Augill Castle

This was our fifth visit to the castle and we've never been disappointed. We stayed in the castle, had afternoon tea one day and dinner at the castle the next day. The food was amazing--my mom and I had been looking forward to it for months! Wendy, Simon and their staff are so friendly and helpful and so fun to chat with. I love this caslte!

My husband and our 3 year old stayed for 3 nights in between Christmas and New Year. I cannot say enough positives about Augill Castle and everyone who works there. From the room to the delicious food to the dressing up and toy boxes, it was the perfect stay. We immediately felt at home, kicked shoes off and went for afternoon tea in the lounge. We were made to feel so welcome and everyone was amazing with our son and it was so great to feel at ease with him and the other kids staying as they played together in the communal areas. We will definitely definitely be back, thank you for an incredible stay.

Tucked away. this is possibly the best hidden gem i have found. each room is different|lovingly restored it just works. the food is brilliant the staff are lovely and we did manage to meet one of the lovely owners .. Its the little things that they do It has its own personality. You have to experience it ...WE will return , |Lovely homely family weekend.. possibly the most relaxing weekend I have had

We went for Christmas. We picked Augill pretty much with a pin because we thought it might be fun. It turned out one of the best Christmases we've had. I was nervous of sitting down to dinner with a roomful of strangers but Wendy somehow managed to make us feel we were guests at a country house party. Lovely people, excellent food and a wonderful atmosphere.|Augill is an early example of the Victorian fashion for building fake castles and it is a particularly fine specimen. If you want a real castle, it's a short walk from the rather splendid Brough Castle, which is worth a visit.|I really can't praise Augill enough. It's a fantastic place for a special holiday.

Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea at Augill Castle. Good balance of sweet and savoury with an unusual twist. The castle has an interesting history and the decor reflects this. Hospitality was efficient and friendly. Met another couple who raved about the bedroom they were staying in.

Wow, this place is super cool!! Legit Castle and rooms are very nice and charming. Wendy and Johanna were amazing hosts and the dinner we had in the Castle that evening was fantastic. Our group played cards after dinner that evening and Johanna brought us drinks, snacks and even built us a fire to make sure we were cozy. They even did my laundry for me during our stay. Perfect place to stay if you’re looking for an authentic castle experience for a reasonable price and excellent service.

You just have to experience each different room , put together with so much love. Warm inviting and relaxing. The staff are brilliant The rooms are all diferent. The welcome you receive is second to none. The food is lovely..Cant wait to return

Went for a lovely Afternoon tea and decided to stay.|From going up the drive to going through the door, the welcome was perfect and welcoming. We enquired after quick look around and perfect service, we let them book the room, didn’t even ask the price as we felt we could trust them and we weren’t let down. We stayed in the Appleby room with an open fire all we can say perfect very good nights sleep and a lovely breakfast before we went.

My fellow Americans, Please consider staying at the incomparable Augill Castle when you find yourself in the delightful Lake District of England. http://www.stayinacastle.com/ It is set in an English folly - or small stone castle - and is totally and utterly amazing. We visited for three days in fall of 2009 and compare every other place we stay to Augill Castle's abundant charms - and none has yet reached the castle's sweeping hem. Every room is completely lovely and has its own personality. Top shelf linens abound with wonderful feather beds and crackling fireplaces. Freshly made cookies and a bottle of sweet sherry welcome you "home." The common rooms are warm and gorgeous. We booked dinner here for one stormy night and it was delicious. Breakfasts at this inn are delicious and abound with top quality choices. The setting is exquisite but leaving your Wellies at the door is encouraged, the food is scrumptious. Simon and family are wonderful hosts. It really does feel, for one brief shining moment, that one has his or her own Camelot to relish and then remember fondly - year after year. Treat yourself to a place of wonder . . . in Augill Castle. It's a dream.

A quaint place. A castle turned into a B&B-stylish hotel with great food and a personal atmosphere. The furniture in the rooms is never the same. You actually wonder where can someone get all these old things ...

First rate! My family and I stayed at Augill Castle for a night in August, 2016. We were very impressed. Beautiful setting, amazing ambience and friendly staff. Although it's not an "authentic" castle (it's a folly house, built by some rich guy in the 1800s) it still has the romantic feel of a castle and some history behind it. Two things impressed me in particular: 1. The laid back atmosphere. Having 2 young children, my wife and I were concerned that we'd need to keep a muzzle on them and tip-toe around the place. We couldn't have been more wrong. It was pleasantly informal. Casual dining, an honour bar, a free-use cinema room, a children's play-room - all made up for a very relaxing stay. 2. The sheer beauty of the castle itself. Impeccably decorated with very comfortable rooms. Although the price is a little higher than a typical B&B (200 pounds), it's totally reasonable considering what you're getting. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Definitely a highlight of our trip.
