augill castle, guest accommodation of the year 2008...

Augill Castle, neither a hotel nor a bed and breakfast, sits somewhere between the two, and offers a unique place to stay.

Simon and Wendy Bennett have created a relaxed and welcoming country house atmosphere, offering breathtaking bedrooms and extensive breakfasts rich in local produce. Ideal for a romantic getaway or house parties (their speciality), Augill Castle are also a prime wedding venue and have gone out of their way to welcome and cater for families.

Augill Castle, in the Upper Eden Valley stands in open country little changed for centuries The castle's backdrop are the dramatic North Pennines with gardens opening out to views of the Nearby Yorkshire Dales and the Lakeland fells beyond.  Step away from the madness of the Lake District to find a very different Cumbria. A green and pleasant land of rolling hills, flower filled meadows, winding rivers and endless views. This is Eden, and if you want to taste a little bit of paradise, where better to stay than a castle?
