"We had a wonderful, relaxing anniversary weekend at the castle! - "

"One of the best places to stay! - Cozy and comfortable… absolutely beautiful interior and exterior! Wonderful breakfast! Easy to walk to a restaurant and other shops. Plenty of lounge chairs by the pool. Love the sauna. Beautiful area. Plenty of parking. Friendly staffs and host. Wishing we could stay longer! Will definitely be back! Needed more outlets to plug to charge our cellphones and my husband’s battery for his cochlear device. Everything else was great in the room."

"The staff was fantastic. The breakfast was outstanding. Very nice location within easy walking distance to other shops . The inn is very charming. We will definitely stay here again."

"Nice getaway - Nice room Parking was difficult"

"We will be back - The breakfast buffet and the friendliness of the staff."

"Exceptional - "

"Charm, warmth and history! - Very historic and full of character I am used to a King size bed and a larger TV screen - but minor complaints when you experience going back in time to a historic place!"

"Exceptional - "

"Excellent service which exceeded our expectations. - We had to check out early to catch the ferry, and they put cereal, milk, and snacks in our room, plus provided toasted bagels and cream cheese for us to take with us on the ferry. That we didn’t have time to spend another night!"

"Great place - It’s an old historic building completely paneled in pine, very cool, right downtown, breakfast was great"

"Exceptional - "

"Very Good - The castle was clean, the breakfast was awesome, great location, The staff were friendly and awesome. My dislike would be the tv is to small, the bed wasn’t bad but could use some upgrade."

"We very much enjoyed our stay there and will return. - Breakfast was great with friendly people. The widow's walk was great for sunsets. The antiques and wood lined rooms are charming. The bed was very comfy and the bath was large. Photos and history of The Castle's original builder/owner was posted and considerably added to the enjoyment! Sometimes, we heard other voices..."

"Pleasant - "

"Mid February visit and couldnt have been more pleased. The Island itself is quite dead at this time of year, but the room was very affordable, and the breakfast was great. Certainly can walk around and explore the island in solitude."

"Positive: Historical significance; staff; character of the hotel; the morining breakfast, absolutely delicious in every way.... Negative: nothing, we will visit again"

"Very Good - Off season travelers enjoyed our stay , understanding the absence of staff. Had difficulty finding Billy's room because we thought the living quarters in back might be Billy's room.. Maps up front were puzzling. Large complex that we were un familiar with. Then we went inside office-porch and studied maps more carefully."

"Was a wonderful bucket list overnight, in the literal definition of a sleepy island town. - Breakfast was terrific, saved us $20-$30 and included with the room. Wood throughout the Structure, old and beautiful! A little warmer in the room , but not bad, as it is February. Not much to do on the island, so be ready to relax."

"This place is amazing. Full of antiques and historical pieces. The castle is clean and cozy with many comfy places inside and out to relax. Amenities are incredible and the breakfast was so delicious in a gorgeous dining room! Best place to stay on ocracoke island for a quiet or romantic getaway with beautiful views of the water. Highly recommend."

"This unique, listed hotel is a delight. Managed by an Oxford University graduate, it features 3 floors of unique rooms. The hotel includes a very generous breakfast of eggs, bacon, croissants, and coffee to guests. We loved it."

"Exceptional - "

"Absolutely amazing stay. My only critique is they are fairly strict about bookings and checkout times without much room for flexibility (understandable.) But that's it. Me and my girl had an amazing time. We stayed in Janes room in the castle for me and my partners anniversary and are already talking about coming back to visit again. The castle has so much character and charm, while also being immaculately upkept and cleaned. The gentleman who greeted me had amazing energy and gave me a grand tour as well as information about all of the amenities including the pool, and the free bike rentals for offer to guest, as well as the best complimentary breakfast I've ever had. Best stay I've had in the outer banks from someone who has stayed at nearly every town from Ocracoke to Duck. My recommendation is wake up early, enjoy your breakfast out on the raised water dock out front which is open to guest, and use the bikes to explore the island!"

"Exceptional - "

"Wonderful - Attention to detail from engaging host. Comfortable room, good breakfast, close to good restaurants, and the center of the town. Nothing really."

"Exceptional - "

"Very enjoyable, relaxing and met all expectations for my stay. Cozy, affordable, and great location - Breakfast was wonderful! Variety and healthy choices. Need better directions on TV in Billy’s Room #4. I saw where several guests made note of that and still a problem."

"We stayed in the multilevel, unique Lighthouse Room which includes cupola and widow's walk. Great view of Lighthouse and Silver Lake. Easy walk to Springer Point, Lighthouse, Community Square, tram stop"

"Comfortable and clean - How quiet it was How old it was"

"The Castle charms you with its history, views, and class. - Comfortable charming room with beautiful view of the harbor. I enjoyed reading about the history of The Castle. I also loved climbing the stairs to take in the view of the lighthouse/ocean. The staff made me feel welcomed. Nothing really."

