"We stayed here in September after the hotel we were booked into had to close due to flooding. What a fortunate accident for us! Anne was so welcoming and warm and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with her. Her daughter-in-law was so friendly as well! Our room was lovely and clean, bed comfy and the cooked to order breakfast was wonderful. We came from Canada to meet with cousins and she enabled us the time and space to get to know one another. Would recommend to anyone looking for the perfect B & B!"

"We stayed for one night 13th June 2026 (wish it had been more!) From the outset our stay was first rate.. Peter the house manager checked us in and showed us to our room which was pretty amazing and had a view of the castle and moat. Then we were free to have a wander and see more of the castle. The whole place was mesmerising. The rooms were astounding. We met Sally the owner who told us some more details about the castle and its history. Sally makes you feel at ease (and at home!!) immediately. She has a gift for that. The dining experience was unforgettable. Peter played the piano sweeping up and down the keyboard playing anything from Chopin to Sting and creating a very soothing and relaxing ambience. The food was delicious and served with precision and humour by Sally .The guests mingled and we made friends with the German and Swiss group we had met in the bar earlier. After dinner .I was encouraged by Sally to play the piano while Peter was serving wine! We ended up having a most enjoyable and fun musical evening . Who needs television?? . One of our new-found German friends sang to my piano accompaniment and the whole atmosphere was convivial and just genuine good fun. .To round off the evening Peter took us all into the bar and told us all about the castle .As well as serious historical facts his history lesson was peppered with little anecdotes and jokes from almost every era!. And all done without any notes. Bravo Peter! The only criticism I would have is that he needs to speak more loudly and clearly because apart from my husband and I the other guests were all speakers of English as a Second Language. Sometimes we could not catch what he said but remembering all that material must have been quite a feat. He was willing to repeat it when asked though. Our stay was authentic and far exceeded our expectations We exchanged contact details with our German and Swiss friends and after breakfast next day continued on our travels refreshed and relaxed and with great memories.. We highly recommend a stay at Appleby Castle. It is a historical oasis which takes you back in time and away from the stresses and strains of modern life!! We would also like to thank the wonderful cook who worked hard behind the scenes producing all the wonderful food that Sally brought to our tables."

"사랑스러운 따뜻한 환영, 호텔에 대한 전통적인 느낌을 좋아했습니다. 편안한 침실, 필요한 모든 것. 좋은 이른 아침 식사, 기차를 타기에 완벽한 시간. 1박 숙박에 대한 가격 가치가 있으며 Appleby는 얼마나 매력적인 마을입니까?"

"우리의 체류, 좋은 방 및 좋은 저녁 식사와 아침 식사를 즐겼습니다. 유일한 단점은 3개의 주차 공간만 있고 맞은편 도로에 주차해야 했습니다."

"A beautiful old manor house which has had a lot of money spent converting it into a nice 4 star hotel. Had a short walk round the garden enjoying the view from the end. Pleasant staff. Wish we had booked a longer stay. Cannot believe that this place was not fully booked. Will return."
