About

Situated at the foot of the Pennines on the edge of the Lake District Appleby Castle is one of most beautiful castles in the North of England with its dramatic architecture and stunning views. Steeped in history dating from Roman times Appleby Castle is one of the few Norman Castles in the UK that allows you to experience living history by staying in the bedrooms and using the historic rooms. The spectacular Motte and Bailey castle cherishes one of the few intact Norman Keeps in the country.

There are twelve luxurious bedrooms in the castle each with their own character. All bedrooms are decorated with antiques and period furniture. The State bedroom features two 16th century four poster beds with all walls adorned with 16th century tapestries and an ensuite bath room. Other bedrooms feature 17th century four poster beds and seven have ensuite bathrooms. Five rooms have their own large exclusive bathrooms across the hallway in this Grade One Listed Heritage Property. Some bathrooms feature underfloor heating, roll top baths and walk in showers.

There are also three luxurious self contained holiday cottages in the Inner Bailey adjacent to the Norman Keep. There is free Wi-Fi throughout the property with a tavern selling local ales in the evening.

Appleby Castle is fast becoming a destination for food lovers and drink connoisseurs alike with a choice of fine dining or private dining. Executive chef Andrew Fox heads a team  producing exceptional cuisine using his own very innovative flair.  Based in Cumbria and with over 18 years experience, working amongst Britain’s best chefs, Andrew shares his talent and passion to deliver mouth watering food in unsurpassed surroundings.

Appleby Castle is centrally located within easy access of the Lake District, Hadrian's Wall, Durham and the Yorkshire Dales. The river Eden runs through the property and our guests enjoy exclusive private fishing privileges just 150 metres beneath the ford. There is an abundance of wildlife with many red squirrels and many walks available. All guests are invited on a complimentary guided tour of the interior of this ancient castle.

Come and experience the jewel in the Eden Valley.
