Appleby Castle - A historic Norman keep with luxury bedrooms, onsite dining, and guided tours
Appleby Castle, a 12th-century Norman fortress, offers 15 individually furnished rooms featuring four-poster beds, sound-insulated walls, and free WiFi. Guests can dine at Malice Scourge Tea Room, one of the castle's two restaurants, or enjoy a drink at one of the two bars. The property includes a spa tub, business center, and 11 hectares of grounds with wildlife. Located in Appleby-in-Westmorland, the castle is a 15-minute walk from the town center and 65 km from Carlisle Lake District. Nearby attractions include Yorkshire Dales National Park and Lake District National Park. Appleby Castle also hosts events like open-air theatre and battle re-enactments.
Pros
The castle features one of the few remaining intact Norman keeps.
Guests can enjoy guided tours of the historic building and grounds.
The onsite Malice Scourge Tea Room offers a selection of local cheeses and house wines.
The property includes a spa tub and free WiFi throughout.
Cons
The Norman Keep has 103 narrow steps, which may be challenging for some visitors.
Dining options are limited to specific days and times (Thursday to Sunday, 6:00 AM-8:30 PM).
“Staying here means stepping back in time, surrounded by genuine history and period furnishings. The staff's dedication enhances the experience, and the dining, complete with live piano, adds a touch of grandeur. It's a unique opportunity to explore a real castle, offering a blend of comfort and historical immersion.”
