Rest and recuperation

We needed somewhere to stay after finishing some medical treatment and Augill Castle was perfect for us. The service was personal and thoughtful and the food was delicious. The weather was good too, which helped, but is probably less predictable!

Alice in Wonderland vibes

Step inside Augill Castle and just let yourself enter an almost Alice in Wonderland world. Feel like a Tudor king having a toilet break on an old fashioned wooden loo. Spot the old fashioned record player in the bathroom. Have breakfast with perfectly mismatched crockery. Be encouraged to explore on your own rather than have a formal tour. Scare yourself to death by opening a door in your bedroom to find a single chair in a freezing turret. Staff were fun. We enjoyed sitting in the lounge for 6 hours doing a puzzle with a glass of wine. To top it off for us we got a spectacular Northern Lights display over the castle on our last night. Don’t expect a “5* resort” but definitely enjoy a 5* experience.

The property is decorated in a quirky manner - mainly antiques, but some modern pieces. It feels more like a relaxed home environment than a hotel. Breakfast and dinner was good quality, but dinner is not available on Mondays or Tuesdays.

Lovely castle experience

We had the most wonderful experience at Augill Castle. The room and property perfectly fit what I was looking for - a very castle-like room without too much modern but enough modern to be comfortable. The food was outstanding and staff friendly, helpful and accommodating. I totally recommend Augill!

Break away

We had a lovely time away beautiful place but a few little issues and not what we expected for 4 star. The staff were very friendly and helpful and because of this we didn't let the little things spoil our stay

Such a wonderful property with so much character. You really are staying in an old castle. The entrance hall and reception rooms all reflect some of the history of the place. The staff, food and service were all wonderful. Even a present from Santa for the boys. An excellent stop off on the A66 to break our journey and we’ll definitely come back!

Your own private castle.

This is an amazing venue away from the hustle and bustle and set in beautiful countryside. The rooms are superb and the little quirky aspects like to self serve bar and private cinema make it lots of fun.

Castle retreat.

A perfect night away with friendly staff & everything you would expect from staying in a castle. The evening meal that was served was excellent & good value for money. If your looking to stay somewhere different in a picturesque part of Cumbria then look no further.

Like staying in a home from home.

Overall we loved staying at Augill Castle. Fabulous food, excellent location, great ambience. In fact, the only minor niggle in our accommodation (The Gatehouse), was there was no sink available downstairs, so whenever we wanted to fill the kettle, or wash the pots, we had to go upstairs to the bathroom. I know not all the rooms are the same, so perhaps only applies to the room we were in, and maybe I am being a bit lazy too.

The Castle has kwerkyness about it, which is delightful.The period furniture is not overstated and works well. Our room had a 4 poster bed, which went well with the rest of the furniture. Having been in many hotels world wide I would say that this one is up there in the top 3/4.

Very quiet, great for a romantic getaway from the city. Close enough to drive or walk to nearby pubs and restaurants.