"Exceptional - "

"A home away from home! - Everything was absolutely perfect. The aesthetic, decor, breakfast and room were wonderful and the room was clean!"

"Wonderful - No temp control in the room."

"Exceptional - "

"We had a wonderful time! We will definitely be back! - The breakfast was wonderful! It was nice not to have to get out & find something. Did not like the tub/shower (Katie’s room)It is a little dangerous for older people. It definitely needs a handrail to hold while getting in."

"Everything we expected and fun breakfast visiting with other guests. - Perfect location Shuttle from airport"

"Exceptional - Wonderful location!! Our room was super comfortable and clean. We were able to control the temperature easily (even freezing ourselves out at times) and we had a great view of the harbor. All the decks and little cozy spots throughout the castle make it feel like home. The hospitality was great and all the extra touches really show. Not a thing!"

"Really special. I want to return and longer. - Fantastic breakfast, more than expected amenities and just lovely. I really had to think about that so apparently nothing!!"

"Exceptional - "

"Quiet stay in well maintained, historic house. - Excellent breakfast! Location was walkable to some shopping and restaurants. Breakfast beginning at 8:00 is a little late for those wanting to get an early start or for those wanting to catch a ferry. Maybe 7:30 would be a little better. Some items are grab and go. Cooked foods could come a bit later. Overall, excellent breakfast!"

"My first bed and breakfast trip and now I’m obsessed. - The location was fabulous. The property felt safe and inviting. It was like a cross of a night in a museum and visiting a rich friend in a home I would never be able to afford. The breakfast was great. Perfectly cooked bacon and eggs. The staff was also incredibly sweet. We were beat out of the bike opportunity even at 5am. Not really sure how that happened. I feel like a longer stay would’ve had more chances."

"I highly recommend mid-April and The Castle! - Wonderful breakfast with a delightful preparer who was eager to please and do anything she could to make us comfortable and happy. Our room was near the kitchen, but it was very quiet before we arrived at the dining room. We would gladly return there. I have been to Ocracoke several times. I highly recommend mid-April and The Castle!"

"Wonderful - Had to leave before breakfast. Should be served earlier. Beautiful place though. Had a blast. Bed a little hard."

""

"Overall just a great place to stay nice experience "

"The only complaint is that we booked through expedia. We showed up to find the staff decided to leave before the times listed on their site. We had no key, no way to check in and no one would answer either phones. Finally after about an hour and having to leave to catch the last ferry so we weren't stranded on the island with no where to stay, we got a call back. They said they did not book through third party sites and we had difficulty sorting it out. It ended with them telling us where we could access a key to a room, who knows if it's the one we paid for or not. The property listed a sauna, pool, etc. Although we weren't given any information on the amenities or where to find them or if they were even open. The property was clean, the bed in our room was broken and slanted down, we had to fix it to be able to use it. We were told someone would meet us the next morning, no one ever came. Property was beautiful. Staff needs some work. Breakfast was great and the lady who cooked was very sweet. Be sure to book through the actual company instead of through a third party to avoid the mess we went through!"

"It was great! We were supposed to stay two days and had an emergency at home so couldn’t stay the second day. We really liked the room and the hotel and plan to stay there the next time we come. Thanks do much! "

"Great place! Beautiful and if you stay in the main house breakfast is fantastic! Definitely would recommend!"

"Lovely. Great location on Ocracoke. Lots of wood inside, felt like a vacation place."

"our stay was real nice room was great but the tv had a blue line that was annoying and it could have been larger."

"Amazing stay in an idyllic location! We truly enjoyed the excellent food and amenities of this beautiful B&B!"

"We found the Castle B&B on Silver Lake Harbor to be enchanting. The location was perfect for walking to dining and shops. The view of Silver Lake Harbor was beautiful. The Castle has character and the hosts were very accommodating. I highly recommend the Castle for anyone looking for the B&B experience on Ocracoke!"

"This property was VERY clean and our room was larger than what i originally thought from the photos on their website. We had a very relaxing weekend here. "

"The property is very interesting with its wooden walls and ceilings. We were given a very lovely room overlooking the waterfront. We felt right at home. The staff were very friendly! The view is lovely! The only negative thing is not the fault of the property. Because we went during the off season in February, there was only one restaurant open on the island. We would definitely return during the season."

"Very cool old place with a great breakfast"

"Unique B&B in a unique destination. Very charming. Good breakfast."

"Perfect quick trip away - Location of the B&B is perfect, walking distance to the Village and restaurants. Perfect pool in the back and wonderful top deck to have a cocktails late in the day. We sat on one of the back decks and where awed by the stars in the sky, take time to look up!"

