The facilities are extremely old. The room booked on the day of check-in is broken. The entire castle is broken down. You can only stay in the rooms outside. Although the price is higher, you have to stay in an old house when booking here.

My husband and I stayed in the castle for two nights. Our experience was wonderful! This place is full of history in every corner , I couldn’t believe I was reading my book in the great hall where Lady Ann Clifford used to walk. Our room had 17th century beds as well as tapestries! Of course it has uneven floors and old features, but it is the charmed of this place. You are not buying a luxury stay, you are buying the experience of staying in a real medieval castle. We have stayed in other castles in the past , but this one is definitely the most authentic one. The food was very good , the staff very friendly, Craig in the restaurant/bar was great. We also highly recommend to visit the Norman tower , it is a very interesting museum where you learn more about the history of the castle. The owner of the hotel , Sally is wonderful! Full of energy and a great hostess. We really enjoyed our chats with her and we wish her all the best! We recommend this charming place if you want to be back in history!

Wow a hidden gem stunning and so historic we staying in the suite with all original features some dating back to 16th Century four poster bed original tapestry hangings from 16th century The meal.was in a candlight dining room amazing setting and the owner Peter Bass played the piano so beautiful I must say this place is hidden rustic charm. If you wantca sterile modern hotel it's not for you we felt very privileged to stay. The grounds setting in the Eden Valley stunning and only a stroll into the lovely market town of Appleby thank you we will be back and recommend to our friends

Spending New Year's Eve was a huge step out of the ordinary for us. However, having an overnight babysitter galvanised us into going out out. We decided upon a stay and NYE gala meal and entertainment at Appleby Castle. Our approach to the castle blew us away. The ancient Norman Keep dominating the view. A super friendly check-in and tour to our room. A glorious four poster room with en suite and tapestries. We were allowed to poke around and enjoy the secrets of the castle, which was really fun. The food was incredible, and the piper/ piano accompaniment delightful. The ensuing truly retro disco was fabulous. The surroundings and hosts mean this is a truly special place to visit. It is clear that sharing their historic home is important to them, and my husband particularly enjoyed his trip to the top (102 steps of spiral staircase) of the Norman keep. We can't wait to return.

We stayed on a lovely big room in the actual castle with a 4 poster bed. The room had everything we needed. The building was amazing and we spent some time looking around. The staff and the owner were very attentive, knowledgeable, and efficient. We had a lovely breakfast in the morning. We will be back to try another room and to have dinner in the fabulous dining room.

Amazingly historical place, a chance to feel how people lived here before. We stayed at the State Room, which has 2 double beds. It was adequate for a family of 4. The floor was crooked, maybe normal for the age of the building. Cleanliness was acceptable. The toilet did not have enough hand soap, like a couple of milliliters at the bottom of the bottle. Breakfast was good, which we paid for at the time of the booking already. The waitress who served us breakfast was so friendly and professional, kudos to her. There was no TV in the room, which we didn’t need for one night. It is a once-in-a-lifetime stay for us. I guess the building needs some restoration but it should be too costly, I assume.

If you are looking for a 4* hotel Appleby Castle is not for you but if you are looking for an authentic experience in a Norman Castle this is for you! The castle is dark with sloping floors, antique wooden furniture, doors that don’t fit, can feel cold, water may not get hot for five minutes running it, staff are few, heating may come on or may not. But this is a castle experience so take it for what it offers you. The chance to sleep in a castle! Even the owner Sally Nightingale likened it to Fawlty Towers. But it is an unforgettable experience. Our bed was comfy and the shower was hot. The food is ok, although they had run out of quite a few items on the menu when we were there. Breakfast was ok but on our second morning there was no bacon in the full breakfast. There are no draught beers just cans of Stella (very expensive) and very little choice of wines. Apart from all that, the experience of staying in a castle was what we went for and that is what we got. Another ✔️ off the bucket list!
