Augill Castle is a 19th-century castle nestled in the Eden Valley, between the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbria’s Lake District, in open country, little changed for centuries. Dedicated to comfort, friendliness and informality, the castle has been the family home of the owners for well over 20 years. It provides guests with the experience of a lived-in castle, not a stately home.
Exclusive Use
There are many occasions that bring people to Augill Castle, from birthdays to reunions, shooting parties to corporate events. The experienced team can make your event happen just the way you want it, all wrapped up in a no-nonsense package. Augill Castle was built for entertaining; the house is happiest when it's full.
For the duration of your stay, the only people at the castle will be your guests and a small, friendly and very discreet staff. You can select your own menus and wines, arrange your favourite activities and relax, knowing the rest of the world will keep turning while yours stops in time.
Accommodation
There are eight bedrooms in the main castle, sleeping 16 guests. Some rooms suit couples, others are better for families. There are turrets for wardrobes, claw-footed baths, stained-glass and original, leaded windows with big views. Bedrooms are furnished with an eclectic mix of antique furniture and contemporary pieces. It’s everything you’d expect of a boutique hotel with all the comfort of a real family country house, lived in for generations.
Additional accommodation within the grounds brings the total occupancy to 30 guests.
