  • "We had a fantastic weekend at Watermouth Castle!"

    The apartment was as lovely as it looks in the listing, we were all comfortable and slept well. We were lucky with the weather and had super walks along the coast paths and in the castle grounds. We loved it being out of season too, lovely and quiet. Thanks for making such a brilliant place for a fabulous break.
