We traveled two weeks in Scotland and Appleby Castle had by far the most delicious dinner. Staff was small but worked hard and swift. Castle was cozy and true to its heritage.

A real drama setting
This place is awesome. 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

A rare treat.
A wonderfully atmospheric place to stay. If you have any feeling for historical surroundings you will enjoy your stay. The food was excellent (dinner and breakfast), the room was excellent, and the service excellent.

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.

I liked the room and the dining room and the meal. The renovations have not been done well and it is pretty cold in the big breakfast room. Plus parking is outside the gardens and along walk wit suit cases and need somebody to help with luggage up the stairs

Disappointed in stay
I was disappointed by our stay overall. 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.

Disappointing second time around
This was our second stay here. 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.

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

Appleby Castle is filled with history -- so much fun and great portraits on the walls. Wonderful tapestries on the walls of the bedroom we stayed in. The staff went out of their way to be helpful.

Light bulbs were missing, overall dim lighting. Awkward bathrooms with no counters or hooks. Insects crawling in different rooms and walls. Spider webs on the ceiling. We were upgraded to a larger cottage with the above problems.

Staying for a night is an amazing experience. 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.

We stayed in one of the cottages which was very comfortable and spacious but the highlight that it was such a majestic setting. The castle is also very conveniently located for walking into the centre of Appleby.