"Treated like Royalty at The Castle - We had a wonderful overnight stay at The Castle. Although things were still a little crazy with Covid our Host were excellent! They made our stay one we will always remember. This was our first time staying in a B&B but will again for sure. "

"Stupenda esperienza - Un posto incantevole per un weekend di relax assoluto! Bellissima posizione , camera spaziosa e confortevole. Finestre ovunque anche in bagno."

""

"Quaint BnB - Excellent location. Beautiful Bed and Breakfast. Great shower. Bed was ok. Nice people running it. Quiet. Very good breakfast. Very small TV, but really, do you need a large TV while on vacation?"

"Excellent!"

"An historic property, recently renovated, with competent, professional and courteous staff. Breakfast is 'one of a kind'. "

""

"Outstanding in all aspects beautifully maintained, friendly staff, excellent breakfast. I can't say enough about how wonderful of an experience this was"

"The room was lovely and clean with a good view of Silver Lake. Staff was always pleasant and willing to give recommendations. They provide a variety of flavors for breakfast. We will be back."

"Very quaint. Room was super super clean. Beautiful wood floors and very historic feel."

"Omg it was amazing and the home coooked Breakfast was fantastic!!!"

"Charming B and B. - Great location and charming building. Wonderful full breakfast and good services. Main part of town within walking distance. Pool and bikes lent for free. Ferry service on the way over was messed up because of hurricane but after town days our commute back through Hatteras was very smooth. Great place for a get-away with beautiful public beach a couple miles awy."

""

"Thank you for wonderful vacation. Great breakfast and friendly service."

"A Great Escape - Relaxing atmosphere. Friendly innkeeper and staff. Comfortable, clean, and pleasantly quaint. Within walking distance of good restaurants and the Ocracoke light house. Situated on the harbor, we sat out and enjoyed the sunset. Clean pool. Excellent and friendly breakfast cook. Easy parking. Ocracoke is like another world, and this is the perfect place to enjoy it."

"nicest staff ever! very pleasant stay definitely a return stay if in Okracoke."

"Very quaint. Great staff. Wonderful breakfast. The weather not so good but the experiance was great just the same."

"Such a secret gem to which we will return that we nearly didn't provide a review but that would have been unfair to a special place! Great hospitality from caring staff."

"Weekend Getaway - Stayed two nights in March, great place for romance. I have traveled a lot, this was my first time at a B&B. Amazing homemade breakfast, midnight snacks available, and refrigerator in the rooms. There are bikes for use, pool, the spa is walking distance, pool table, games, books, and view near rooftop, and walking distance to all of the restaurants. Unfortunately, we went when almost every place was closed due to the season. We enjoyed our time."

"Great place to stay! - It was our first B&B, so we didn't know what to expect. The Castle is a Beautiful older house overlooking the bay. We enjoyed widows walk (roof deck) where you can sunbath or watch the sunset next to the lighthouse. We also watched the rise of the Super moon from there. Our room was comfortable and quiet and we had full use of the entire house comon spaces 24/7. The staff want out of their way to make us feel at home. Breakfast was great!!"

"Probably about the nicest B&B experience I had. - Clean quiet very comfortable experience. Just stayed for one night but wish I could have stayed longer."

""The Castle B&B" - Enjoyed sitting around the dining room at breakfast listening to all of the stories being told by the other guests. Some were about their travels around the world, some were about their time(s) on Ocracoke Island, but all were wonderful images of life. I espceialy enjoyed the close proximity to Silver Lake, with the amazing views of the lighthouse and extremely colorful sunsets.The "Castle" has a viewing area on the top of the B&B, where you can sit and enjoy fresh breezes and sights and sounds of the Silver Lake area. You can walk to the wharf area, where there are many resturants, art galleries,and places to shop. The Castle is seeped in history, as it was one of the oldest structures to be built on Ocracoke. The decor is wonderful, antiques every where, and just comfortable in every way possible. And there are several rooms (and porches) where you can go to read or be alone in silence. I took my coffee with me and just for a few minutes enjoyed the solitude and comfort of the sounds coming from the bay. "Ronnie Ciccone - Innkeeper" is accomodating, friendly, insured that I knew where everything was located within the B&B, gave me a tour of the B&B when I arrived, and just was nice to talk to (and ask lots of questions about the area). As you can tell, I enjoyed the place very much and plan on coming back."

"Excellent B&B. Private rooms with bath - This is a very large rambling house with lots of quirky nooks, hallways, decks and 4 or 5 different floors. Rooms are real wood panels, beautiful antiques and paintings. Great place to stay and relax. "

"Room was very small but had everything we needed. We had to catch the early ferry in the morning, so we missed the BIG breakfast. But the nice cook, wrapped up some bacon for us to take!"
