Castle Hotel

We stayed at ratho farm and decided to eat at the pub which we are so glad we did. 4 of us had 2 meals over multiple day's and the food was amazing along with the service by all staff.

Typical pub meal nothing to rave about good to fill the hole in the stomach, nice friendly staff

9 people for lunch staff was great the food fantastic you will not go away hungry. We will be back again.
Thank you all.

Stopped for one beer after driving Deloraine - Bothwell
Very quiet pub, lots of mounted trout as decoration.

Wednesday night was pizza night.
Ended up eating outside bit squishy eating inside. Spoke to the local cockies outside had some interesting local information

Very friendly staff & awesome service for a nice quaint pub.
Food was faultless.
Prices was very reasonable.

What a great place
Went there for New years lunch
The staff couldn't have been more helpful
The chef interacted with us after we told him how good the meal was he then proceeded to let us know how he sourced the produce very informative
We'll be going back

Dropped in for dinner and a drink, turned out it was pizza night (Wednesday), amazing pizzas. Proper country pub, with honest food like grandma used to make and amazing service from some incredible, friendly people. This is the perfect country pub. Well worth a visit and a pint. Thanks folks, next time we're in Tassie will go out of our way to drop by.

Whole family stopped here for a pub lunch. The meals were delicious, huge and well priced:) The staff were very lovely and welcoming! The fire was roaring, heaps of character, and an overall great atmosphere. Will be stopping here again when we pass through next

Due to roadworks on the Midlands Highway and being a former Coach Driver, we decided to take the slightly longer but more Scenic alternative route back from our weeke d at the Tulips with my visiting Sister in Law.
We walked in at about 16: 30 - 16: 45 to be greeted by a 'so, what do you want? '
There were a bunch of young bikers, walkers obviously enjoying the bar and seems we were an interruption.
Basically told, kitchen is closed, it is a Sunday of the Public Holiday and hinted to use the the loo and go.
Was very embarrassing and luckily not a group of people.
Sign outside said open but wasn't going to argue the point as people like that.well.
Castle, Hmm seems the drawbridge was up.
Will go onto Derwent Bridge or Miena in future.

Most of the reviews on here refer to the food, which unfortunately we never had. We booked to stay three nights, arrived at 2pm to book in, as most hotels check in is after 2. We were told before booking in, "The kitchens closed, if you want a meal tonight make it before 5.45, and the hotels closed tomorrow s its a public holiday so no food. We asked about where to get food, she did not know, but we discovered a takeaway at the servo next door, so in fact she did know. The room was something from Fawlty towers, the ensuite had a packet door when closed would not open, the complimentary cereal packets were out of date. We were told we would be given two slices each of bread, which arrived, two slices cling film wrapped. The TV was something from the 70's and set top box. The mattress was good from the back, no movement at all. Needless to say we only stayed one night. As it only 1 hour from Hobart we booked into a 5 star hotel for only $35 per night more. My honest advice, maybe get a feed here (can't recommend as we never had any) and then stay somewhere else, unless you like to shoot deer as facebook page shows.

We visited this hotel for lunch on the way to Davenport from Hobart. We enjoyed the bar food. We ordered Fish and Chips, Burger and Pizza. They were really yummy. Bothwell is a historical place in the middle of Tasmania. This place is in the small city. Friendly staff and accomodated our request for dine in eventhough we were late for lunch. There is parking available. Dine in and Dine out optins also available.

Dropped in for lunch and although we were late for the lunch service the staff were very obliging and served us up a delicious meal. If you’re in Bothwell do yourself a favour and drop into the castle hotel. The chef takes great pride in the food.

Stopped for lunch. A lovely cosy old pub built in 1829. Food was delicious. Very well priced to.

Stopped and had a meal for lunch going past and hands down one of the worst I've had in a long time.

It's a true, small town country pub!
So it definitely had -
1. Very generous portions in each meal. (Steak sandwich so good, I had two. Lamb shanks in great gravy you will lick the plate. Battered fish like the good old days)
2. An adequate selection of beers (but you're not there for posh beer choices, really)
3. Friendly staff.
4. Photos of the Hotel going back to 1860! How COOL! But it's older than that.
5. A small quirky public bar filled with odds & ends (football trophies, stuffed Fox wearing sunglasses, old newspapers etc)

These are the establishments we MUST preserve. We must continue to frequent.

Can't go wrong. Amazing food, great service and spot on atmosphere. Worth a visit on the way through or to exclusively go there. Porterhouse steak is amazing

Yes lovely town. Stopped into the Castle Hotel for lunch. Friendly staff 6 of us had delicious meals.

Thanks for the beaut pub lunch and friendly service. Special thanks for letting my son keep the little toy car.

Unfortunately very run down, & cold inside, with the front door chocked open. Cigarette smoke wafting inside. Not a good experience
