애플비 캐슬

設施極其陳舊，入住當天預訂的房間還壞了，整個城堡都壞了，衹能住到外面的房間，雖然房價更高，但是預訂這邊就是要住老房子啊

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!

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.

Wow, we just loved this place! This is not a run-of-the-mill hotel chain. It is a quirky, rustic, wonderfully historic and completely unique place to stay. The lovely Peter looked after us on arrival and we opted for a room upgrade to the ‘Evidence’ room, a four poster, high ceiling and very original castle-like room. Just fabulous. This castle is a little shabby around the edges but this really and truthfully adds to the charm. Dinner in the great hall was an experience not to miss. With all the grandeur of the wood panelled room, roaring fire and the piano playing from Peter, added to the perfect service and exceptional food. A night to remember! Thank you so much. Hope to return very soon.

I wrote a review & was threatened with legal action by Peter Bass & Sally Nightingale because they didn't like my opinion. I thought this is what this site was all about? To write about the experience & give people the truth before parting with their cash? Avoid this place & hosts - there are plenty of other quirky hotels around hosted by professionals

The whole castle experience was quirky & quite surreal to be honest! Our room was fine. Clean bedding & towels so all good there. No menu for drinks & on check out, we were charged £40.00 for 2 cans of lager (no other choice for beer) & 2 glasses of Prosecco. 3 course dinner was lovely, as was breakfast. Now, here is where we had our issues..... The castle is owned/run by Basil & Sybil & Manuel the chef. Manuel is also the checker-inner & the checker-outer & all round dogsbody from what we could see. We went into the town for a couple of drinks in the afternoon & spoke to a few locals who felt sorry for Manuel. We felt sorry for Manuel so much so, we gave him a £20.00 tip when we checked out & thanked him for looking after us. On the way home following our stay in the castle, we received a telephone call from Basil & Sybil who asked if we had told the locals Manuel was being bullied by them!! Absolutely surreal!!! It left us feeling bullied & very uncomfortable! Basil & Sybil then asked us to leave a review & mention the fact that Manuel (Craig) is not bullied by Basil (Peter) & Sybil (Sally) Anyway, here's the review.
