The Inn is overall quite clean, pleasant, and with a great breakfast (if you like to eat at 830 or later). However, noise is an issue. It is very close to the freeway, and despite the very attractive grounds it is too noisy to spend much time outside (indeed, the inn has a small sign inviting guests to come inside where it is warmer and quieter). With the windows closed, the road noise is not an issue inside. However, in the Forest View room, there are other noises: the heater fan is quite loud and right by the bed, and it is controlled by a thermostat in the owner's quarters, so we couldn't turn it off (it got so warm that we had to open the door - 29 degrees outside - until the heater turned off at midnight; the owners did warn us about this). And before 6am the water in the pipes started and woke us up - very loud (maybe less so in other rooms?). A bit much for almost $200.

For my birthday we decided to sight see at the Empire Mine and visit the Draft Horse Classic. We wanted to round out the trip with a nice stay at a B&B. I searched online and the Red Castle Inn seemed a perfect fit. Our stay there was historic, peaceful and clean. The host, Conley was helpful and respected our privacy. The breakfast was wonderful. We were served, eggs ala julia child with sateed mushrooms, stuffed tomatos, two different freshly baked bread choices (cheddar biscuits and sourdough rolls), fresh strawberries San Fran style, fresh juice, fruit smoothies, tea and coffee. delicious. A red folder provided contains a great deal of the castles history. We have agreed that we must go back again and again till we have experienced each rooms individual charm. Thank you Mary lousie and Conley, you made my birthday a relaxing, memorable stay.

The innkeepers were extremely pleasant, interesting and accomodating, and the breakfasts were diverse and delicious. The attention to the care of our room each day was greatly apprciated.

The pictures just do not do these rooms justice. This was a lovely b&b. The owners are very friendly and very much respect your privacy....so don't expect too much chatting until around breakfast time. The breafast was fantastic and they did a wonderful job putting it together. The Inn is in a very convienent location and has alot of history behind it. The flowers are beautiful in the spring. You are close to the freeway but not so close that you hear it from in the inn.

When I was at the red castle, I noticed that the bed in the gold room I was staying in was smaller than the "queen" I have at home, so it was cramped. Also, the breakfast was absolutely nothing like the fancy chef prepared breakfast that was advertised on the website. The pictures here do not well represent the food either. I was very disappointed with this in particular because I had decided to stay here based on how fantastic their breakfast looked on the website. I was tricked by that. Otherwise, the inn is a very beautiful and well decorated place situated in a quiet place just next to town. I love the garden. Parking is a nightmare though, and I didn't like the lady of the house all that much. It is a very beautiful place, and I wish I had stayed for tea.

We stayed here the night of our wedding, and it was fabulous! It was the cutest setting and a wonderful meal. I've heard people say the rooms were cold, but on a honeymoon night we sure couldn't tell! The location is easy to access, yet had a very secluded feel.

Great experience--excellent food! Only issue was the room was very cold. Would advise to visit in warmer weather!

The Red Castle Inn was remarkable. The rooms are awesome. I was transported back in time. Will visit again.

I rarely give top marks (because I don't think people will believe me) but the Red Castle Inn was spectacular. It was like walking back in time as royalty. I've been to many cute B&B's before but this one really blew me away. There were so many details in the nooks and crannys but even more so was the feeling that I had when I walked in and realized I was in for a completely different experience. The breakfast was fit for a king. They even thought to use recipes from the 1800's. Just delightful! It was like theater (and you'll understand once you've been there.) By the way, I think they could charge a lot more (so you might want to go before they figure that out) and also, by the way, I am not related to them and don't know them either. I simply loved the place and that's why I'm taking the time to write this.

I've stayed at four different places locally and this stands head and shoulders above the rest. They have lovely grounds where you will want to sit and watch the Coi fish and drink their sun tea and evening snack-- also baked at the Red Castle. The setting is serene, the rooms lovely and comfortable--you'll feel transported 100 years back in time taking all the creature comforts with you. Breakfast included homemade Danish, popovers, Italian chicken served in a "nest" (in a pastry), polenta, bananas a l'orange, tea coffee juice. And it turns out that the proprietors were very warm and kind and gave us some great local tips. Can't wait to return.

The room was OK, but not very clean, there were cobwebs around the drapes and dust and dirt were visible around/under the bed. The service was non existent, no information offered on the area, no offer of the afternoon 'teatime', no way of contacting the innkeeper if you needed anything. Breakfast was very disappointing, set up in the hallway, buffet style, not much choice, only outside to eat at tables weather permitting or in your room. We wanted tea to drink and it wasn't available, with no offer to get any for the next morning. Would not recommend this inn to anyone.
