艾波比城堡酒店的評價

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

We spent last night at this wonderful castle hotel and we loved it , we arrived to a lovely warm welcome and check in and chat with Peter who showed us to our room and told us some of the history on the way , our room was gorgeous with a 4 poster bed , tapestry on the walls and crisp clean sheets and fluffy towels all ready for us , we booked in for dinner and i am so glad we did this was a fantastic experience the dining room itself is one of a kind all Set up for formal dining with candles Christmas wreaths on the walls and Peter playing lovely music on the keyboard the attention to detail is spot on and the food WOW compliments to the chef everything was of high quality and delicious, the owner comes around and chats with every diner personally and was serving and clearing plates , what a lovely lady she is and we enjoyed chatting with her she brightened our stay , the food is next level and felt a real treat , we had the best night's sleep ever and the bed was so comfortable with top quality duvet and pillows and so snuggly warm on a cold and stormy night , before we left we looked around the keep and that was really interesting. We would love to return and hopefully will soon , Thank you for your hospitality and a lovely evening to all concerned

Booked as a birthday treat for my fella - thought it would be really cool to holiday for the weekend in a castle - we were not disappointed. Wow factor kicked in just driving up the sweeping drive. This place is located on the edge of a beautiful little village (Appleby); with a picturesque square, river walk and garden borders. This is a ‘Historic Houses’ house so expect other people mooching the grounds in the day - although light when we attended. Reception is ‘medieval’ - wood panelling, suits of armour and ‘rugs on walls’ adorn the stone walls and floors. Met by some lovely man, who (turns out) literally does everything from take breakfast orders to serve drinks in the bar. Check in was quick, showed to our room (room 12 - Hothfield); was at the end of a corridor. Own en-suite, king brass bed, wood panelling and creaking floors. Tea, coffee & bottled water provided, so too is a hairdryer and wardrobe space with hangers. No tv though, so don’t be expecting to watch ‘your programmes’. But the room does have great WiFi if you’re ‘pining Emmerdale’ and need to watch on your iPad etc. Bathroom and bedroom immaculately clean; shower functional. Towels provided. The breakfast room - just wow. 6 long tables with bench seats (medieval); wood panelling, suits of armour, shields and candlesticks with real candles. Breakfast is freshly cooked. Cranberry juice - to die for. Evening meals in a different room - wow again. The room is authentic medieval again, with lots of wood panelling, the food is freshly cooked and exceptionally tasty. Small bar, with authentic furniture and feel. Parking is provided - under a beautiful tree. You can drop off outside reception but parking is by the tree. The front door to the castle hotel is locked at all times - easy access, ring the doorbell. You might have to wait a few minutes but you’ll be let in with a smile and a warm welcome. Pay extra to see ‘The Norman Keep’ - £10. Well worth it and beautiful views for the top. The castle building has 2 flights of carpeted stone stairs to the first floor from reception (food & bar); and another 2 flights of carpeted stone stairs to the 2nd floor (bedrooms). There is a lot of wood panelling, authentic art & large mirrors - you truly feel like royalty walking down them. No suitable though if your mobility impaired - didn’t see a lift or handrails. There are cottages for rent though in a separate building annex across the courtyard. Absolutely loved our stayed. Castle - fabulous. Food - fabulous. Staff - fabulous. Medieval feel - just wow throughout.

J'ai passé une nuit dans le château, et regrette être resté si peu de temps. Les promenades à faire, la visite du château et des alentours méritent plus. L'expérience dinatoire était vraiment originale, les plats copieuxs avec pianiste en "live". L'endroit est autant familial que romantique, les pièces du château respirent l'authenticité, et le contact avec les propriétaires et staffs fut chaleureux et convivial. Des vrais pro quoi! Je programme d'y retourner.

So, we booked a room at Appleby Castle Hotel, only to arrive and all the gates, doors, and reception locked. Abandoned. We arrived 1 and a half hours before check in, as everybody does, expecting to be greeted with a warm welcome, and possibly waiting in the bar area with a coffee or beverage. Instead we had to ring a telephone number which was on a gate, to be told by the "manager" Peter was in Penrith and "maybe back around 3pm" and told us to come back then. The place was abandoned. We decided to go home as there was absolutely nobody there. We rang the "manager" again and he laughed. Passed the phone to the "lady owner" who was ranting in the background to tell us there is no refund and if we want, we can come back to the hotel to spend the night as it is non refundable. How she knew we had booked a non refundable room without our name or any information about our booking leads us to believe we were the only people to be booked in to this absolutely disgrace of a "hotel" This is how they make money, by coning people with non refundable rooms. Disgusting way to treat customers that paid hundreds of pounds to stay the night. AVOID AT ALL COST. No refund. Absolutely disgusting. Do not believe the description on their website. Manager and owner both laughed at us. They do have some good reviews on their website which we were fooled by. PLEASE take our advice, and listen to the poor reviews as these are the truth, as we found out today at our expense. If we could score a minus, we would. Avoid at all cost.

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!

We booked and paid on line to visit this castle . When we arrived we were instructed to phone a number and we would be met for our tour. We called the number and a gentleman said he would come and find us - no one arrived. We phoned again 20 minutes later - again no one arrived. We walked up to the castle and a random man let us in and disappeared leaving us alone in the castle keep with no instructions. Very disappointing and a waste of £40.

Creeky floors,dirty walls, uneven furniture, big gaps under doors, no tv. Wardrobe door is an hazard in the fact that the door protrudes out at the bottom by about 2 inches and is a trip danger. No creature comforts and only one little chair to sit on. Whole room is unsightly. Shame the price doesn't represent the age of the building in its current condition. 10 pm curfew otherwise you have to phone for access. More like a hostel than a 4 star hotel 🏨

My husband and I had such a lovely time at Appleby castle. The grounds were beautiful and the castle and keep were just breathtaking. Sally Nightingale, the owner, was a breath of fresh air and so kind to us. We stayed in the Clifford room and it really took us back in time. The bed was very comfortable. I did read some of the other reviews, and I would caution people to remember that this is a historic site and isn't brand new..yes the floors creek, yes the doors may have a little gap, and yes it doesn't have all the modern amenities, but this place this is a treasure! I would absolutely stay here again, it was an experience I will remember for the rest of my life!!
