund but that's not the point, we just wanted a nice meal. Very disappointed with the experience.

We have visited the Castle for food and drinks on a few occasions, each time having a very nice meal. However on Saturday night the 26th Feb 2022 for my Birthday we had planned a small family meal, eventually the waitress came over to ask for our order with the exception of most of the menus as they had sold out. We had instead had below average pub grub, undercooked chips and very poorly presented burger and chips. Our starters came missing ingredients and they forgot to bring drinks which they blamed on a fill role problem, a bottle of Prosecco arrived and we were asked to leave it a while as it’s warm. I had a pint of a Ruby Porter which I love, but could drink it as it tasted awful. I really hope they start to get the place back into shape as we normally love it here. But right now it’s terrible, the service the food and the drink.

Polite service, seated with a menu and very prompt. Was ruined as my food wasn’t very hot then the table behind was seated with very wet dogs due to the weather. I had to move my coat from my chair as it wouldn’t have smelt very pleasant as one of the not so small dogs was walking back and forth near it. I think it’s great they welcome pets but when you haven’t got one it’s not nice to be seated next to somebody with 3. I wish I’d not ordered a sweet because the smell wasn’t very pleasant and ruined the meal.

Popped in without a reservation to escape the rain following a walk. The staff here were really welcoming and friendly. Dogs are welcome inside and we had a table for 2. We had fish and chips and a couple of drinks. Great service and well cooked food. Thank you very much

Thanks to Radina for the friendly table service and Conor (with one n !) and Josh for the evening entertainment.This was our first visit to Castleton and really enjoyed our visit.Paul & Nic

We loved the cosy atmosphere of the whole place. The rooms were very nice, comfortable beds, everything was perfect. Service from all the staff Lee, Josh, Tom and Connor were absolutely brilliant. we will definitely be booking again. Thank you very much.

We came here for our 10 years anniversary when we were exploring the Hope Valley area. Really lovely place and great service! Food was delicious and we'll priced! Only issue was even with the limited menu; both dishes my fiance picked weren't available which was a real shame. But we still has a lovely time and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice dinner!

Really enjoyed our stay at the Castle. The rooms were very nicely decorated and where we were - in the garden - it was quiet and secluded.The staff were friendly and helpful and the service in the restaurant was good. The menu was limited due to staff shortages but as there is so much Covid around at the moment I still think they did really well in the circumstances.I would definitely visit again.

My wife, mother-in-law and I called in here before going out for a pre-booked meal elsewhere. The wine selection was spot on, the beer was top notch and with a great choice and the atmosphere was warm, friendly and comfortable. The guys running the bar are cracking and are lovely to chat to. Times are tough at the minute, but you’re doing well - keep it up guys!

We called on a busy Saturday (5 couples with two dogs) for a table for lunch and drinks with no booking. They managed to find us a table and even though we had to wait eventually managed to get food as well. The food was delicious especially the gammon and beef with mash. They were obviously understaffed like many places at the moment but every member of staff had a smile and were genuinely welcoming. Loved the young guy behind the bar lots of personality. The bar and seating areas are well presented, also decorated for Christmas beautiful. We loved the mulled cider/wine. Would highly recommend for lunch/ drinks or to stay - a real gem with staff that are an asset to the place.

Fabulous 3 night stay here. Everyone is so lovely and friendly. Room was absolutely gorgeous we loved the decor. Also felt really fresh and clean. The location is perfect as it is central to everything. The pub has a warm, cosy ambience and roast dinners were lovely. Will definitely be back had a totally relaxing time.

Really impressed with the room and the service. Feels luxurious with a huge bed and corner bath. Large room in out-building opposite the main pub. nicely decorated in plush colours. New bathroom. Very clean. Small carpark but managed to get one of the last spaces.The restaurant was busy but we were squeezed in at 5.30 thankfully. The food was very nice and the service was good.

I have passed this place every time I have come here (this is my 4th) and never been in so my husband booked our sunday lunch, for after our speedwell cavern trip. It is lovely inside. Lots to look at. We both had the roast which was nice though I do agree with another review that red peppers seem odd on a roast dinner! Quite expensive for amount but I suppose its expected in a tourist area. The desert was nice too...Baked cheesecake and blackcurrants. The staff were very nice.

It shut down early July 2024 without warning. Recent management/staffing was very dubious.
