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

Don't like posting negatives to but this did not start well. notice on door definitely no check ins before 3pm so wasn't happy when no one was there until 3.30. No ambiance very dark and gloomy which is to be expected in an old castle. The Hothfield bedroom was nice, with view of keep. Only one other couple checked in so it all felt a little strange in such a huge building. A lot of signs for things you can't do. Did not have any meals but dining room looked like something from King Arthur's days armour tapestry wall hangings etc. when deciding to stay do your homework and make up your own minds. A fairly long walk from carpark if carrying heavy bags.
Set in Eden Valley, the 19th century Appleby Manor Country House Hotel features an AA rosette winning restaurant which serves fresh, local produce.

This was our third time staying here. We just love the relaxing atmosphere, the excellent food in the restaurant. The staff are always very friendly and provide a great service. We always go on Valentines weekend and it is never too busy, it can actually feel very exclusive in this regard. The fantastic spa completes the experience

We had a family crisis hit during or stay and our hosts were so very kind and helpful, allowing us to extend the stay another night, which reduced stress enormously. Thank you again!

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 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

We only stayed overnight so shops were closed but nice to stroll and windowshop. Limited places to eat so would recommend booking a table. Parking also limited, discs need to be displayed. Lovely river with benches on the banks to enjoy the scenery
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.
The village of Appleby is delightful and the castle itself is stunning. The room was huge with a super confortable bed. Breakfast, cooked to order, was local produce and full of flavour. Having no TV in the room was also a refrehsing change. That the chef was off sick was not necessarliy a bad thing, as I walked down to the village for an evening meal, and the curry house recommended was a cracking find. I cannot wait to come back next year.
No breakfast provided; nor was it available as chef had left. However this did not detract from our stay. The hotel is an extremely old building (18th century) but has recently been refurbished to a high standard. The bedroom was on the small side but the quality of the decor and furnishing can not be faulted. Appleby is about 4 miles away and is reached by a mainly single track road - some really good eating places.
This was my second visit to The Royal Oak. Room was really comfortable and warm. TV wasn't working but this wasn't a huge issue for us (although we let hotel staff know) We had dinner in hotel and drinks in the bar. Breakfast was really good. All staff were friendly and helpful. There is plenty of on street parking and a lovely river walk nearby. We'd definitely stay here again. Appleby is a lovely town.
Just had a fabulous two night here.
Very accommodating, friendly, entertaining. Breakfast was lovely - even catering specifically for a vegan diet, not just cobbling something together.
Easy to get to lots of walks - we did High Cup Nick, the starting point was around a 10 minute drive.
Fab location, Appleby town (it’s not a village 😆) is lovely with lots of choices for food and drinks on an evening.
This was our third time staying here. We just love the relaxing atmosphere, the excellent food in the restaurant. The staff are always very friendly and provide a great service. We always go on Valentines weekend and it is never too busy, it can actually feel very exclusive in this regard. The fantastic spa completes the experience
Staff throughout were pleasant and helpful. The Bistro was good value, our breakfast was everything we expected. There is an excellent BP 50kw EV charging point adjacent to the hotel. The hotel is only 5 minutes from the excellent Appleby Golf Club. A really enjoyable ‘inland-links’ course!!
Excellent cottage and great location within lovely Appleby and close to fabulous scenery. Kitchen is very well equipped and the whole place is very comfortable and yet quite spacious (for 5 of us).
Looked recently refurbished and was to a high standard. Light and airy rooms, great location. Lots of amenities in Appleby-in-Westmoorland, great pubs & shops.
Staff were helpful and friendly. There was a cosy fire in the pub area. The beds were very comfortable and the room and bathroom were spacious and clean.
