The room was fine, I enjoyed the grand decor of the castle but it needs a refresh. I think for £100/night it is expensive for the room we stayed in. (De morville) Our room had only one sidelight and it did not fit with the decor of the room and there was just a random plastic mirror in the corner of the room. Fine tuning this would make the room better. It was not a luxury stay to be honest. I was disappointed with the cleanliness - the carpet was covered in white hairs and the bathroom soap dispensers (hand and showergel) were empty. My sister stayed in Thurston Arms which I would recommend over this hotel in the area. We also ate at the Thurston Arms and the food and wine list was great. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3E7669D01BD6E3F8320EA98AC0BB8FBF47FB51BB1696595272598.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Geoffrey Aug 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Disliked: Staff & service This stay is hard to evaluate, because it was uneven. It is an experience staying in a medieval castle. We wandered around the interior to see the rooms, with old paintings, suits of armour, etc., which was interesting. The staff upgraded us from servants quarters to a cottage. The cottage was modernized with a living room and wide screen tv, a bedroom, and bathroom with a tub and walk-in shower. This was all good except for the mouse we saw in the bedroom. We had dinner in the dining room, which was kind of worn down, definitely in need of an upgrade. The food was good but not great, and it was expensive. Service was passable, but simple things like providing a bread plate and a functional candelabra were not done. The meal was fair but this was not as good as it could have been. The staff did upgrade us and helped with the internet and tv, but he was not to be found after our check-in. We never got a tour or got to climb to the top of the tower. I made a mistake in booking by one day, but I recognized and corrected that error on the internet. I asked more than once if they would waive the penalty fee for having to cancel the original registration date and rebook the correct dates, and staff replied to my emails but never responded to my request to waive the fee. In the end we were charged a fairly hefty cancellation fee, which is pretty shabby treatment. It was interesting staying in a castle and the upgrade was great, but the place was just a bit “off.” ##### Geoffrey Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joanna Jun 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### GREAT STAY BUT TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE We had a great time at Appleby Castle it was everything we expected until we arrived home when the hotel decided to charge me and my husband our check out bill twice on 2 different cards! We tried to contact the hotel several ways with no response even now after several weeks of returning I still haven't had a response from the hotel. I can say that hotels.com have been extremely helpfull in trying to get the overcharged money back for me and must say a huge thank you for that. So after having a great time in this lovely castle I will definately not be staying there again. :( ##### Joanna Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller May 17, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service #### Expensive service on low quality Food was not good not even fresh and price is too much with no quality. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lenroy Feb 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Night at the castle Nice hotel, great surroundings, great theme.

Bit of a time warp, bit tired, but if they fixed it they would ruin it. It something out of a TV series, staff are great. its not a luxury setup, but defiantly an experience well worth having and in a lovely setting. will be back ##### Christopher Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Apr 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A rare treat.

The food was excellent (dinner and breakfast), the room was excellent, and the service excellent. ##### James Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Khamika Nov 30, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities It's an old castle built in the 811 or there abouts, they maintain a formal dining room one for dinner and another for breakfast, there's also a small TV room, there's a games room on the first floor with a pool table. The bedroom was warm and big and nicely furnished, nice size bathroom and clean. I enjoyed my stay. There's a kitchen and you can use the menu to place your order. ##### Khamika Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Nov 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Stay Fantastic experience.

The renovations have not been done well and it is pretty cold in the big breakfast room.

The first time was amazing, but this time was disappointing. The first issue was that we had booked a self-catering cottage and had arrived with food. However, none of the cottages had been cleaned, and so we had to stay in rooms in the castle instead. The guy on reception was very apologetic, but the manager, Peter, seemed rather blasé about the whole thing and even seemed to think we should be grateful for getting an 'upgrade.' While the rooms were impressive, they were on the top floor, which meant a lot of stairs, and there was no fridge or anywhere to store the food we'd brought. The chef had gone home, and so there was no food available at the hotel, forcing us to go out to find somewhere to eat. It was raining heavily and was father's day. Finding either a free table or a place in the vicinity that was serving food was surprisingly difficult, but after an hour we managed it. We returned at about 8:30pm to find the gates had been shut (but not locked), forcing one of us to get out in the pouring rain to open them. This pretty much summed up the feeling we got from our stay this time: tolerated but unwelcome guests. There were good points about the place — the bathrooms were nice, and the rooms spacious. However, there was a lack of electrical sockets, and some of those were broken. We even had to move the kettle to the hearth because there was no socket next to it and the tea and coffee equipment. We won't be back a 3rd time. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Richard Jun 5, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Scam hotel, horrible, avoid! Horrible hotel, service was shocking, receptionist stank of booze, was wearing a dirty shirt, room door was broken, grounds were overgrown with weeds and nettles. Bed was not well made, dirty plates and glasses stacked up unwashed, junk in the corridors, big stains on the carpets, we didn’t risk staying, we got back in our car and left. Not so much as a question from the staff as to why, no one cared a jot about the customer at all. Awful place, awful staff, awful service… we feel scammed ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carole May 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### wonderful historical place to stay Appleby Castle is filled with history -- so much fun and great portraits on the walls.

Place very old and smells like old place. Bed very comfortable 11/10. Clean bathroom in the room. Breakfast not recommended. I didn't dinning there. I will strongly recommend that hotel anyway for memories. Owl's sounds behind the window. Millions stars on night Sky. Place where you can touch old furnitures. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1A561F758FC54E54DDCFE3501FA96EEC01D315FD1667210355994.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F9FEA53769F0A3B47C67BF66670F0157FEE9D8FC1667210355586.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Agnieszka Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maureen Sep 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was absolutely delightful.
