Graham Coombs left this review about The Castle Inn

Almost a gem but perhaps a bit overdone on the tourist front. It appears to extend across two old buildings so the internal layout is a bit jumbled. It is all old woodwork totally covered in breweriana and similar tut, so has considerable atmosphere and a great pub feel. It was rather overcrowded on this visit, with a party group having occupied the main room and rain rendering the large front terrace unusable, but still felt friendly and well-run. The five ales on were Theakston's Best and OP, TT Landlord & Blonde and Ossett White Rat.

I only "discovered" this pub a year or so ago, because whenever I passed there were always mounds of tourists scoffing food on the benches in front, which is a bit off-putting if you fancy a quiet beer. In the evening it's different, and is one of the most pleasant pubs I know. That's not to say it's also a world beater in the beer stakes. Three Theakston beers and Landlord are fine, but not exactly earth shattering, but my Old Peculier (NBSS 3.5) was £5.50, so I'll probably keep on calling in when in town.

Good looking pub both outside and inside. Several areas inside, although it's pretty much one room with partitions. Al is right, it does feel a bit cramped and it wasn't that busy during our visit. I had a pint of Landlord and Ms CAMRA had a half of Olde English. That will be Eight Pounds said the barperson!! We queried this as all our previous ronds had been around £6 - £6.50. £5.25 for the Landlord, £2.75 for a half of cider. Theft!! Even the Woolly Sheep only charges around £4.60 for Landlord. There's a pub in Skipton called The Fleece, but this is where the fleecing occurs.
