Staying at Appleby Castle was like stepping back in time. The stunning Clifford Room with its four-poster bed was a highlight, and the memorable dinner served in the grand dining room was truly special.

Charming decor and ambiance, but room was unserviced and keys were insecure.

would stay here again

Unique experience staying in a medieval castle. Our room had a private bathroom, comfy beds, and tons of period charm. We loved exploring the beautiful grounds and the games room was fun for the kids. Breakfast was tasty as well. Staff were super friendly and attentive, making everything easy and enjoyable.

the staff were super friendly and really knowledgeable about the castle, it was such a unique experience. we loved exploring the grounds and especially the keep, so much history! our room was comfy and the games room was a blast for the kids! breakfast was really tasty too, just an all around great stay.

the parking was limited and we had to park quite far from the entrance. also, some of the interiors felt a bit worn and could use a little sprucing up.

Family with kids will enjoy the adventure

The castle is everything you would expect from a historic building, including all its little idiosyncrasies, however that made it fun. The kids loved it, they called it 'Spooky Castle' and ran riot having fun with the hanging armor and giant portraits. It was a real adventure.

It wasn’t expensive, but still acceptable.

Staying at Appleby Castle was enchanting! The rich history captivated us, and the charming décor added to the experience. The dining was delightful. however, parking posed a challenge. a unique stay unlike any hotel.

We had such a blast exploring the castle and loved the games room, which kept our kids entertained for hours! The garden area was a lovely spot to relax with a good book after our busy day. The only downside was that the parking was a bit tricky to find at night, but overall, it was a fantastic experience! 😊

a delightful stay with beautiful grounds, perfect for walking lovers and families alike

Wonderful castle with charming atmosphere.

Staying in a historical castle was a dream! We enjoyed wandering the beautifully kept grounds and loved the charming public rooms, especially the grand main hall. The guided castle tour was a highlight, with knowledgeable guides who made history come alive. It was a unique experience to dine by candlelight, making it feel extra special.

Beautiful grounds and four-poster bed, but Wi-Fi was spotty.

historic charm with stunning views and easy access to attractions

The history of the castle was immersive and I loved the convenient walk to the lovely town and nearby appleby castle, which made my stay both enjoyable and memorable as I strolled through the picturesque grounds before exploring local cafes. while the room was charming, it could benefit from more electrical sockets for convenience.

The castle's rich history and charming decorations made my stay enchanting. I particularly admired the spacious rooms with beautiful furnishings, such as the four-poster bed, which added a touch of elegance to the experience.

Improved accessibility for seniors would be beneficial.

Ask for a room in the main castle rather than the cottages for a more authentic experience.

My stay in the Evidence 4-Poster Room was magical! The claw foot bathtub was amazing, and the brilliantly carved furniture added to the charm. Cabaret-style dining with other guests was an unexpected delight.
