English Bed & Breakfast of the Year? British Boutique Hotel of the Year? The best of Lake District Hotels or top Cumbria bed & breakfast?Augill Castle defies description.

But be assured that it is unlike anywhere you have ever stayed before. A unique place to stay where anything goes except hushed tones and false formality.

"Augill combines the decor of a boutique hotel with the laid back atmosphere of a house party...

... Simply the best"   - The Sunday Times, April 2009

 

 

Famously family friendly, renowned for its laid back friendliness and warmth, Augill Castle can be whatever you want it to be.

Built in 1837 for 'a gentleman of considerable means and leisure' to entertain his weekend guests, Wendy & Simon Bennett now run the castle in a modern and informal style with relaxed service, five star national award winning guest accommodation, exceptional food and a genuine desire to create a comfortable place to unwind.

"This castle hath a pleasant seat; the air nimbly and sweetly recommends itself into our gentle senses"
Macbeth, William Shakespeare

 

What's coming up...

Our audience with Antiques Roadshow expert Adam Schoon at Augill Castle on January 28 has been postponed until later in the Spring. Tickets will be £45 to include dinner, valuation of guests' own items and a talk by Adam.
