Guest Reviews

• john (8/5): -
• Thomas (7/5): -
• Emma (9/5): Beautiful stay - Just gorgeous - location was secluded and peaceful, the castle itself was beautiful, the room was absolutely amazing. Lovely breakfast. Loved the different rooms where you could sit and relax next to log burning stoves. Nothing. We loved it all!
• Reshma (8/5): -
• Dawn (8/5): Perfect bedroom with the most comfortable bed Ive ever slept in! - Very clean and comfortable. Loved the quirky details. Relaxed homely environment. Dining room didn’t have the same vibe as the rest of the hotel. Beautiful ceiling but the tables and chairs etc felt more ‘bistro’ than castle.
• Richard (10/5): A wonderful castle stay! - Augill Castle is a very special place - we celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary there and it was perfect!. The ambience, the staff, all the quirky artifacts in the castle, it was like staying in someones home. I would highly recommend staying here, you will not be disappointed and we hope to return! Thank you Augill Castle it was magical!
• Andrew (9/5): Superb - A great place to meet up with the family. Very well looked after and we couldn't have asked for more help and flexibility as our plans changed. Augill castle hotel highlights it's perfectly imperfect design and it nails it. It's comfortable, casual and welcoming making you feel at home straight away. Would stay again and explore the countryside.
• Andrew (9/5): Superb -
• Amanda (10/5): - The property was stunning the owner and staff were friendly and helpful close to were i was going highly recommend going here
• James (10/5): Exceptional -
• Malcolm (9/5): Very relaxing and pleasurable stay in a Superb old building with great surroundings and nice staff - Castle itself Very interesting and authentic .Very tranquil surroundings ,Accomodation very nice ,staff friendly and helpful. Not great TV signal .
• Heather (10/5): 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!
• Neil (8/5): - Fantastic stay in a great location
• Marc (10/5): Exceptional - The place is amazing such a beautiful place to stay staff were amazing can’t wait to go back
• Ruth (10/5): Fantastic break in a truly special place - The property was so unusual and comfortable but had kept original features Perfect
• Terrisa (9/5): Superb - The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent! It was an easy drive to many attractions, including Bowes Museum. I would highly recommend going there. The weather wasn't always the best.
• Brian (9/5): Beautiful place, would definitely return, wish we had stayed more nights! - Staff excellent. Bedroom, lounge, sitting, and other rooms were so well furnished in a period style. We loved it. The dining menu was terrific, set menu of 4-5 options for each course, but plenty to satisfy us. Food was great. Prefer a queen bed rather than double, but maybe that was an option we didn’t chose?
• Mark (10/5): Awesome stay in an authentic castle - everything. fantastic room. best bed and doona we have had in the last 6 weeks of travelling. and a shower that works well and is easy to operate. staff are fantastic and breakfast is good, but afternoon tea is awesome.😎 4 post bed in the Pendragon room was good also. my wife had the best sleep so far on this trip. Jude was extremely helpful. nothing
• Ruby (10/5): 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.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 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.
• Beverley (10/5): A fabulous and unique experience with the loveliest staff - The castle was a unique place to stay. Quirky and interesting. Restored the soul and instilled a feeling of calm - we felt at home and were so sad to leave. It is beautiful and peaceful. A place to explore and feel relaxed. Nothing.
• Anthony (5/5): Passable -
• Jennifer (10/5): 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!
• Matt (8/5): Mega stay in Augill! - Lovely quiet location, great facilities, gorgeous building and wicked breakfast too! Staff all super friendly. Will come back for sure!
• Jonathan (9/5): Such a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Felt at home. - Very quirky building beautifully decorated and set out
• Graham (10/5): Augill castle - Relaxed atmosphere Liked it all
• Terry (9/5): Superb - breakfast was great and had a great time in kirby stephen .
• Lowes (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (5/5): Passable -
• Jennifer (8/5): Overall a great stay with cozy rooms and common areas and yummy food. - Unique and fun location especially with kids! Very nice beds and linens. Great breakfasts. It was advertised as a 5 star hotel but I feel like that was a bit of a stretch. Hotel was a little understaffed. Breakfasts were great, dinner was good, but the tea was just ok (felt it was a overpriced for what we got).
• Robert (10/5): Superb we will be back - We liked everything. We had a very relaxing stay Soup for a starter
• Michael (8/5): I stayed in a manor house - Lovely restored period rooms with furnishings appropriate for the castle. Great food and staff. It isn’t a castle no walls, keep, nor towers. It is a very interesting two plus century manor house with lovely grounds.
• Amit (8/5): Very good -
• Donna (7/5): Good -
• Elizabeth (8/5): A unique stay in a pretty setting - The castle is tucked away in wooded area down a long country track.It is very pretty setting like a fairy tale castle.Staff we’re relaxed and welcoming polite with no airs and graces.Room was huge and comfy four poster.Open fires in main reception areas have a homley feel.We we’re able to roam freely around the castle and grounds as it is very much a family home environment .Breakfast was excellent good quality and plenty of choice. Both hot and cold options available .Very unique and slightly quirky experience Could have been more choice for evening meals.But all that was on offer was excellent .
• Leonie (8/5): Very good -
• Kathryn (9/5): A little gem. - Quirky, lots to explore, lovely comfortable bed, tasty breakfast, friendly staff Sadly we chose a night where they were not serving full dinner but they were doing lighter snacks so you didn’t have to go hungry
• Andrew (9/5): very good - lovely location. maintains original charm with everything you might need. lovely spacious and well presented room. staff were very personable and helpful. all round very good experience nothing
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andy (6/5): 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
• Curry (8/5): Very good -
• Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
• peter (10/5): - 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!
• Paul (10/5): it’s our second visit, it’s just as amazing as our first visit - amazing castle in beautiful surroundings nothing
• Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mark (9/5): a delightful two nights that we would be eager to repeat sometime in the future - the seclusion and the quirkiness nothing that immediately springs to mind
• Lorna (9/5): Superb - The castle felt like a second home, not at all fussy and there were special touches for the kids, who loved every minute. The staff could have helped with more recommendations about what to do in the area.
• Philip (6/5): A characterful property that could be more welcoming. - Madeira in the room was an unusual and very nice touch
• Andrew (10/5): If you need to relax.. go here - Very nice getaway, quiet and tranquil and very nice seating with Beutiful views and fantastic service.
• Arthur (10/5): - Beautifully and sympathetic period decor, couldn’t fault the food or any of the facilities. Very welcoming staff and excellent hygiene and self distancing during our stay. Without doubt we will visit again.
• Steve (10/5): 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.
• Paul (10/5): 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.
• Stephen (8/5): 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.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 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.
• Jacqueline (10/5): Excellent castle accommodation - Superb castle accommodation, very friendly staff and excellent breakfast. Would definitely recommend.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Staff was nice and helpful. Owners were away and there were some problems with our reservation and the check-in process.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very quiet, great for a romantic getaway from the city. Close enough to drive or walk to nearby pubs and restaurants.
• Murray (6/5): The Castle - Did not live up to our expectations of staying in a castle. It would have been nice to have seen and spoken to the owners socially and perhaps some music might have created some atmosphere.
• darren (10/5): magical little find - amazing place to stay.You treat the castle as your own while youre there.The owners and staff have it totally bang on !!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Stayed at the gate house apartment. It was lovely
• Andy (10/5): Victorian perfection - Everything was perfect for a classical, quiet, authentic getaway.
