Castle Cove Inn — Hotel in North Cowichan

I think this is the place to come in summer. Literally, winter is cold and gloomy, and the nights are very scary. The facilities are all outdated and if you like vintage you will be happy here, but I couldn't get used to all the old stuff. Beds are old and carpets are old so slippers help. The towels are also old. It is also helpful to bring plenty of scissors, fruit cutters, rubber gloves and a ziplock bag. The kitchen was facing down the cold and frightening hillside, so I couldn't cook. We booked a week, but I escaped there in 4 days. Because it was very cold and sometimes the heater stopped or there was a strong wind, the wifi was cut off, and cold water came out when taking a shower, which was a problem. I hope someone comes here and has a better experience than me. The advantage there is the view right in...

Beautiful place on the beach. My friend and I had the cottage so we had a beautiful view of the ocean and castle. Loads of space to move about. Could use some updating linens and dusting, windows could be washed to enjoy the view better. Be mindful on the beach, as its littered with animal feces. No lighting outside at night, makes for a pretty view of the stars... but makes going out to your car a little bit spooky. It's a gorgeous place with a lot of potential. I'd like to see what's going on in the other rooms.

2022: stayed again, this time in the cellar suite. Nice to see lighting outside and some updating! Wish we could have used the hot tub. Sad to see all the construction up the road

Can't wait to see it how the home evolves tho. Will...

We actually didn't sleep very well as from Bookings.com description we thought Castle Cove Inn was an Inn with Private Accomodations.||||Description needs to be corrected||as it was a former Bed n Breakfast||We had the "Wine Cellar" which is really a rumpus room with a view.||||As there is a connecting door at top of stairs hidden only by a curtain between the Owners living area and the Rental Unit. This door cannot be locked from the rental side. The Rental Unit is not secure without it's own door at bottom of stairs. |||| The towels and bedding are poor quality, the furniture and bed are uncomfortable and the unit is not clean. We will not stay here again and would not recommend...
