Hi there sorry for the delay responding. The closest hotels off the top of my head are as follows...The whipper-Inn is just on the market place 2 minutes walk from the castle and the Mill Street Bar and Kitchen on Mill Street is about 4 minutes walk. The Admiral Hornblower is about 6 minutes walk as is Wisteria. There are more but these are probably closest. Hope that helps
