"How can a place named The Castle on Silver Lake not be magical? The setting overlooking Silver Lake Harbor and the architecture with its intricate woodworking throughout the interior was enough to entice us to come more than 20 years ago. However, it’s the folks that run it and the other guests, like us, that keep us returning. Celebrating our 50th anniversary was a milestone and The Castle was the perfect setting. Martha and her delicious breakfasts, always served with a beautiful smile, made our stay even better. Making new friends at the breakfast table is something you can’t do at a hotel. This was our 4th stay - and always in the Lighthouse Suite. While the Castle is showing some wear, it’s still comfortable and homey. Whether you want to stay a night on Ocracoke or a full week like we do, you won’t be disappointed with the magic of The Castle. "

"Lovely stay! Room was clean and cozy!"

"We had a wonderful time at the Castle on Ocracoke island."

"Warner made this stay fantastic. The breakfast crew was wonderful as well. Just an incredible week. Thanks!! JPW "

"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."

"Warner was so kind and willing to help. Breakfasts were delicious. Room was so comfortable with delightful ambiance and tasteful furnishings. "

"Great location, really nice breakfast, multiple nice touches - snacks, coffee, water available 24/7. Ample parking. Quiet. Comfortable common spaces. Enjoyed using the pool, pool table and bicycles. "

"Such a cool building with so many perks! This is our new favorite spot in Ocracoke!"

"Pleasant accommodation, relatively clean. convenient to the small island of Ocracoke. Breakfast was good, coffee bar could definitely use a modern upgrade in that most people like higher quality, coffee ingredients and those who enjoy generally would prefer real half-and-half or cream for their coffee. Yes, you can say I’m a coffee snob. The pool and pool area were clean and lovely. Unfortunately, during a severe heat wave, they left the pool heater on in error. For peaks it’s a good value. Check-in is exceptionally easy. Loved all of the seating areas within screened porches. The only staff we met was kind and courteous."

"Still mostly like this place but the breakfast wasn’t as good as last year and pool towels were not kept stocked."

"Love staying with the castle but this year other guests were very loud. A couple instances we were awakened as late as midnight and as early as 4AM buy other guests."

"The Castle had everything we could have needed and was the perfect place to getaway! We loved every second we spent there, and the entire experience was beautiful. On top of that, the breakfast was AMAZING every morning and we truly felt so spoiled! "

"We loved our stay at The Castle and we will be returning again! Our time there was perfect in every way that mattered to us. The highlights of our stay was our interaction with the innkeeper, Warner (he is a true gem) along with your talented breakfast cook. The only suggestion for a change would be to add a couple of comfortable chairs to relax and read in on rainy days. "
