What a great place. A real Victorian country house with plenty of character in all the rooms. A warm welcome is extended to all by all the staff. The open fireplaces creating a warm cosy atmosphere in the lounge and restaurant areas, adding to the relaxed feeling. The breakfasts are great with a great range of good quality items. All the food was excellent, with the evening meals being worthy of top restaurants. Very different from the formal stiffness of other country house hotels, in the best way possible. If you want friendly and different this is the place for you. I loved it. More...

Stayed two nights and loved every bit of it. Will be back for another visit. The whole ambience is just as described on the website and a real joy. Roaring fires, downstairs and a well stocked honesty bar. Staff (and Maisie) are an absolute delight and I have no hesitation in compiling this review. However gremlins can creep in but only one and that was I specifically requested carnation flowers on arrival. Although flowers placed in the room they were not carnations. I recognise that we do not live in a perfect world, things can and do go awry but this place is as near perfect as you can get considering it is a smaller informal hotel and that in itself is part of its charm. Overall cannot commend highly enough and chef worth his weight in gold for mouthwatering cuisine. More...

We’ve just enjoyed a wonderful meal at Augill Castle, it has been an amazing experience. The food was delicious and all locally sourced, which was so lovely. Justin Woods is a fantastic chef and has produced a great menu. The staff were very attentive and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The castle is beautifully decorated and the atmosphere was lovely, warm and cosy, we felt very welcome and very relaxed. Our hosts Simon and Wendy were excellent, they are so passionate about their home and castle and rightly so, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed their company and we will certainly be back. Thank you for a lovely evening. More...

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. More...

Myself and my wife have just spent this weekend at the castle and it's an absolute gem of a place.||||You are given the key to the castle and once inside you are encouraged to treat it like as if it was your own, with free tea and coffee and cake amongst some of the treats. ||||The decor and staff where also excellent and nothing was to much trouble, especially Wendy who was really nice and helped show us around.||||We stayed in the Greystoke room and it was immaculate and very well presented. ||||There is something here for everyone, little cinema, children's dressing up costumes, board games, library and an honestly bar which was fantastic. ||||Will I return, for absolute sure as I believe everyone should stay here at least once in there lifetime.

Wow, what an amazing experience.I can honestly say it was one of the best afternoon teas we have had. It was great to have the choice of sweet or savoury food, something we had not come across before. The quality was superb and the amount of food was jaw dropping, goody boxes available to take any leftovers home, thank goodness. Augill Castle is a lovely quirky place with fabulous furniture and lots of interesting pieces on show. The staff were friendly and attentive. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to sample their Afternoon tea. More...

Quirky, unique, amazing, different etc etc. What a brilliant place! From the welcome by Emily to leaving, this was a great experience. ||If you want staff in uniform, being called sir or madam or expecting the front desk manned etc., then this isn't the place for you. This is a family run establishment that oozes the character of the owners, and includes an honesty bar and cinema room.||At meal time, you sit next to other guests (unless you ask not to) and luckily for us, this worked out extremely well, and we've even exchanged contact details!||I would really recommend this hotel, and plan to visit again.

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. More...

We stayed in Stable House to celebrate my wife’s 60th Birthday over the weekend and cannot praise Augill Castle highly enough, it’s fabulous. ||The building itself is hugely impressive, the type of accommodation is superb and to top things off, the owners and staff are the perfect hosts who go way beyond all expectation to make your stay extremely memorable. We were offered the use of a private room for our evening meal at no extra cost and the owners even prepared the food that we’d brought with us as we needed to dine early. Special praise goes to Bethany for her help in the kitchen, it was very much appreciated.||This is an amazing place. Our family had such a great time during our short stay and we all hope that it will be the first of many visits in the future.||With sincere thanks for making a special occasion unforgettable.||Chris, Sheila, Lorna, Kirsty, John and Annalise.|| More...

This is a castle turned into a charming bed and breakfast. The rooms are each roomy, unique and individually appointed. The breakfast is terrific with plenty of choices. I never got the true sense that I was in a castle,but is a unique experience and recommended. The staff is amazing and helpful. We ate dinner, which is done at a central table with all the guests. This is fun and makes meals friendly and interesting. We met many great English people who were on holiday here. The food was terrific. The property looks beautiful, but we spent our days traveling in the Lake District. This is a great change from the typical hotel. More...

Having great weather always helps, but we would have still wanted to give this place a perfect rating, even if the sun hadn't shone from dawn til dusk! We visited for a family celebration, and are returning guests, as we simply adore this place. Rustic charm, beautifully furnished rooms, comfortable places to relax and be alone, or together...Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who are warm and friendly and who would do anything they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Breakfast is always a triumph and there's plenty of it! The owners, Simon and Wendy, allow guests to have free run of the huge downstairs rooms - there is no sense of anything being 'out of bounds. We loved the quirky bar, and many funny story and games were shared over a glass or two...Thank you again - and we'll be back soon! More...

It's in an isolated location, but with still lots to do in the area on day outings. In the evenings it very much feels like your coming back to your own home. Help yourself to behind the bar, enjoy a movie in the mini cinema, or just chill in one of the sitting rooms by a fire. Complete freedom of the Castle. More...

Had a Westmoreland Afternoon Tea at Augill Castle and was thoroughly impressed by every aspect of the experience. The castle is easy to get to as it is close to the A66; just a couple of minutes outside of Brough. The approach to the castle is down a dirt track with signs warning you to look out for red squirrels. Exciting stuff, but we didn't see any . Anyway, back to the afternoon tea... A delicious assortment of sandwiches followed by some excellent cakes, pastries and biscuits along with plain and cherry scones with clotted cream and jam. All this washed down with as much cafetiere coffee and loose leaf tea as we could drink. The castle itself is a beautiful building which has been carefully and tastefully decorated and furnished providing a feel of opulence but not at the expense of welcoming comfort. The staff were great too, regularly checking that everything was ok and that we had enough tea or coffee.I would come back here again without hesitation and would definitely recommend a visit.
