Hotel Information

Hilden Lodge was originally named Castleton Villa and was allegedly built as the lodge for Castleton House at the end of Hearne Road. The original building was constructed in the early 1800s and retains a number of original features including cornicing and plaster coving. The Lodge became a guest house around 30 years ago and was then extended in the early 1980s.
