About
The Castle Inn is on West Street in the middle of Castle Combe. It has 12 rooms and belongs to the Exclusive Collection, as part of the estate of the Manor House next door. Its own booking site offers a single Shoebox room, classic doubles and twins (some with a village view), a Signature room and four-poster rooms; breakfast is served in the conservatory.
The kitchen holds two AA Rosettes for a menu of classic British cooking with French and Spanish touches, from local, seasonal produce. Lunch runs from noon to 2.30pm and dinner from 6pm to 8.30pm Monday to Saturday, with light bites in between; on Sundays the roast is served from noon to 8pm. The bar has an open fire and a sunny patio, and opens daily from noon to 11pm.
A couple of rooms take dogs, for £20 a stay with a bed, blanket and bowl, and dogs are welcome in the public rooms. Only some rooms take children, so call to check; cots are free and z-beds for under-12s are £20 a night. Parking in the village is limited. The walk from Ford through Long Dean comes into the village along the By Brook.

By Brook
Sight · River · Castle Combe

Castle Combe bridge carries the village street over the By Brook at the bottom of the hill: three low skew arches rebuilt for the Scropes in the early nineteenth century, with grooves in its buttresses for the iron screens that kept livestock in. Grade II.
