Company Testimonials

"Beautiful place, lots of history. Lighthouse close by. Comfortable beds, very clean. Nice breakfast, but can’t really use when ferry leaves so early. We stayed during off-season. Wasn’t prepared for power outage on island. Could have used flashlights. No one on property for a couple days, we greeted guests and workers."

"Excellent, as advertised!"

"Great traditional place to stay with easy checkin and a great location. I wish we didn’t miss breakfast due to needing to catch the earliest ferry. Thanks for the hospitality. "

"We loved our stay at the Castle Bed and Breakfast. Breakfast was delicious each morning. Kim was wonderful! She was delightful to talk too and helped us on some places of interests on the island. Our ferry was cancelled Sunday morning and she was so hospitable. We will be returning and sharing this wonderful bed and breakfast with friends."

"WE enjoyed our time very much it was very quiet and the food was good. PLace needs a few updates but it was clean!"

"We visited during the off-season, but my wife and I had a great time. The house is beautiful, and the widow's walk is simply amazing."

"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."

"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."

"Is there another place to stay? I don't think so! We always stay here. "

"Marta is THE BEST! She really goes above and beyond to make you feel at home."

"Easy in, easy out. Nice place - highly recommended. "

"Wonderful. The manager did everything possible for us especially regarding our room being cold. He was charming and funny. "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at the Castle on Silver Lake. The rooms and breakfasts were very good. The views from the room were wonderful."

"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! Rooms: If you're hesitant due to the age of the hotel, don't be. Everything is kept extremely well. The room was large and clean. Even the bathroom was spotless. I felt right at home cozying up in the sheets and enjoying the view. Food & drinks: Complimentary breakfast was prepared fresh in the kitchen, and was great. Noteworthy details: The ammenties included make this place feel like a bargain. Waterfront raised patio to enjoy drinks or food, free bike rentals, a heated pool, and pool house with sauna and massage lounges."
