Sitting next to the River Eden in the beautiful Eden Valley at the edge of the Lake District is the majestic Appleby Castle.

The castle was stunning with some beautifully carved pieces of furniture and was very authentic. The bedroom was clean. The manager was very pleasant and accommodating and doubled up as a pianist to entertain us through our evening me which was a pleasurable experience. The evening meal was superb and the bar was very cosy and intimate which encouraged people to engage in conversation. The barman was very pleasant and helpful in assisting us to chose wine to accompany our meal and gave us a little taster to ensure we were happy with our choice.

The accommodation and food were good quality making my booking good value for money. I was particularly pleased with the comfort of the bed in my room as I have a back that doesn’t like soft beds. I will definitely stay again.
It’s up for sale and needs TLC. The bones of it are great, the staff are unfriendly and a little weird!
Young lady waitress was the exception.
We had decided on the taster menu, it was not a taster, it was three starters a main and a slightly random dessert.
No alternative to mussels, which were tough, more deep fried cheese balls swapped in.
It was all entertaining, probably due to the amount of Prosecco we had… but I wouldn’t eat there again. Worth seeing the musty internals of the dining room and the very busy gardener who became the maitre de and then played piano!

A lovely village with a castle, river, woodlands, a great park under construction and a swimming pool. There are a few nice cafes, a couple of restaurants and pubs and some lovely gift shops. We ate at the 'Crown and Cushion' pub for a traditional meal and 'The Cutting Garden Cafe' for breakfast. We had a lovely stay and would definitely return.

Appleby is a stones throw from the Dales and the Lake District. The town itself is friendly with several options for food and drink. It does have a "small" weekly market and several independent shops. There are lots of walking trails and a haunted castle, a perfect hide away from city living.

We phoned up on the morning of our booking to confirm check in time. We were told they were cancelling our booking because they had no bed linen. They had not attempted to call and inform us. Be careful if you book this hotel

It was horrible from start to finish i had paid for 2 nights i left first thing in the morning after first night. It is nothing like the web says, one man that stunk of alcohol and bo checked us in he was also the cook and the bar man, one look at the state of the kitchen told me i wasnt eating in there, it wasnt even a bar it was a pop up with can of beer, to say i was devastated was an under statement , the bed squeeked all night with every movement, it was pitch black in the corridors we had to use the torches on our phones to find the room, do not go here

What a fantastic opportunity to stay in a truly memorable...
What a fantastic opportunity to stay in a truly memorable location. Yes the floors are uneven yes the things are old very old. The bathrooms are however up to date. You are a stones throw from town.
Staff were fantastic but stretched by the logistics a little. We had wifi other than that go to the bar the games room tv room or walk in the grounds….we loved it don’t go to a Castle if you want everything new…….I would recommend this to anyone who appreciates staying in a castle that is pretty much as it was in 1680s parts of it far older than that….. thanks for a great opportunity to stay in the awesome place
Immaculately presented cottage. Very comfortable. The cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. Very well equipped. Good WiFi and a smart TV so our daughters were happy. Some board games to help get the children off their screens. Ideally located in the center of Appleby within a few minutes walk of cafes, pubs and restaurants. 30 minutes drive from Keswick and Ullswater, 50 minutes from Grasmere. The hosts were very helpful and always responded within an hour of any questions we asked. We’d definitely return and are very happy to recommend.
Clean, homely, warm and cosy. The cottage was easy to find, we had no issues with parking in the yard and the cottage had everything we needed for a weeks stay. Collette was really helpful and responsive. Its about a half hour drive to the Lake District which was fine for us. We were there when the Appleby Horse Fair was on and although the village was much busier than normal, it was still quiet in the cottage, except for the occasional clip clop of horses hooves. Great value for money, we would return in a heartbeat.
We were most concerned that the dog could fit in to the hotel environment while allowing us to relax. The staff were fantastic with him as soon as we arrived, put us at ease and enabled us to enjoy a fantastic meal (real ale a plus). The room had a door directly into the garden which meant that the dog could be let out as required. We will very likely stay here again if we pass this way. The town of Appleby also has nice walks along the river so we had a pleasant evening walk to finish.
The booking.com site indicates availability of a family room with multiple beds, which we booked. Upon arrival, we were informed that there is not a family room and the booking site must have had an error. The staff were incredibly understanding and accommodating. They brought in a foldout bed for us straight away that met our needs. The room was spacious enough to easily accommodate the trundle bed without issues.
The food was excellent and the bed and bath exceptional. The staff was attentive and very helpful with our special needs as we had to stay most of our checkout day waiting for a rental car. The public areas were numerous, spacious and comfortable and all with a fantastic view of Appleby-In-Westmorland in the land below.
Fiona was very very friendly, everything was clean, the room was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. Unfortunately we didn't get to see a lot of Appleby since we just stayed 2 nights for a wedding near by... But there was a supermarket 5min away which was super convenient. I definitely recommend this place...
The hotel is in a small village , so easily found . There was hot chocolate along with tea/coffee in the room's hot drink making tray . It was quiet at night , so I had a good sleep . The wi-fi worked fine . The bed was comfortable . The shower was good , with plentiful hot water .
The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was excellent and the hotel was in a lovely setting with great views. The hotel had character, and we were given a free upgrade without asking. The beds were huge with plenty of pillows and cushions.
Excellent location. Breakfast was tasty. The bed was large and comfortable.
Appleby Castle is hundreds of years old. An authentic piece of our history. It is not a faceless chain hotel on a dual carriageway. It’s different and an experience.
The ambience of the whole hotel; the opportunities for sitting quietly, both indoors and outdoors was great; the lovely grounds and the view across to Appleby castle; the spacious room.
Charming hotel in the centre of Appleby near the castle walls. Brilliant dinner and gorgeous breakfast. Very comfortable room with good plumbing. Welcoming patron.
