Augill Castle

Beautiful afternoon tea of ham salad brioches, mini prawn salad, plenty of freshly baked cakes and tea and coffee. A quirky out of the way castle full of interesting things to look at and comfortable furnishings to lounge on. We were made to feel at home straight away with a friendly welcome. Def worth a second visit.

The castle was the fairytale setting for our daughter's wedding. Wendy and her wonderful team ensured the day was perfect from start to finish. The food was exceptional; rooms were quirky and comfortable; the setting was magical and the team were friendly and eager to help in any way. We could not recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much to Wendy and everyone at Augill Castle.

A very warm welcome to this beautiful castle / country home. Very relaxing & quiet. The bedroom beautiful & the bed so comfortable. A very peaceful night sleep. The afternoon tea in the lounge was gorgeous. Breakfast was great with a nice selection on offer to set you up for the day. The owner’s award winning book is an entertaining read as it goes through the history of the castle and how the family established the business. Would recommend a visit here.

Wow, this place is super cool!! Legit Castle and rooms are very nice and charming. Wendy and Johanna were amazing hosts and the dinner we had in the Castle that evening was fantastic. Our group played cards after dinner that evening and Johanna brought us drinks, snacks and even built us a fire to make sure we were cozy. They even did my laundry for me during our stay. Perfect place to stay if you’re looking for an authentic castle experience for a reasonable price and excellent service.

We visited Augill Castle for three nights with our three kids in July and had a brilliant, relaxing time. We chose Augill Castle as we were looking for somewhere child friendly en route to the Lake District to extend our time away. Augill was exactly what we hoped it would be and more. A beautiful castle, with fab owners, combining a relaxing break away with good food, drink and an informal but luxurious setting. Our kids loved the tennis court and play area and enjoyed playing football in the grounds. All the staff at the castle were friendly with both of us and our kids and we were made to feel really welcome. If you’re after a relaxing break away from the craziness of every day life (even with small children), combined with staying at a beautiful castle, then I throughly recommend Augill Castle.

Attentive & friendly staff. Three wonderful fireplaces to sit & read by while the rain passes. We had the pleasure to enjoy a well planned out NYE celebration. Super comfortable beds. Location was perfect for a country side retreat. Nearby are breathtaking hikes, historical landmarks and waterfalls.

We were very excited to be staying in a castle, but unfortunately it did not quite meet up to expectations. Very quirky and eclectic. Immaculately clean. Really lovely staff. Very comfortable bed and good shower. However, there was mould in the bathroom, the room door (directly onto outside) didn’t close properly, there were cracks in the windows, the sink was very close to the toilet so had to manoeuvre to use it despite it being a large bathroom. The evening menu is interesting, as mentioned on the website, they offer a selection of small plates. The ravioli and the prawn cocktail were nice, a bit small but pleasant enough. The rest were just ok. Breakfast - cereals and toast with jam etc and cooked breakfast were all offered. The sausage was inedible and the poached egg tasted like it had been pre-cooked days ago. not a perfect stay unfortunately and I felt that the price was high for what we got which is a shame.

A five star experience without any hesitation! For us, our weekend in a castle could not have been better. The castle is quite simply beautiful, being furnished cleverly (and with an artistic eye) with antique finds and family heirlooms which give it personality and something to photograph at every turn. Our rooms were so comfortable and tastefully furnished with luxurious toiletries in the bathrooms. The service was spot on. Unintrusive but attentive, which meant that we could relax and chat, and chat some more without feeling that we were in the way or being overheard. We breakfasted like kings and loved the small plates evening menu which enabled us to try lots of different dishes, all perfectly cooked. The owners and staff couldn’t do enough for us. This really was the perfect place for a celebration or few nights away with family or friends. We’ll be back for sure!

A great place to be relaxed and leave the hustle and bustle behind. Full of history, great staff and wonderful food, afternoon tea looked amazing too.The room we stayed in was beautiful, comfortable and large. We highly recommend a visit . Great places to visit around the area too.
