We stayed at Castle on Silver Lake during our first visit to Ocracoke. Couldn't have asked for a better location or a more friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent and completely homemade (no Sams Club style pastries served here!). We stayed in the Lighthouse Suite. It's the top level with spectacular views of the water and the village. Room was oddly... More

This was our second visit to the beautiful island of Ocracoke and second time staying at a bed and breakfast as our lodging accommodations since it was only a weekend visit again. The house staff was friendly upon check-in and gave us a mini tour before showing us our room. Our room was Jane's Room which had plenty of windows... More

I stayed at the Castle for two nights. All was well other than a few slight setbacks. The steam room was real small and did not seem to work correct, but the sauna worked awsome and was quite large. The tv in our room crackled from time to time, not sure why, but we did not go to watch tv.... More

Over the past two decades of visiting Ocracoke, we have, and will, only stay here! We absolutely love our visits to the Castle! We prefer the charm of B&B's when traveling to relax and the Castle is one of our FAVORITES!! Lovely historic Inn, but updated with all the conveniences. The location is right across the street from Silver Lake,... More

When making the reservation for the “Lighthouse Suite,” we considered it a splurge but when we arrived, it was really an excellent value. The extent of the space exceeded our expectations based on website photos. Because our primary objective for the trip was relaxation, reading, sipping some wine and hibernating in case of inclement weather, the sitting room complete with... More

We recently stayed at this B&B. What a treat. It is on the harbor (lake) and has a wonderful deck across the street from the inn, just above a fishing shack, with Adirondack chairs for watching the boats, the sky and catching some sunshine. This is an old-fashioned kind of place. It is casual, sort of New England-style-- not fancy... More

We rented The Castle for our wedding and my husband and I stayed the week in The Net House, one of their villas. It was the most beautiful wedding location! Many of our guests stayed in the B&B and had a great experience, the staff was very friendly and accommodating and the breakfast was very good too! More

You should sersiously consider staying at the Castle if you're spending time on Ocracoke. It's location is awesome - just close enough to everything but without being on the main drag. The people were truly incredible! Misty gave us a tour of the house and grounds on the way to our room and thoroughly explained how things worked. We didn't... More

Very nice large clean room with small kitchen area. Great location for walking around the harbor. Pool was great in the very warm weather. A secret area that no one else seemed to use the the deck on the water, great for enjoying the view of the water and drinking a beer. They also provide free bikes. More
