Star Castle Hotel

A fantastic elevated position o er looking the bay with exceptional sea views. Amazing history as an actual castle. The staff were all extremely helpful and welcoming. The food was excellent,especially the fish. Classy service and presentation. Rooms were large,very comfortable and clean. A great place to explore the other islands by taking short boat trips from the nearby harbour.

Food was great, staff very accommodating and room very comfortable. All in all an extremely enjoyable holiday.

Everything was perfect, except the steps inside the castle, I have difficulty walking so steps are bad news. The breakfast was very good with as much as you could possibly want, both cooked, cereal, pastries etc. We booked into the castle dining room every night, the food was superb! We have dined several times at Gordon Ramsay’s and other high-end restaurants and hotels in London and I can assure you that the chef at the Star Castle is equal to and in my opinion better than any celebrity chef we have yet found. The set menu is fantastic value, superbly presented and a tour de force of the culinary art, go nowhere else to dine! We had a garden room with balcony and sea view, it was spacious, clean, quiet and warm, perfect really. All the staff are welcoming and friendly with nothing being too much for them no matter what you ask for. This was our 3rd visit to the Star Castle although the previous ones were about 25 years ago, it did not disappoint!

My knees did not like the climb from Hugh Town up the hill to the Castle, but thats my problem!

Friendly helpful staff.

Food was great , but maybe the Dinning room could be more relaxed .

Location was Superb! Right up on the Hill, view from the Castle was fantastic.

First day, I found spiders and cobwebs beside the bed and dead spider at the corner of the window. I called the attention of the duty manager but was not too bothered about the issue. She said, it is only a spider. Eventually she came and removed the cobwebs and spiders. Bedding was cleaned and changed everyday. Food was delicious. Five star!👌

Lovely staff and wonderful food

But disappointed that it wasn’t made clear that our room was outside in garden and not in castle although it had nice views Room a bit small

Breakfast was full English. Dinner was superb MasterChef quality and portions just right. Room was exciting. I've never been in a room before on battlements!

The path from the room to the dining room/main building was poorly lit and uneven (outdooors). I was glad I took a torch, though the reception offered to provide one.
