"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."

"Wonderful facility. Staff is just great! Although an historic building, it is extremely well maintained. Our room and head were spotless. Breakfast by Martha was over the top. We had to make a change to our stay and both Kim and Amanda who handle bookings were so very helpful. We will be back! Noteworthy details: They have a floating dock with space available for guest boats."

"Our stay was exceptional. We were only there one night while traveling from Nags Head to Wilmington. The building has historic and eccentric charm. We walked to the nearby lighthouse and Springers Point. Breakfast was excellent. Noteworthy details: I recommend learning about Samuel Jones, the guy that built the place. You can also visit his gravesite at Springer's Point where he was buried next to his horse."

"This place was lovely! We have been coming to the island for the last 18 years and always rent a house for the week in the fall. My husband and myself wanted a little time away, without our grown daughters and dogs, so chose the Castle. Check in was flawless. Walked straight to our room, and everywhere else in the house, as I had looked at the floor plan on the website. Neat! Our room was in the front of the house on the first floor (Mary’s) and was very warm. It was better once we realized there was a vent under the bed covered up by the area rug! Also, the couple across the hall gave us a big fan that was in their room. So nice! The breakfast each morning was very good and the cook was a very nice lady. Having the bikes to grab and go was a nice touch as we normally rent them for the week. We didn’t get a golf cart since we were there only a few days, but there is dedicated parking for them. We would definitely stay here again!"

"The people who do not find this place at 5 stars are either unlucky or really critical. This place is what you expect a bed and breakfast to be. We stayed in the main building. It isn't a hotel. The rooms are all unique and the place is filled with antiques. The AC may not be the best but our room was plenty cool. The television didn't have a clear picture in our room but we weren't there to watch TV. There was a larger TV in the living area that had a roku if anyone had to see something. Breakfast at 8am was superb and Marta was kind and kept up with the crowd. Fresh baked fig cake was a treat one morning. There is now a code entry to the rooms as there is no staff there after a certain time of the day to handle check in. This worked seamlessly for us. We are aware that another couple had a little trouble getting into their room but it didn't take long for them to get in. Maybe they had the wrong number or didn't follow instruction. The place is a really big house and it feels like home. You can roam around as you like and enjoy the pictures and neat furniture. And the gardens and pool are beautiful. There's a view of the Marina. Ice machine off kitchen area with water. Don't miss out. This is a historic building and has a lot of character and history on Ocracoke. We stayed in Ginny's room. We picked it based on it's vicinity to the screen porch which we sat on quite frequently. It is one of the smaller rooms but still plenty of space."

"Amazing Place! A few tipstip: If you get "Patti's room" be prepared to be woken up by the guests who must have been up that early! . (the only negative thing; should have had a SIGN, please be aware, people sleeping on first floor). ALSO would have been great to have a person on-hand to answer any local questions; no one to greet any guests."

"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."
